When I was 12 years old, I was laying on the beach at Alloway Lake and I saw Bry walk down to the water. Oh what a crush I had! Five years later, I began to date Bry and you know the rest. He gave me two beautiful daughters and we surely shared some wonderful times. I will miss Bry, I think about him often. I know he's in Heaven, no doubt.

I am going to miss Bry. He was a holy terror as a teenager,not in a mean way, but high spirited hyginks.He was always up to something mischevious.

He was a wonderful cook, His uncle Alton and I enjoyed several meals at the Magnolia Diner, were he would refuse to allow us to pay.

Dont worry BobbiJo his uncle Alton will keep him straight!With a little help from his uncle Chick, Bry Sr and Franny!

Any time you would like to come down for a few days you are most welcome.

The last 4 months of dad living with me, he would always say..."I want to meet Jesus, but he just doesn't want to see me yet." I've been beating myself up inside, bc I felt that I was acting selfishly.. dosing out his life to just keep him around for one more day. I just couldn't understand why he would want to go "home" so bad when there was soo much more for him to see down here.

The only thing that is getting me through the day, is just how strong his faith was. I've never met someone who was soo sure of where they were going and anticipated it. I love my daddy with all my heart.. and miss hearing him in the next room, cracking a beer, smoking a cig and watching Law and Order.

But what I am sure of is that he knew that his children loved him.. and that I did everything in my power to be there for him.

Each day, when I hear an oldies song or smell the country side (just moved) a little smile and a tear come to my face. He is in my heart - and i will again see him one day.

I am so very sorry for your loss.I went to school with Bry, he was my first boyfriend in sixth grade. We were born 1 day apart, only he told me he's was the 4th, mine was the 5th. Larry told me later his was the 6th. I will forever see him at 13, riding his bike. I lost my son in 96, I understand your pain, and just wanted to say everyday that passes you will see, hear, and feel him beside you, take comfort in this for it will help you to carry on. God Bless you all. Eileen
