Still miss you buddy.

Happy Birthday! Thank you for watching over everyone.

Thinking of you and praying for you always. Thanks for watching over everyone.

Dear Brett,
We have so many happy memories of you. Your photos are displayed in our homes for all to see and remember you with much love. Little Brett Nolan keeps us laughing just like you did.
Love,
Mrs. Nolan xo

Happy Birthday! Thanks for watching over everyone!

Thinking of you. Thanks for watching over all of us. God bless you

Dear Brett, A few weeks ago we honored the 5th anniversary of your death. How can 5 years have gone by without you? I wanted to do something to make us feel better about such a difficult anniversary so I formed "Team Brett" and raised $2,000 in the Race for Hope. The kids even walked with me for 3 miles! Yes, there were some complaints, but I kept telling them "Uncle Brett never complained when he was sick - you can't either!" We love and miss you everyday. Love, Erin

Thought of you yesterday. You and your family are always in my prayers. Thank you for watching over me. Always.

I was just telling my husband a funny story from college about you (you know the one!) and decided to look you up. So sorry to learn of your passing much too soon.

Brett, I was thinking about you and how you and I went down to Tampa one year to see Jason K. I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you and it makes me smile when I picture your face. It has been a long time friend. You are in my thoughts!

Brett, we will always remember you with joy in our hearts. Baby Brett Nolan will know all about his Uncle Brett.
Love, Mrs. Nolan

Brett, I miss you everyday my friend...I cannot believe it has been four years!!! Love you Dude, JC

Was just thinking of you Brett on my way into work this morning. Can't believe it's been almost 4 years since I have talked to you and 5 years since I have seen you.

Brett, after two years, Liz and I are still missing you everyday. We think about you and talk about often, and the stories never get old. We know you are looking down on us, but it is just not the same not being able to talk to you four to five times a day....I miss ya brother....JC

Brett, as Erin said, you would be so proud of your niece and nephews on the soccer field and even prouder that Aunt Tara paid $10 per goal! Colin is breaking my bank account! It seems like just yesterday we said good-bye. I know that over this past year if you had been here you would have had "some words" with my ex and helped me move on sooner. So please keep looking out for me. I need it! Love and miss you. Your single sister, Tara

Oh Brett, we all miss you so much. We celebrated your life with mass & brunch. Although there were tears, memories of you always bring "miles of smiles" to our faces. I'm so thankful we had you in our lives. Lots of Love, Mrs. Nolan

Two years ago tomorrow, you left us. So much has happened in the last year that we wish you were here to enjoy. The children are following in your footsteps. Logan is number 11. She does drop kicks down the soccer field, and likes to play defense and goalie. Colin averages 4 goals a game and is as aggressive as you were. Brendan just scored his first 2 goals - thank goodness because he was getting jealous of all of Colin's scores. Today we went to mass and had a wonderful brunch with Mrs. Nolan, and of course told stories about you. Miss you. Your favorite sister, Erin

Brett,

Whats the problem, one of your infamous sayings. My wife and I went to the little restaurant on Davis Island that you, JC, and I went to a couple times when you were in Tampa. It brought back so many memories of the great times we had throughout the years. I told my wife all the stories from that trip alone and it took the whole breakfast. We all miss you.

Well, well, well. The big 33! The boys made you a delicious cake and we all sang Happy Birthday to you. Did you hear us? Your balloons should be arriving shortly. We sent them a few hours ago. Brendan asked if we could get on an airplane to bring you your cake. Logan explained we could not because there were no airports in heaven. How we wish you were here... Love, Erin

Brett, today we celebrate your birthday. You are always thought of with lots of love and JOY!
Cheers!
Mrs. Nolan

Brett,
I have been missing you as always. I am going to get together with Tara for your birthday, so I am excited about that...With Love, JC

Brett, Last night we watched the DVD of your memorial service in Atlanta and got to hear all the "Brett stories" we had never heard. Boy, did you have fun in Atlanta! I loved Michelle's story about how she forwarded your blackberry to your work phone so that you missed the 11 phone calls from girls for dates in one night! I laughed so hard!
Once again, Christmas was difficult without you. As we sat at Christmas dinner, to raise our glasses, Brendan burst out "Cheers" and we all remembered you since you taught them how to say "Cheers" with their milk cups! Love, Erin

Brett, the holidays will always be difficult because you are not here with us. I do feel that you're looking down on your family & friends with a beautiful smile on your very handsome face. You were always smiling and upbeat. It breaks my heart to see JC missing you so much but I'm thankful that you were such a wonderful part of his & Gideon's lives. It's Christmas Eve and we celebrate your life once again.
Much love,
Mrs. Nolan

Brett, last week I wore one of your nice A/X dress shirts to work...I think I wear it better than you did :)
Ten years ago you, Gideon, and myself would have been at Finney's or Mugs in Doylestown having a couple of beers on our Christmas break!!! Merry Christmas my friend!!! J.C.

Brett, in your memory I decided to procrastinate and wait until the very last minute to get this in by the deadline - a year to the day you left us. Today was so hard as I re-lived your last day. I'm sure you are laughing at all of us saying we are a bunch of sissies to cry but it only means we wish you were still here. If so, our competition would still be on!

All my love, Tara (your other favorite sister)

Dear Brett,
Today was not easy. I miss you and so do the children. We went shopping for Halloween costumes yesterday and Colin thought we were going to see you. I wish we were. The last time Colin was in a parking garage was at Jefferson when we came to visit you. A year later he remembers that going to a parking garage means we must be going to see Uncle Brett. Brendan asked us last week when Jesus was going to make you better and send you back. Logan wanted to know who was your doctor in heaven. We love you and miss you.
Love, Erin (Your favorite sister)

Hi Brett,
We are celebrating you today. Mass was beautiful and we joined your parents, Erin and the Caseys for breakfast. Stories about you always brings a smile to everyone's face.
Miss you!.

We think about you everyday, and have no doubt that you are looking down on us, smiling...Love J.C....."Back Off"

Hi Brett,
Doesn't seem that long ago when I saw your very handsome face and heard your happy voice say, "hey Mrs. Nolan." I think of you every day and cry many tears often, however, my memories of you always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for all the joy you brought to our lives.
Can't believe it was one year ago...
Mrs. Nolan

Brett,
I can't believe it has been almost a year. I STILL have your cell phone number in my cell phone! You are still an inspiration to all that knew you. Miss you and love you.
Betty Hopper (aka Mama Hop)

Brett,
I can't believe it has been almost one year...Miss you and love you Brother!!!

Hi Brett,
Couldn't stop thinking about you in church today. Thought about Fr. Davids since yesterday was the anniversary of his passing. Once the tears started, I couldn't stop them. Brett, you are the best! I will always keep you in my heart. You brought so much joy to my life and that joy is still here with all of the wonderful memories.

Mrs. Nolan

Brett:
We miss your wit, your laughter, and your ever positive attitude. Peace.

Brett-
I've been missing you alot lately...

Love ya Brother...

JC

Brett, miss you so much. Just looking at photo's which were taken on JC's wedding day (in my kitchen). JC, you, Gideon & Jack K. They brought back some lovely memories...of course, "you" were the most handsome boy in the pictures...if I didn't say that, you'd say it for me! Thank you for being part of our lives. You'll always be in my heart.

Mrs. Nolan

Brett- we just got done Memorial Day, and you and Gideon and I would have been down the sure to start the summer...Good times, and we all miss and love ya!!!

Brett...oh how I miss you! Thanks for the enormous joy you brought to the Nolan family. We have many wonderful fun memories of you, JC & Gideon as boys, teenagers and young men. You always had the very best stories to tell. You lived life with such enthusiasm. Thank you for blessing JC with the most wonderful loving friendship. You were like brothers. You're in my daily prayers. God Bless, Much Love, Mrs. Nolan (I miss hearing you call my name). xo

Brett, Thanks for all the memories and the great times. Happy 32nd birthday, we think about you every day, I miss our daily talks so much.

Happy would-be 32nd birthday brother. You're missed everyday!!!

Brett, we had so many good times together. We talked everyday for the last sixteen years, and I miss you so much. You were a brother to me, and your legendary stories will live on. Love you Bro, JC

I got to know Brett through my daughter, Melissa, when they both resided in Atlanta. Brett had a great personality and I just adored him and am so saddened to hear of his passing. He was such an inspiration to me as he fought his battle. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Although I only knew Brett for a short time, I really cherished getting to know him. He was a very courageous man and I could tell how special he was. My thoughts and prayers are with his family now and always. I will truly miss him teasing me and laughing with him. God bless.

To Brett and The Stanton Family,
In a perfect world the days of spring little league would have lasted forever, or the fierce one-on-one battles under the lights would still be played deep into the night. Perhaps it was the cruel hands of time that pulled us apart in our later years, however, I'm thankful and honored to have spent our youth together. Whether it was spring training in florida, golf in hilton head, or the sandy beaches in la jolla, my memories with you, Brett, and your family are some of my fondest. Your fierce energy, infectious laughter, loving spirit and "brother-like" friendship is how I'll remember you. The news of your passing comes with unthinkable sadness. May your strength and courage now be channelled to your family and friends during this time of great loss. Rest In Peace Brother...

Brett and I have been friends for almost 20 years. I will never forget all of the good times we had together and I consider myself extremely lucky to have been able to call him my best friend. I will miss you brett

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Katya and I were very lucky to have had him as a part of our family. He will be missed and remembered for always bringing laughter and fun into our lives. There is certainly not enough room for all of Bretts great stories but for those that knew him he was always the life of the party and I am sure still is. Cheers Brett! Now you can have that long awaited drink. We love and miss you. Dana & Kat p.s. I will make sure to keep her away from boys like you :)

Brett always had a great attitude about life no matter what and never stopped living it. I have been blessed to have known him for 5 years and I enjoyed every moment we hung out together. God better be prepared because he will have his hands full with Mr. Stanton. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Your son's friend,

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
