The Hoskins family moved into the house next door when I was in 7th grade and my world was changed forever. Mary became my best friend and Brian was truly like a big brother all through high school. He was always getting me out of trouble. He loved to throw parties and made sure everyone was having a good time. What a remarkable friend from a remarkable family. Wendy (Rubin) Jann
