hey hon, thanks for yesterday the boys and I thought that was totally awesome. We are making it through the day it is just as hard as all those that were between. Weren't are boys little cuties in those baseball uniforms. They sure have grown. I know you can feel how much I miss you and wish you were here with me and the boys again. I know now what you were trying to say to me all these years. I have seen it so much in the last year. It's really sad but you were right. I will hold on to what you said and believe in us no matter what and we have our boys. Those three boys are very special, they are us and no one can ever take that away. I remember your words and hold on to them dearly. They give me the strength to face what ever comes our way. Loving You! Missing You! Forever and Always in your Heart Your Tigs

Brian, lil' bro. I miss your laugh and all you're talking.The day that we received that someone took your life was so unreal, it felt as if the world stood still. Not Brian! my mind was thinking they made a terrible mistake... It takes time, the grieving process- But for the whole family this has been really hard for all...I hope they have a scrabble game up there cuz when it's my time we'll have a game on! Missing you little brother- In Spirit and Strength Love You , Sista Debbie Lumbar

To my little brother Brian,
I miss you so much, i still think this is still a bad dream and wish i'd wake up to a bad dream, in reality I know it's real and my heart breaks. I know that you're here with all of us in spirit. I would like to say that I really miss our long talks we had on the phone, I mean when you talked as you know I could barely get a word in edgewise (ha!ha!). I miss hearing your stories. I was so worried about you not making it to where you belong because you talk to everyone even if they were total strangers you talked with them, i know now that you made it to that door and you're now with Dad, Briana, all our grandma's/grandpa's and everyone else that left us. I love and miss you with all my heart my little brother,

your sis,

Denise

I seldom ask for miracles,
but today just one would do.
To leave the door wide open
and see my love walk through.
I'd wrap my arms around him
and kiss his smiling face,
for Brian was someone special,
no one can replace.

Hon I'm loving and missing you. Thanks for the last 10 years together and our three little guys. Forever and Always in your heart!
