Mrs. O'Keefe and family,
My heart is with you as Brian walks with God. The unit isn't the same without seeing you and Brian strolling down the halls. You were my best baking critics, and I miss you both.

Dear Luanne and Patti and all Brian's family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you are dealing with the sadness of Brian's passing. All of you have shared in his courageous struggle with his illness. I'm sure you were of very great help and comfort to him during his sickness just as you were sources of joy for Brian during all the happy times in his life. May wonderful memories of Brian help to counterbalance some of the grief that you are enduring.
My family --my husband John and my daughters Anne and Karen-- and I wish you peace and strength at this very difficult time.
(I'm sorry this response is coming to you this late but I have been away in the last two weeks.)
Take care and God bless!
Alanna and family
