September 9, 2015
We are greatly sadden to hear of Brian's death. I will keep all of you in my prayers. Although we didn't know Brian well, I did get to hold him in my arms while standing in the kiddie pool at the Crest. I think of that time when I see a woman holding a baby in shallow water. Our sincere condolences,
Rose and Paul Yannantuono

We had the previledge of knowing Brian James for 22 years. We were so fortunate to know the entire Balthazard family. They so enriched our lives when Brian's Aunt Karen married our son Tony. We shared so many fun family parties. We know Brian James is in heaven with God. Hoping this gives some comfort to the entire family. All our Love and prayers, Pat and Tony Borrello
