Your grief may ebb and flow. It has been said that each of us has this well deep inside of us that can be filled to the brim with grief. Every time we cry, we empty out some of the well. But the well fills again. The level of sorrow in your well may lessen as time passes, but it will never run dry. There will always be birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and those days when the well seems to fill to its brim again. Allow yourself time to remember and mourn. It is part of your healing. Grief is a continuing journey.

I met Brian once. My dad went to high school with his father. My immediate family has also been affected by a young death from cancer, so I sympathize with the MacIsaac family. I give my condolences and sympathy.

Dear Kerry, Brian, Kristen and Carly,
I hold so many dear memories of visits to the Winn compound at Lake Sunapee, and I always was impressed with young Brian's gentle and calm demeanor. He was a true gentleman and obviously a kind-hearted soul...as evidenced when he was with all of his many, many younger cousins.
I lost my brother several months ago and like Brian, he was a guitarist. Found in my brother's car was a page of lyrics. The chorus reads, "But we must journey on and on, there's a new road I'm travelin', it leads me the other shore, he promised that he'd never leave me, while travelin' down the new road." Brian was so fortunate to have such a loving family by his side...his gifts are eternal.

I can't imagine your pain at the loss of your son. There are no words to make things easier. I didn't know Brian, but from all I heard he was truly a wonderful and gifted boy. Please know you and your girls are in my thought and prayers.

No words can express the sorrow we feel at Brian's passing. We look back with fond memories of the years our children played together when very young and how they grew up in Natick. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all

To Brians Family
I was lucky enough to be Brians classmate for 12 years and he was the nicest kid. He always treated everyone with kindness and respect. I am glad I got to know Brian over the years growing up but I just wish I got to hang out with him more. He will be missed and we all must try and remeber the good times we got to share with him.

This servant of our creator was called early to lay lead for those to follow. The family,friends,and associates he chose to help him through his journey from life to everlasting were gifted ones.

Kerry, Brian, Kristen and Carly,
I met Brian only once, but I was so impressed by his bravery in the face of a horrible disease. He was clearly a good and loving son. My deepest condolences to you all.

Brian, Kerry, Kristen,and Carly,
It's hard to express how Brian's passing has affected us, especially Matthew who has been his friend since playgroup when they were toddlers. To Matthew, Brian was a friend you didn't want to loose. Our family enjoyed his enthusiasm and cheerfulness whenever he was here playing basketball or wiffle ball in our yard. His bravery in the face of his terrible illness and how it was affecting you, Brian and Kerry, was remarkable. He will always be missed and remembered for the truly unique person he was. We know the love in your family produced the best that Brian would be as a young man. Our thoughts are with you all at this physical loss of Brian.
Love,
The Roses'

It was my great pleasure to have Brian as a student in the best 7th grade math class ever. As I read the memories everyone has of Brian, I am happy to know he made good use of 'the dash' Dr. Buckley used to speak of. Many of the wonderful personality traits mentioned were already evident in a young man of 13. He made a difference in my life and will always be remembered for his infectious smile.

There are no words to express our sorrow for you and your extended family. Brian was the light of many lives and he was able to share his enthusiasm for living in his short 24 years

Brian’s in a better place now
He’s looking down from above
And while you question why and how
Take comfort knowing he still feels your love
Know that he is always with you.
In your thoughts and in your heart
Know that he will be a part of everything you do
Take comfort in the knowledge that you’re not really apart
Although that you can not see him
He will be with you every step of the way
So while the tears roll down your chin
Remember you will see him again someday.
-Kerry S.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brian was a wonderful son, brother, cousin and nephew. Our family had the privilege of enjoying so many great summers at Sunapee with him and his family, making fires with Pops, treasure hunting, playing all kinds of make believe games that only Kristen and Brian with their wonderful imaginations could have thought up, and taking sunset cruises with Pops and Nanny on the “Winn and Tonics” every weekend. He was always patient with Kate and Meghan, his younger cousins, and even though many times he was the only boy in the group, he always went along with their schemes. We will remember him always for his shy sense of humor, his broad smile, his artistic and sensitive nature, and his big heart. The “Big” in Big Mac stands for so much more than his tall stature, and we will never forget that about him. Rest in peace, Brian Joseph. We love you.
Candy, John, Kate and Meghan

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
