Our thoughts and prayers of comfort and peaceful memories are with your entire family as you grieve the loss of Brendan's life. Most people from my job referred to Brendan as "the cute CPR guy" as he was one of the trainers who worked with Mike and Matt to support our staff with CPR/AED training. I work closely with Brendan's Aunt Carol and am very good friends with his Cousin Dana so I know how devistating his loss has been to your entire family. In viewing the 241 pictures on the website the joy he brought so many people was evident. I know that you will be celebrating his life this week with the rituals required to start the healing process. Know many keep all of you in our prayers as you begin this new journey together.
Godspeed...
