Hilary and Logan , Mary and I are saddened to hear of Brian´s passing yet we are glad his suffering is over ,he is in the comfort of our Savior. I always liked our time together in our Parents Group when out of nowhere Brian´s soft voice would add to the conversation,sometimes thought provoking and sometimes funny than he would smile and laugh with us. He was a quite man with a wit greatly appreciated.,he threw those zingers at the right moment.He will be missed but we will see him again.

Dear Hilary & family, We were so saddened to learn of Brian´s passing. Our thoughts immediately went to the times we shared at church in adult Sunday school and in the choir. His broad smile always provided the warmest of greetings. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Logan and all the family. May God´s loving care for you bring comfort at this difficult time, Donna & John Colabroy
