Prayer for my son, Brian on his 33rd birthday June 2, 1992.
Heavenly Father, on this day, my son's birthday, I lift my heart to you in remembrance and gratitude. Though he is not physically here, his memory remains a cherished light in my life. I thank you for the years of love, laughter, and joy he brought into our family. I find comfort in knowing that his spirit is at peace, and I trust that one day, I will see him again. Grant me the strength to carry on, to honor his memory, and to live a life that reflects the love he gave. Help me to find peace in your embrace and to know that even in sorrow, your love surrounds me. Amen.
My Sweet Angel Brian
I love you and miss you every day my perfect Angel that God put in my life. May you find peace in heaven wrapped in God´s loving arms.
I love you in my heart always and forever Mom

So sorry to hear about Brian. I remember Brian always talking to me about the `"people" . He would make up stories and I would play along." He could go on forever with his stories and had quite the imagination. He´s at peace and I m sure entertaining everyone in heaven. Love Aunt Valerie

My Dear Son, Brian.
You were a blessing, and bright star to our family, and all who met, and loved you. You were a gift. Mom and I loved you so much the minute you were born. You, and your brother, Joseph, were/are our world.
I feel such gratitude, and warmth for
Hector in showing his love, and helping you, Joseph, and Mom, especially during the most difficult times. Humblest, and deepest form of love & appreciation.
I was always watching over you everyday from above, Brian; smiling at your strength, humor, happiness & love, and all those stuffed characters & animal friends....watching you grow into a fine young man, who everyone loved. So proud of you, my dear loving son.
Now I am here, opening my arms to hug you securely, tightly, as you join me in Heaven by the Grace of God.
Love is Forever,
Dad (written by Aunt Barbara)
