I am so very sad to hear about Brien's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with him. He had a wicked quick wit. My condolences to all the family.

Dear Mary and family, we are so sorry for your loss! He will be missed by all who knew him! I still remember the day his parents returned from Ireland after adopting his brother, John! We lived in Ponca and Ruth and Don came to pick him up. He was only two and after being with us for two weeks he was calling my Mom "Mommy". Ruth was crushed! But after a few minutes of talking to him he was remembering her again and then he wouldn't let her out of his sight! He was so adorable and he was such a joy to have around! Hugs to all those he left behind! He left us way too soon!
