Bryan was one of the best people I´ve ever known. He had a heart of gold, and a laugh I´ll never forget. I´m so sorry to the family- I can´t imagine how devastating this must be for you all. We have had such a difficult time processing this since we heard. It doesn´t seem nor feel right.

Rip Bryan! Give Fred and Rosie a big big hug for me.

With sympathy

Sharon, I haven't lived in Maryland for many years, you and I worked together in the same department at Random House. I remember Bryan working there. I was saddened to read about Bryan's passing. I want to offer my condolences to you and Keith and Bryan's fiance. Bryan touched a lot of lives.
