Carol and Jack, I am so sorry for your loss. I want to thank you, with everything you were going through with Brian those few days in the ICU both of you were there with a smile and words of encouragment for my fathers speedy recovery. Sometimes you run into people in your life just at the right time, and the two of you were those people for me. Unfortunately I did not know Brian, but from what you shared and some of the entries I have read here he was a truly amazing man who was loved by many people. My thoughts and prayers have been with you over this last week and I hope that you have been able to find some peace since your tragic loss.

Jack, Carol,JR, and Gina: Tim & I were so shocked to hear of Brian's passing. We still can't believe it! It's been a while since we saw him but he called us just after Tim's heart surgery. It was so good to hear from him. We have so many fun memories of our fishing and boating adventures with you all. He was always there to lend a hand. May God give you the comfort you need at this time and we will keep Brian in our memories always. He will truly be missed!!

You fought the great fight,
but now you need rest.
Like waves on the shore,
and most beautiful crest.
You leave us all here,
to cry out your name.
You move on to new life,
that no-one will blame!
My heart is NOT heavy,
but my eyes are so sore.
Knowing its worth it,
to not hurt anymore.
Please Bless Me, My Angel,
and guide me to see...
the angst in this loss,
that set you so free.
Now you are home,
and new life will start.
Just know that forever,
You're a peice of my heart!!
