Hi Brian
Just read Mommy's message and she told you how we all feel and love you.
Grandpa last week asked me for pancakes and it took me a good cry before I could make them. BUT I did not make Mickey Mouse or chocolate chips, they were only for you and Bobby. Hope great grandma is making them for you. I wrote a letter to the man who took you away from us and told him to read all these tributes to you and how you are loved by one and all. Miss you and love you always.

Dear Brian,
I will always remember the first time I met you and your brother, Bobby. Your dad brought you by the office to see your mom and I got my first glimpse of your amazing smile. That's when you first stole my heart. You are and will always be an amazing young man that I had the honor and privilege to know and love.
I miss you Ricky Bobby. Always in my thoughts and forever in my heart,
Mary

Ann and Bobby I am so sorry, I don't even know what to say. I saw him last month.

Our nephew Brian was very special to our family. We loved him very much and hoped he knew how much he was loved. Wish we had more time to spend with him. I know the bond between Brian and his Uncle Mike was very strong. They looked so happy whenever they were together. My girls also loved him and miss him very much. The memories of our family together will never be forgotten. I was Aunt Jeanette and it was a privilege to be Brian's aunt. We will keep him in our hearts forever and will never forget his smile. Our hearts go out to Anne, Bobby, Bobby , Mom and Dad. We love you all.

This still feels like a nightmare to us.we are forever heartbroken your smile will be in our hearts always. I don't know how we will go on without you. Be our angel we love you mom and dad

Brian was a very special young man, always respectful, quick with a witty remark, always smiling and never afraid or ashamed to show affection to both of us. He would hug and kiss his grandpa whenever he would see him, either at work or at home and kiss me on the top of my head. Brian was always there to help us and also my neighbors. Everyone loved him. He had that kind of a personality.
His love for all was unconditional, friends and family alike.
He left us much too soon and left a hole in our hearts.
We know he is being cared for in Heaven by his grandparents and great grandparents. We love and miss yuou Brian

I will never forget the first time Brian appeared at my home. He was just five years old that day and when he walked up to me with a hand shake and a HUGE SMILE and proceeded to talk with me like we have been friends for a long time, I knew at that very moment my Son Tyler had just made a GREAT new friend and that he was to Tyler from that day forward and to all of us. The joy and laughter was endless with the presence of Brian. The only way I can wrap my head around this tragedy is to begin by always remembering the great times and that day. Anne, Bob, Bobby, Grandparents, you are in my thoughts and Prayers with Sincere Sympathy.

Dear Anne and Bobby,

With Love,
