May this light give you comfort as you mourn the loss of your son. Brian fought a valiant battle with courage and love of life. He was loved by so many and will be missed. In the movie It's a Wonderful Life" it is said that every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings. The next fire bell is for Brian. He truly is an angel

Brian may have had a short time here with us, but he made it count and taught us all so very many lessons! He lived with honor and courage and love. To be remembered that way is something even many of advanced age do not achieve. God bless, Brian. He already blessed us...with you!

A young man taken far too soon. Although we never got the opportunity to meet Brian we had spoken to him on the phone and found him to be very gentle and engaging. He wanted so much to one day visit Australia but, regretfully, that did not eventuate. We will meet up some day Brian in a more understanding world. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to John, Jackie and John Jnr.

Dear Fitz and family - I join you in mourning the loss of your dear son. I stand in awe of the strength and love you have all shared during Bubba's valiant fight over these past four years. I know you will find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of this fine young man, whose courage and positive outlook stand as a tribute to him and your family. John, please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during the days to come. I am hopeful that through those prayers and with Bubba intervening for us with Our Lord, that a cure for the curse of cancer will be discovered. God bless you all. Sincerely, Peter
