With so many memories over 30 years with Brian & Pat, it's no wonder that our last memories of Brian left Jim & I laughing after running in to him unexpectedly 2 years in a row on picnic islands on Lake George with his son, Brian and daughter, Kate.

Brian, you and your humor with be greatly missed. May you rest in peace.

We Remember Them
(From a previous service at Saint George Church, Guilford, Ct, New Union Prayer Book)


In the rising of the sun and its going down,
We remember them.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We remember them.
In the opening of the buds and the rebirth of spring,
We remember them.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
We remember them.
In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
We remember them.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them.
When we are lost and sick of heart,
We remember them.
When we have joys and special celebration we yearn to share,
We remember them
For so long as we shall live, for they are part of us,
We remember them.

Brian, I'm happy we had a last dance at Katie's wedding!
You will always be forever in our hearts. Give strength to Pat, Katie and Brian.
