Oh..my words can not express how I feel right now finding out that you have gone months after. I am devestated. I often called your number just to see if you still had it. I thought about you many times after the huricanne and wondered how you were. Melissa and I looked for you here and there and we had some good times talking about those days! I always had a special place in my heart for you and I will miss you so dearly!
LOve always

I haven't been able to find the right words to sign in, I'm not ready to say goodbye. I know you were ready to put and end to the daily back pain so I just think of that to try and make peace with this.I don't think my days will ever be the same without my "BIG" brother. Good thing I took up some cooking or all of would starve! You did leave me with the famous enchiladas recipe but I never could get those red beans out of you. You did more in your shortened lifetime than any of us will do in ours. Your final gift to all of your family and friends was leaving a memory with each of us to treasure until the day we are reunited. I have soooo many memories and have just recently made new ones, a group of us stayed at moms all day telling each other stories and spending lots of laughs together. How could you do that to your cousin, HA HA HA! I can hear you laughing right now! I could go on and on so I better stop here. I love you, your little sister.

P.S.
I would like to thank everyone for all of the flowers, cards, donations and kind words to my family during this time, it is truly appreciated. Brian's outlook has always been not to feel sorrow for a loss, feel comfort in knowing that they are in a better place. I know this is his wish for all of us as we try to come to terms with his loss.

I keep trying to imagine you with wings and i believe it will take you alittle while to take flight but as always you will be an unstoppable force. Thankfully you are flying now not driving!!LOL!! You left to soon. My life will carry on but will never be the same without a best friend like you. I will miss you forever. Laura,Vern and Kelly-and all- my love is with you always. I love you always bri, Heather

I had the pleasure of spending time with Brian during his travels through Jim Thorpe PA and again when I came to visit in LA. He always kept us smiling and showed great hospitality. He was a caring and generous person and will be missed.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. I only saw Brian twice and the last time he was 4 y.o. and he made me laugh by something really funny that the said while visiting me in Hammond. I pray that God will grant you the peace, comfort and strength that you and your family need. You have a new guardian angel looking over you.

Kelly, Sal, Tristan and family
We want to start off by saying how very sorry we are for Brian's passing. Cruise told Vanna and I on Sat. we were in shock and disbelief. We had to go into Manhattan to run errands and of course there were yellow cabs everywhere, all of us were crying in the truck. We will miss him very much. His smile, laugh, cooking and so many countless other things about B. He was such a great and genuine dude. He loved his family and was a great friend. We will miss you B, but I know your up in heaven putting a smile on all there faces like you did all of ours.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

I remember when Brian stayed at my home in Jim Thorpe and it snowed overnight. His exuberance over seeing snow on the ground was like a 5-year-old on Christmas morning. Remember Brian's spirit and love; live it in your lives.
