My deepest sympathy to all of Brian's family. I will always remember Brian as the guy who told me that I was cutting my meat the wrong way. He was about twelve years old. Funny what sticks in your mind. I know he was a great guy and my love and prayers go out to his family.

My deeoest sympathy to Brians children, his family, and of course Beth who loved him more than life itself. I met Brian once at his fundraiser. He was up beat, a wonderful dad to his kids, and a lot of fun. When I was in the hospital, and thought it was the dreaded Mrsa, he called to tell me that it wasn't, and he was right. I will remember him fondly. RIP Brian, I know you will be missed by many.

I am going to steal this from what I told you on facebook baby because I think it says it all.
What we had was a fairy tale. A messed up, bass ackwards wonderful real-life fairy tale. We had our ups and our downs, but one thing no one can question is how much love there was. Those who love the deepest are the most passionate in all things- the ups and the downs. From the moment I met him, Brian Butcher and I had this pull to each other that we just could not ignore-- believe me, we tried. One thing is certain. Brian changed my life forever and for good. I will miss and love him forever, no matter what the rest of my life holds. You are my best friend Bri. My first of so many things. My greatest and most tragic love story. But those are always the best ones, right? I love you baby. Always have, always will.
