Playing "Go Fish" card games with his Mom and sisters always produced laughter and good natured fun. Brian had a stubborn streak but you could usually get around him with a dollar bill which he could then use to buy his favorite foods apple pie, fish sandwich, french fries, a chocolate bar or a coke. Brian, God blessed you with a beautiful smile, a loving nature, and sparkling blue eyes that we will miss.

It's never easy to say good bye to the Ones you love & hold close to your heart.And no words can help comfort you in this time of grief. Even though you can't see or hear them they will always be close by. Trying to tell you don't cry I'm OK.And I'll be watching over you until it's time for our great creator to call you home.We have an awesome God .And at times it's hard to understand why he calls us home . Except for our souls to learn & grow Each time God grants us life again.

It seems to me that our God has chosen this year to welcome several good Farrells to heaven. Only God knows why he wants our cousins in heaven, but it is not for us to question. God bless Brian as he joins our lord in a wonderful eternal life.
