Memories and Condolences

Dwight, Clara, and Angela -
My condolences on your loss. It was a privilege to have coached Brian during his high school years in Rapid City. Any one who has ever watched a soccer game knows how fortunate I was to be able to build state championship teams around one of the best U-19 goalies in the Country. I will always have the great memories of those years - and also being able to see Brian play for UCONN in a college tournament in Las Vegas. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this difficult time.
Best regards, Mark Groethe

I am so sorry for your loss. I watched endlessly as they searched for Brian, Kelly and Nikko. I SO hoped they would find them alive, just broke my heart when they found Kelly, and stopped the search for Brian and Nikko... Mt Hood has always been one of my favorite beauties of Oregon, and I look at it everyday, and now it saddens me, knowing Brian and Nikko are still up there. Please know my thoughts are with you during this sad sad time.

Words fail when it comes to offering my sympathy. My heart breaks for your family and for all that knew and loved Brian. If you knew him, you loved him. Simple as that. Brian was a sweet, fun and loving friend to me all those years ago in Sioux Falls. I'll never forget him. Clara, Dwight & Angela you have been and will continue to be in my thoughts are prayers.

i helped mark groethe coach brian on his soccer teams in rapid city before he left for uconn. he will forever be in my memory as the most dedicated, talented and hardest working soccer player i have ever trained in the last 23 years. he will be missed and will always serve as an example for me of where you can go with talent and perseverance. you did good raising him, but man was it hard to find a soccer jersey big enough for him!
take care,
brian

Dwight, Clara, and Angela,
My thoughts and prayers have been with you all during this difficult time, I do not personally remember Brian but my mom Mary Erhart spoke of him a lot and reminised of Brian looking at my sister and I in our crib when we were babies. May you find comfort and peace in remembering the good times that you had with Brian. May god bless you all during this difficult time and give you all the strength that you need.

And that is why a 19th century priest at St. Paul's Cathedral in London could confidently write these words:
"Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that is ever meant. It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well."
