I wish you were here today
even for just a little while
so I could say Happy Birthday, Brian
and see your beautiful smile.
The only gifts today will be
the gifts you left behind;
The laughter, joy and happiness...
precious memories...the best kind.
Today I'll do my very best
to try and find a happy place...
struggling to hide my heavy heart
and the tears on my face.
I'll sit quietly and look at your picture
thinking of you with love;
hoping that you're doing ok
in Heaven up above.
May the angels hold you close and
sing you a happy song...
and I'll be sending wishes to you
today and all year long.
Happy Birthday, Brian. I love you and I miss you...

Words cannot begin to express the immense void I feel in my heart. I've only officially been a 'Miller' for a short period of time, but the Millers have always been such a huge part of my life, especially Brian.
Brian, you have taught me so many things throughout my life... including to water ski. When I was 9, and continued to fall time after time, you were so patient with me. Even as your son, now my beloved husband, was yelling for me to give it up, so someone who really knows how to ski can go, him!:)
Most importantly you taught me life lessons... about love, caring, compassion and forgiveness. In the last few months you hugged me more often, held me tighter and always told me you loved me. I cry typing this, but as the pain hopefully subsides, those will be the memories that will make me smile.
You and Anita have raised such an amazing man, and I am so lucky to be his wife. I know you are proud of him, and you should be. He is the product of two incredible people. Help give him guidance and support because he needs it more than ever right now. Help me comfort Anita- she is such an incredible wife, mother and friend.
I want you to know that I will do whatever it takes to help take care of your wonderful wife and son (and Harley too). I love them with all of my heart- Just as I love you. I promise to make you proud.
You are such a beautiful soul, and as much as I would give anything to have you back here with us, I now understand the meaning behind 'God only takes the best'- Because, my beautiful father in law, that is what you are- the best. Watch over us, and keep us safe. I love you, Brian.

Words cannot express how sad I was to hear about Brian. He was always a free spirit & I will always remember him as "Twerp". Many years of my childhood consisted of being at the river & watching him ski. Anita & little Brian, my heart goes out to you. May he rest in peace & may you be strong, finding comfort in those who love & surround you.

Anita, There is nothing that I can say to even make you smile at a time like this. Just know that if and when you are ready to get away, you are more than welcome to spend time with me in Virginia or Myrtle Beach. Just take your time grieving and when you can, plan a get-away. So very, very sorry for you and your family.

My dearest Uncle Brian, My heart is broken. I can't wrap my head around what has happened. I am so very sad, but I thank you for the utter enjoyment you gave me my whole life. I love how your smile would light up a room, I love how you would have so much fun in the moment, I loved when you would tell stories because they would always create belly laughs, I loved your hospitality to everyone no matter if it was your friend from yesterday or that you haven't seen in years, I love how you were always willing to help in times of need, I love how you were able to make fun of yourself & not be uptight, I love that you weren't judgmental, I loved your tender heart...I just love you. I am going to miss you so terribly.
