Bri,
I keep a sunflower to remind me of that halfway smile of yours that always made me want to laugh and say 'what'z up'. The way it creeped up your face until we both cracked up, like you had the cat by the tail.
I smile just thinking about your smile. Everytime Everytime.
Your missed cuz!!!
Hug them ALL for us........

I wish this sad time of year to pass quickly for the Terwilliger-Hathaway family.
In my family, at these sad times, we try to remember "words of wisdom" to console us-- I offer these from Father Andrew: If suffering went out of life-- courage,tenderness, pity, faith, patience and love in its divinity would go out of life, too.
This time will pass. Look forward to the future w/ baby Terry growing up, Michelle's boys , Dana's daughter --all in Rose's beautiful new house that sits opposite to mine. Celebrate life!

Bryan-
Tonight, it's 2 years since you left us so tragically. Not a SINGLE day goes by that I do not think about you or miss you. Not a single day passes without me thinking about how very happy you would be to see Terry Bryan, your son. He will struggle so much without you. But I tell him all the time about you and have made a BEAUTIFUL hardcover book for mom and him, a copy of which I am posting online on my Facebook page to share with your friends and family so that we can remember the happy times we all shared with you... I love you.

Happy birthday Bryan. How I miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You would have been 32 years old today. I hope the flowers Terry, Dana and I left at your graveside made you smile. I know that you saw we brought your little boy to you. At one point he looked as though he was kneeling down in front of you gravestone and Dana and I heard him talking, saying something like "Hi". You are loved more than I can ever say. I remembered today your impersanation of Ross Perot, your wit and sense of humor and it brought to my sense of consciousness how very funny you REALLY could be at times. How I wish you were here to make me laugh again; to have had the chance to toast your very special day, ( like we always did). I remembered today, most especially, the day you were born. How your dad and I (in the delivery room) cried with tears of happiness that we finally got the little boy we had so much wanted and dreamt about having. What a gorgeous baby you were.........so perfect in every way. And later as you grew into your 2's and 3's, the blonde, almost golden blonde hair, you had..........your blue-green eyes, your special smile, your favorite toys, your adoration and awe of your dad, waiting for him to get home from work , having laid out the clothes that you wanted him to wear (usually, plaid shirt and jeans, which you would dress yourself in as well), leaving his slippers out for him, and the love you surrounded us all with. We all adored you; you were the cutest baby; the first grandson to carry on the Terwilliger name. Grandpa T was pretty happy about THAT!!!!!!!!!!!! My heart aches for you Bryan. Happy, happy birthday son. I will forever hold you close to my heart.

I have many memories of my brother Bryan passing through various chapters of his life — it is hard to write just a few. Watching him grow up and seeing his tastes change was rather interesting. He went from watching Curious George to the Dukes of Hazzard. During the Dukes of Hazzard, he would very loudly sing “Just The Good Old Boys Never Meanin’ No Harm” and scream “YEEE HAAAWWW” every time the General Lee car came screeching onto the TV screen. As he grew older he enjoyed watching sports and the Sopranos. I remember him blasting hip hop and R&B music in the mornings to “gently” wake me up. Later in his life I was always impressed when I would walk into one of his many apartments and he would have candles burning and jazz music playing. Who could forget his first car — yes it was Barney purple and he loved it. Luckily his taste improved as he got older and moved onto a more conservative black Jeep Cherokee as his main means of transportation.
Everyone on Fox Hill Road loved Bryan as a little kid — he was definitely full of fire. I remember, since he was the youngest, he was the lucky one who got to go to Spain for the first time alone with my mom. The Fox Hill Road kids got together to build him a tree fort in the woods near our house. It was Michelle, Robby Betanzos, Andy Park, me, and a few others who worked so hard to have it finished on time. When he got home, we were all very excited to bring him outside to show him what we had built. That was very cool for a little boy. And I remember he had such a nice tan, which must have been the work of Aunt Carmen, who always believed that babies should be “nice and tan” and spend the whole day in the fresh air.
I miss Bryan so much. I was looking forward to having a positive chapter in our lives and having the bonding experience of raising our children together with all the new and wonderful experiences it brings. I wish he was here to see his niece Alexandra grow up with Terry. They are already doing so much together – laughing, playing and of course at times fighting over toys, just as we used to do.
I love Bryan very much and always will.

I have so many great memories of my Cuz Bryan. But my favorite was seeing him at my sister Kathy's wedding in 1987. I had been away from home for quite a few years and was back in town for the special day. I was seated next to the cutest tow headed boy....Bryan. I couldn't believe how much he had grown up & how gorgeous he was. I knew then, he was going to be some charmer. We had a great bonding experience that day.
Later, looking at my sisters completed wedding album, there was a picture of me holding his chin and us doing kissy lips...don't you know he loved that!!!! No matter how old he got, I still carried that image of him in my mind and always will.
So I say....cheers to the beautiful people Bryan!!!! I love and miss you always!!! Your fav cuz!!

Bryan gave me some beautiful memories that will never fade away! One of them was the wonderful trip to spain that he took me on for his cousins wedding...that was such a memorable trip for me and him (that's when we announced to his family that we were going to have a baby!) And of course when he was by my side waiting for our son to be born...he was absolutely awesome and stayed by my side the whole time i was in the hospital (about 4 days) and he was the first one to change baby terry's diaper (there was a little surprise for him too!) Then i had to go back to work and you stepped up to the plate and took care of our son, i will never forget how well you two got along! Bryan i miss you so much and wish you were still here to see terry grow up and play catch with him like you always said you wanted to do...but you'll always be with him and he loves to wear his yankees hat just like you always did! Well Bryan thank you for giving me our precious son terry and unforgetable memories that will never die out! i love you and miss you everyday...i hope youre at peace now with your dad and my grandfather...he really liked you alot and i will never forget how you helped take care of him when he was in the hospital right before he past away...thanks for being there for me and taking me down to the hospital everyday for that last week of his life that really ment alot to me! Rest in peace now Bryan...you will live on thru your son Terry Bryan Terwillger!

I will always remember how proud Bryan looked when he walked into Marty and Michelle's house with Terry in an infant carrier. Both of our family's had come together again for the holiday and this was the first time we saw the baby. It seemed funny to see a bachelor type who liked to ride snowmobiles and motorcycles changing diapers and feeding a baby and loving it!! We continued to see this whenever our families got together that first year. Hopefully, over the years Terry will feel his father's love come through his family and all those that are part of his life.

Brian always had a big smile on his face. The way he was, it makes me remember him a lot. As we were cousins we got the chance to grow up together, and like many stories that I have read here, he was something else. There was a time he use to wave to random strangers saying "hello Bob" with this big smile on his face, and these people didn't know him, but they just waved back. He even tried this with the state troopers on route 84, of course he got a wave from them too.
The last time I got to share some moments with him was at my sister's wedding in Spain. There was something different about him, then he annouced that he had a child in the way and right away I understood what had made him change. He was very attentive to the future mother of his son and was trying hard to keep everthing in place. I think a lot about him, the way he was makes me never forget him.

I was so exited when I learnt Rose was pregant again! She and Terry wanted a little boy so much, and the first summer after he was born I was counting the minutes till I could take care of him,and play mommy....He was very cute,green eyes,blonde hair,ALL BOY! He wanted to be like his daddy,always after him,went to the store together on Sunday mornings to get donuts and something special for him...he loved his Tonka trucks and was always sooo neat with all his stuff. His room was very tidy,a contrast from his sisters,Michele and Dana! When I had my firt baby,Diego , and stayed in Fox Hill one winter,he was exactly the same age as I was when he was a baby,13,and he took him out for a sleigh ride,played in the snow with him,gave him baths in the tub and made matching punk hairdoos for both! Bry, I know you are happy in heaven next to your Dad,someday we will all share your etenal peace and happiness. I love you very much, Maria

One of my most favorite memories of you is the nicest compliment you ever paid me (though indirectly). I overheard you tell a friend that I was a class act and that if you ever seriously thought about getting married, you would send for a mail-order-bride from Venezuela. How proud I was to have heard you say that!!!!!!! Gone from my sight, the day you died, left me here with a broken heart. Inside my heart you still live on, I treasure you my beautiful son. You will forever be my side, two worlds apart can not divide. When next we meet, I'll dry your eyes and sing to you a lullaby.

Bryan and my relationship had three stages. The first, when we were kids and got along like brothers. I remember playing basketball and riding bikes in the woods with him. It was hard for me to keep up most of the time because he was 5 years older than me. Second stage were the teenage years (both his and mine) where we lost touch a bit. Lastly, the third stage where we started connecting again. Unfortunately, this stage didn't last nearly long enough. I remember him telling me that he was going to have a kid at my graduation party and asking me to be the godfather. It was a great moment for me to feel like we were connecting like brothers again. I only wish we had the chance to strengthen that relationship more.
Some specific memories: rolling his snowmobile over on my foot, wrestling in the loft, going to NYC for his 30th bday, heckling a horrible comic at the club, nearly dropping his motorcycle on first street, his son's christening and playing SOCOM3 online for hours upon hours with him. Miss you Cuz.

After reading the recent postings, tears came about as Bryan was a unique man.
I was very happy to see him in Alicante for Rosana´s wedding as I felt he had matured. He had progressed enormously and he seemed very serious on his life ahead.
Bryan liked Alicante very much and was hoping on someday returning to Alicante with Stephanie and his motorbike. He would be a "king" of the road.
Well, he never got back to Spain but he did become a king in heaven. God bless your child and eternal peace and happiness to you Bryan.We miss you dearly.
Love,
Uncle Nelson

I mostly remember summer days at the swimming pool and specially one day when I was very small, I woke up and almost couldn´t open my eyes, I wanted to have some breakfast and suddenly I felt that sady the dog wanted me for breakfast, I got really scared as he put his big paws on my shoulders looking at me very seriously, I looked to the right and Bryan was there, smiling, he came and took sady away from me, maybe I dont have detailled memories about him as I was very small when i lived in the US. But i can affirm that his smile gave me a feeling of protection that i dont feel every other day.
I also loved when he came to Alicante, to Rosana´s wedding, I saw him very interested in my life in barcelona, in my studies and future and could see happiness in his eyes, this day i remembered that smile.
I LOVE YOU BRYAN.

Remembering Brian...
Who would have ever thought that the adrenaline junky Brian would fall in love with a brown eyed, black haired...horse. I was surprised when Brian showed up to go horseback riding, it is very slow and relaxing, especially on Inigo. I have to say he was like a little kid up there on there on that big old guy. I was even more surprised when he asked if he could come and go riding again. He truly looked comfortable and happy.

I have so many great memories from my adolescence of Brian. I first met Brian through my friend Trisha. We were from Newburgh and when you are a teenage girl growing up in Newburgh the best thing to do is meet "cute" boy's from other town's. With his sparkling blue eye's and dark hair every girl I hung out with thought Brian was adorable! Brian and I were alway's "just friend's" but from the start we found out that our parent's knew eachother. Rose, I don't know if you remember me but, you went to school with my mom Marie (Dellamarco) Mac Millan and dad Jim Mac Millan. Well, that pretty much meant Brian was a common guest in our home and a friend for life. We spent most of our teenage year's going to the mall and movie's together, listening to our breakups and make-ups, talking on the phone and just hanging around. Even though as we got older and grew apart Brian alway's managed to stay in touch. I wouldn't speak to him for a year and all of a sudden he would call from out of the blue. He even got you Rose, a massage from me when I first started working as a massage therapist. I miss seeing him around and most of all I miss seeing him smile. He ALWAYS had a smile on his face. Sincerely, Stefanie Mac Millan

Bryan was fun to hang around with he always used to come over to our house and just hang out and we always had fun he was mischeivous but that is what made him fun - even though I lost touch with him I will remember the good times that we all had with him

I loved his smile, he had a cute smile and his laugh always reminded me of your father's laughs.
I remember one time back when I was in junior high in Newburgh... there was these type of shoes that were "in style" with all the young people... they were like black patent leather, very shiny and kinda pointy...anyways one weekend we went over to your house (I think it was like a Sunday to have dinner) and so I wore my shoes... Bryan just loved them, he asked me -- no begged me -- to please let him borrow them to go to this party he was going that night... ( I thought he was crazy!!!!!) first of all they were the girl's version of the shoe and they were not even his size...!!!!!
But he kept insisting that he wanted to wear them to be COOL!!!! hahahahaha I said sure I'll just borrow something to go home in and you can have them for your party.... well it turned out that it was the size that did not end up working out -- the shoes hurt him too much and he could not be comfortable in them at all... so he never wore them that night but he sure did try!!!!

I remember a motorcycle ride we took to Lake George for bike week. What a ride that was…the tall guy, John Redling and I were pulled off the side of a long stretch of Rt32 upstate trading bikes for a test spin..when bryan and Anthony Cucurullo go rippin by…then about 10 secs later..a cop…hahahaha..so we slowly road up the highway to see Anthony and bryan off bikes, helmets still on talking to police…
Bryan got a ticket for 105 in a 55…10 MPH more and he would’ve gotten impounded! Funny thing was the cop says to Bryan…”hey...you and your girlfriend there were really flying on this curvey road!”
HAHAHAHA his girlfriend was ANTHONY! Hahahaha We laughed so damn hard…

The thing I remember most about Bryan was the sense of adventure that I got from being with him, hanging out at Fox Hill Road with Carlos and him. I remember that we always did fun things, always went exploring different places, especially in the woods around your old house. As a kid, I use to look forward to going to your house so much, or waiting for you to come and pick us up. We went to a neighbours house once, and he had an old tire hanging from one of his tall trees, and we would take turns swinging from it, you almost felt like you could fly. I really had the time of my life back then.
I love you all very much

allot of memories.......I am unsure where I should start; one of my most distant memories were of Danny, me and Bryan playing basketball almost what seemed everyday on Foxhill Road between Bryan's house and the Betanzo's. Sleeping over, downstairs in the basement and waking up to Mr. Terwilliger and most times Mrs. T telling us "you guys can't sleep all day!" Allot of good times on Foxhill Road......thinking about some of them makes me grin ......especially the time Bryan and Johnny Sennett (Danny Child's friend from Goshen) took Mrs. T's gray car and drove it down the back of the property and crashed it behind the neighbors house. And yes, I do remember shooting BB guns at passing cars on Rt. 300, or better yet, in the Fall one year, the three amigos (Bryan, Danny and I) making a scarecrow with Danny's jeans and shirt filled with leaves (life sized) and tying a rope around it and throwing the rope over the telephone wires on the top of Rt. 300 near Strawridge Road and swinging the scarecrow from behind a tree and out into oncoming traffic on Rt. 300. We almost caused many accidents that day.....luckily nobody crashed......but boy, did we get chased....one of the cars doubled back and caught us off guard...chasing us through the neighbors yards...until we lost them..... Looking back, I guess we were a handful.......but we had a lot of fun....I never got a chance to thank Bryan, Matt Scherf or Danny either for my first formal introduction to a K-9 German Shepard and the tall guy in the blue uniform holding the leash. This, after we terrorized sleeping patrons at the hotel behind the YoBo restaurant on union Ave. and got chased by the police and hid in the woods for what seemed like hours. All in good fun....... too many memories...memories that hopefully will never fade.
I am positive I could easily fill a couple of more pages.....
To this day, there still many times in my life that Bryan pops into my head.....I will never forget the times that we shared........and will always remember the fun and laughs that we had growing up....
Bryan....you will be sadly missed and never forgotten! Wishing you Godspeed....

Rose, Michelle, Dana,
One of the funniest things I'll remember about Bryan was his imitation of an old person leaving a phone greeting on his answering machine. I called his number and his answering machine answered in an old voice " you have reached ohh, ohh, just a minute,I have it here somewhere (sound of fumbling through papers , and dropping the phone) ohh , oh yes here ....845- 6... ohh, ohh,Well just leave a message"
I still can hear that routine and laugh my butt off . I even tried to copy that routine myself, but couldn't come close to sounding like Bryan.
Bryan is in my prayers every night.

I remember Bryan as a punky little kid when we returned from college one weekend... he had just had a party the night before while rose and terry were out of town.... he was so nervous about being caught, having a party with 100 of his closest friends... he was cleaning beer cans feverously...that's when we decided to hide a few empty cans in places he had already cleaned up... brian varley was really good at keeping a straight face while you and i kept pointing out cans he missed and we had planted.... it went on for a good hour.... i still laugh when i think about it... i know there will be a lot of stories...how great to keep his memory alive... thinking about you and your family...
lots of love,

On the verge of a year past, one can only reflect at the day of the loss and wonder, still...why did this have to be? I've been on 3 snowmobile trips this year with Sal Bordone and without fail, when we arrive to Old Forge and get out on the trails, we pause and laugh at the glory of the trail we just rode on. Then a peace comes upon us and I say to Sal.."Bryan use to love this place bro, remember that trip when..." and the stories unfold. To his dear family, Rose, Michelle, Dana and their respected spouses, loved ones, children and family members abroad, my heart goes out to you on the 1 year anniversary of Bryans passing. He's definately in your thoughts today and evermore, as he is within mine.
God Bless

I sit here in denial as I have to write this. I have been avoiding this for days because this is very hard. This has effected me more than family. Bryan a beautiful person, a dear true genuine friend I am so honored and happy that I have shared much of my adolescence with you. You were fun loving and had a great spirit may it live on in your son. Its been over a decade that I have been to NY, but it still feels like yesterday when we spent time together. I regret that I have lost touch with you through the years such as life goes. Thank you for sharing yourself with me. And Mrs Rose Terwillger you may not remember me but I want to thank you for always being so sweet to me as a young girl in your home. I am so so sorry, my thoughts are with you all. I have some photos of Bryan having fun times I can display if no one objects I will put them up. I wish I could do more. One day I will see you again. Bryan, I will love you forever and never forget you!

I can not find the word's to express how deeply saddened I am for your loss. Brian was such a huge part of my adolescence. I am happy to say that I have many fond memories of our growing up together and still can not believe that I am not going to be able to run into him and reminisce together. I pray that he is in a better place and what ever personal pain he was experiencing is no longer with him. I hope he know's how many people truly cared about him. My parent's Marie and Jim and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family. Brian will never be forgotten. Sincerely, Stefanie Mac Millan and family
