We LOVE and MISS you!! We think about you and all We see is you as happy and out-going as always. I remember the time we went to the tire shop because my car had a flat. you were telling the guys at the counter about a car accident you had had a few weeks prior and that you had hurt your back, and that it was realy bothering you a lot. I just had to interrupt you to let everyone know that if my pants were as tight as yours I would have a bad back too! We Love U Brian...GOD BLESS YOU.

R.I.P Daddy
I Love You Daddy
I'll never forget you
You mean the world to me
And your good spirit will always be
Don't ever think that nobody's there,
Because I'm there in the dark with you Daddy
And know that I care.
Rest peacefully and join the good against the bad
And know I'm your best friend
Still even through the troubles that we had.
Love Always,
Your Daughter
