Dear Brian,
I hope that from heaven you can see and hear, not only the tears because we miss you being here, but also, the laughter from the memories that we hold so dear.
We know you would be happy with the people that turned out to say goodbye and that you’ll understand when your parents need to cry.
The pain is deep but the love is deeper. Watch them from heaven and send them signs of peace,
knowing they’ll need time to grief.
The grief may fade over time but the memories will live forever. You’re smile and zest for life will carry them through the longest nights.

For the memory of Brian Edwards. In Gods eyes everbody has an appointed time and a place to call his children home. Now seems to have been Brians. Even though we loved him, cherished him, God had other plans. We don't understand the reason why, but God has a reason 4 everything. Though we may want 2 question why.We have 2 understand that God has his own plan that God makes no mistakes. Even though Brian was so young, such a wonderful person 2 everyone that knew him and God must have needed him more than we did. So now we r left behind the good memories, we must pray that one day we will once again be reunited with Brian. We will dearly miss you and want 4get you and may your memories live on. God Bless You and
We love you Maxine Kelley.

I am truly saddened to hear of the loss of your son, Brian. May you find comfort in knowing that you and your family are in my prayers. The deep pain inside of your heart cannot be accurately described with words, but I can say I "know" how you feel. God will never leave you and He is in control so remember to ask Him to help you accept this loss. Somehow, you survive. Somehow, you go on. As Christ promised "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted". I hope you have comfort in knowing how many people genuinely care and love you.

To all of Brian's family,
Brian was working with us at Advance Moving & Storage the last several weeks, and we all grew to care for him. He was a good boy with a work ethic and showed courtesy, respect, and humor to everyone. Just Thursday we were all kidding and joking and he had us all laughing. He is the type of person I love to have in the company who has been brought up knowing how to treat people.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of loss.
I hope it helps a bit to know what a fine young man others thought Brian to be and that we admire his being a donor.
God bless you all,
Linda Bunch

Look to the hills which cometh your help, for your help cometh from the Lord. He's there with all of you and will always be.
