I cannot believe 12 years have passed since you moved on to another realm ! As with my other cherished loved ones , I feel stuck in a time warp between when you all leave us and how much literal time passes us by , my heart and mind are way back there , making your departure seem so recent .
I hope your soul met up with mike , Dave loco ,my mom n dad and with Anthony too ! You are very missed here , your children have grown into the most beautiful amazing adults that you undoubtedly are incredibly proud of and missing dearly . I recently spent time with Connor ( maybe you know this already ? ) I´m so proud of the young man he´s grown to be and I am so pleased how close he and keith have been in the years since you left, closer now then ever I would say ... the view each other as brothers and the kind of close friends that they can each count on when needed ... I Love this so much ! I Love you and your family so much , I hope your resting easy and surrounded by the spirits and Love of those you also loved here .I miss your smile, enthusiasm and your big hugs ...you are forever in our hearts Bryan

Ann, Connor, & Megan I am so sorry for your loss of Bryan. I met Bryan when I was 5 in K at Bonny Doon Elementary. We went all through school together and he was a good friend. I know you will all miss him dearly. I know words cannot help the hurt, but I would like to share some photos of your husband/father with you. To Carol and Mike, my heart goes out to you. Bryan will be greatly missed by so many. You are all in my prayers.
