Dearest Brian Lorraine Family,
My family and I are in complete suprise of our loss in Brian and deeply saddened to hear this news. Brian and I caused much mischief through adolescence and we often enjoyed reminising about these old memories when we saw each other at church each Sunday.

We shared church families at both Christ The King and Holy Rosary. I was always impressed by Brian's dedication to helping train the new Acolytes as well as seeing Brian there each Sunday greeting parishoners--often giviging them a reason to smile as they entered the church. He will be greatly missed by all of us for many years to come!

In Deepest Sympathy,
Randy Rothaus

Dear Deena & family:

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We would often sit near your family in mass after being warmly greeted by Brian at the front door and could tell what a close and loving family that you are.
May the love and support of family and friends help you through this difficult time.

The Semanskee Family
