I would like to thank all - for your kind words and expression of sympathy in bringing comfort and encouragement to my family during this time of sorrow. It was very hard not knowing anyone - yet very nice to know that my brother Brian was loved by many.

Brian will be Greatly missed and Thought of Often. My Prayer is that Brian's tragedy will become Someone's Salvation.......

That Tenderly ....God's Love - will Heal All Who Morn....

That God's Peace will surround all, and replace heartaches with warm and loving memories of Brian.



Psalm 119:76 NIV - May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.



Numbers 6:24 NIV - "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace."



Brian's Sister,

Linda

I have only known Brian for a couple of years, but out of those years I have found him to be dear to his mother,and friends. He would give his last dollar to anyone who needed it. He had a heart of gold.He loved his country very much, and showed it. As one vet to another, Brian I'll see you on the other side. May you rest in peace.
