It makes me proud to have had you as a brother.I will always cherish the memories growing up with you and the life we shared.You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. We will see one another again and until then, I will call you my guardian angel, my brother.Hugs and Kisses from your sister, Phyllis

Uncle Brian I miss you so much and its so hard to believe you're gone. You have always been a wonderful kind a loving uncle to me and that is something I will cherish forever. I'll remember your laugh and smile, your jokes and the way you could light up a room when you walked in. I looked forward to every family gathering because I knew you'd be there, you made them whole. I'll miss your deer roast, I never did get that recipe but I'm sure I could never make it quite as good as you did anyways. I remember as a little girl you'd always make me laugh by grabbing my knee and yelling " mojo mojo!! " and I would giggle so hard and you would laugh so deep. I thank you for my wonderful taste in rock, Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd etc etc... I'll never hear them without thinking of you and smiling. I love you so much and miss you too. I'm so glad I had the honor of being your first niece. I thank God for that and also for him bringing you home to peace. Till we meet again Uncle Brian, you are truly missed and dearly loved by many.

Brother I will always Love and Miss you more than you will ever know. I think about you everyday and miss our long talks about our childhood memories. I have caught myself quite a few times wanting to pick up the phone to call you! I just can't believe you are gone! Now I sit here wondering what to do, because there's no one to replace you. You were my Brother and my Best Friend. I will always love you no matter how long it's been, since you life came to an end. When you think of me while you're up in Heaven, think of how much you meant to me.
Love ya Always & Forever until we meet again! Your Sister Cheryl
