My deepest condolences to the Wampold family. Brian was the kindest, gentlest and sweetest person one could know. He could light up the world with his smile. I think he was too good for this world, and I know how painful his loss is for his loved ones, but I pray that all the good memories will sustain them. He is finally at peace with Jesus and his loved ones.
