Brian, I sure miss you.
I only knew you a few years but you managed to reserve a place in my heart forever.
Never forget the 2am phone calls to come and get you or living in my sponsors basement.
Our days at The Base and Morning Star.
Dear Brother, I will always cherish the times we hung out.
God Bless and keep a place open up there for me.
