Well Brother, it's been a year since God chose you... HE is lucky to have you for all eternity... You are the best! I'm not going to say this year has been easy, because it's not true. Each and every day is a struggle, but somehow we all have managed to get thru it. Just knowing you are pain free and cancer free is comforting enough. You have touched so many lives, brought many people together, in which I call them family... Thank you :) You have been my best friend, my Hero, and my brother my whole life! I have a very special guardian angel with me everyday. Brother, I know in my heart we will meet again... Until then, R.I.P. Brian. I love and miss you so.
Always and forever,
your sister,
Lisa

Well my love, it's been one year since you left us to be w/ the lord. You have no idea how much you are loved and missed each and every day and what a terrible toll your passing has taken on all of us. Everyday is a struggle but we have managed to get through it. I don't know how, but we have. As much as I miss you, I do take comfort in knowing that you aren't suffering anymore, you have no more pain and that you are in very good hands. I know you are happy and you are watching over me everyday. You were the best and we were the best together. You were my heart, my soul and my life. I know it's time to get over this and move on but that is such a very hard thing to do.. So hard to let go of a great man. I will always love you and I miss you so much. I know we will meet again someday, but until then, R.I.P Brian. I LOVE YOU!!!

I did not get the chance to know Brian Very well. Words can NEVER say enough in the loss of a loved one that young, He is a Hero in YOUR EYES and should always be. My heart is with you. You NEVER seem to heal with the loss of a Parent,Husband or Brother, Or any Family Member. That is why they stay in your HEARTS Forever. I am so Sorry I could not attend the service but MY THOUGHTS are with you ALWAYS. Hold those special MOMENTS CLOSE and NEVER let them GO...
LOVE YOU ALL ..

Brian:
You are My Hero, My Best Friend, My Brother... I never thought this could or would ever happen to you... You've always been there for me, we've always been there for each other... I know where you are there is no more suffering, no more pain. The only pain now is the heartache of losing you too soon... and as for the day you left... WE will always share that day... Without a doubt you've touched so many people, with the warmth of your smile and the love in your heart... YOU, Brian, will always be my HERO!!! I know you are now OUR Guardian Angel... and watching over all of us... I LOVE YOU Brother!!! Always and forever in my heart... Sleep Well Brother

My thoughts and prayers go out to Brians family during this difficult time. He was a great person who always made anyone who knew him smile. He can look down on us and rejoice knowing he touched so many lives in a positive way. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

To my love and best friend, Our good Lord took you from me way too soon. We barely got started on our long journey in life together and now you are gone. I know you are in a better place and that you are better off. There is no more suffering for you, thank God!!. No words can express how much I love and miss you. Life will never be the same for me. I can only hope that you are up there watching over me and that you will guide me in the right direction because I don't know if I can do it on my own. I am lost and feel so empty inside. I know we will meet again some day and until then, you rest in peace my love. Always remember that I love you w/ all my heart and soul!!!

The man I loved
For showing me love
For helping me grow up
For giving me everything he had
For helping me understand who I was
For being there for me no matter what
He was my father
The man I loved
He was a man with honor
His gentle voice was like a sea
In the a peaceful harbor
He was a man with believes
His strong arm was like a wall
Protecting us from the thieves
The man I loved
For showing me the way
For helping me become who I am
For giving me the chance to be
For helping me dream my dreams
For loving me, unconditionally
He was my father
The man I loved
I LOVE YOU NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!
