Gene, Tracy and Kelly as I return back to Colorado Springs my heart still aches for you all. I still feel your warm embraces when I think of you from this past weekend. The pain that comes with this kind of loss will lessen but never go away. I pray for you each and every day. I find myself asking Brian ( our newest angel) to help us all make the most of each day and to continue to bond our family in a very special way. Kelly I am proud of you and hope your cousins Maria and Christina can get to know the wonderful person you have become. I know you will let them know someday how really special your brother was to everyone. Brian I miss you so very much and feel the comfort that you still reside on this earth in a very special way thanks to your mother and father.

Tracy Juliet and Family,

There are no words that even come close to express your grief. But in due season the WORD(Jesus) will walk into your hearts and the true Comforter will come. My love and prayers are truly with ya'll. I can only really remember Brian as a small boy, but he grow up to be a BIG hearted man only that comes from a loving mother, father and close family.

Gene and Family of Brian,
As time passes I hope you can lean on your friends and family for comfort and support. Brian was such a true and great person he was always so full of life and happiness. May you look to the Lord to guide you through this time like only he can. I know this is beyond hard for you. There are really no words anybody can say to help this right now. Only time can make it ease off slightly. We are just so sorry for your great loss. Message from the kids, Alexandra says --- "Brian is really nice." Elijah says --- "We will really miss him." Ashlie says --- "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippans 4:6"
