Dear Joe and Julia,

I want to offer you my deepest regrets. Brian has always been such a large part of our extended family since I was a little girl. I feel so blessed that he was such a big part of my life when I lived in Arizona and that he was there with me through my pregnancy and birth of Dakota! He will be missed by so many of us. Love and light to the two of you.

Love, Heather Rae Bennett
