My dear Mrs. Gray and Family,
I didn't know Brian but daily I feel sorrow for you all as I pass that horrible spot on Belair Drive. I missed the accident by mere minutes. This tragedy has gripped me. I was widowed at 41 and know the pain you already suffered, but my worst nightmares are the loss of my children and I simply cannot comprehend how you must feel. Please know that I pray for you many times a day and will continue to do so. Please contact me if I can do anything to help you, now or in the future. May God bless and keep you.

Mary, Lauren and Kevin,
Our prayers are with you all during these days. We ask God to grant you strength and courage to carry on as Brian would want you to. My daughter, Mary, attended St. Jerome's from the Child Center until the 8th grade and knew Brian, Kevin, Lauren and Brandon. She was deeply shocked by the news. Know that there are many people you do not know who were touched and have you all in their prayers. After I write this, I am sending a check to St. Jerome's in Brian's memory. God bless you all.

Mary,
I'm deeply sadden and my heart aches for you and your family. I have fond memories of Brian as a young boy while attending St. Jerome's and enjoyed watching him grow into a fine young man. His passing is a tremendous loss and I will miss his smiling face and the gleam he had in his eyes and the hugs we would give one another when I saw him at TJ's. May the Good Lord give you and your family all the strength and comfort you will need as you go on with your lives. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless,

Mary, please remember that the ones we love will always remain a part of us, you will always remember Brian, he will always live in your heart, in your memories, and in the way you see the world. I know that so much has changed, but so much will always be... Brian is a part of who you are...of how you live and give. Those priceless gifts are yours forever. In the sad times of life, it's part of God's plan for friends to help friends any way that they can. May you find strength in your faith, comfort in God's love, and peace in knowing we are praying for you and your family!
Love,
