To Brian's family and friends, I grew up around Brian and his family in Marycrest; we've had so good times and bad times, but we always made up and did things together, such as baseball, football and many water fights with garden hoses. Brian will be greatly missed after all these years we met again by another friends wake. RIP my friend. All our prayers to his family and friends, God bless you all.
