Dear Peggy and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your son. My thoughts are with you and you are in my prayers. I pray that you will be comforted in this sad time, but please remember the Lord loves you and you will be able to see Brain again. Please let the Lord take away your pain by praying to him for comfort. I don't know any other way to relieve the pain. Again I am so sorry, I hurt for you too! I wish I could be there but we just moved to southern Utah and I couldn't get up there.
My love to you,
Renae

I am so sorry for your loss. When my mom called to tell me about Brian my heart stopped. I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I always expected him to be around.
My first memory of Brian was 6th grade, he was my first "real" boyfriend. I treasure evey moment I had with him from that time on through high school. Brian was a special guy. One minute he would have me so angry I wanted to punch him in the gut and the next minute he had me holding my sides and crying with laughter.
I know there is nothing anyone can say to make the pain go away, but know that there are some of us who have been touched by his love and will forever feel his loss. My love to his family and all who knew and loved him as the terror of a boy he once was and the wonderful man he must have become.
May God bless Brian and those he left behind,
