Stacy, you may not remember me but I took care of Fay when she was sick. I just wanted to say that i am very sorry for your loss.I know that Brian had some ways that most of us will never understand..but he also had a very kind, sweet side too..and i often witnessed that side of him...I saw it in the way he took care of his mama, I felt it when he talked about you and the kids..Brian experienced a lot of loss and heartbreak in his life with the loss of his mother, brother and sister...even a strong person would have a hard time handling such loses. I'm sorry for your lost and i am thinking about all of you during this time.

I only knew Brian a few months but I found out really fast that he loves his family and friends. His heart was open as he welcomed people in. He has a great spirit. He didnt complain and even when in pain he was smiling. Stacey I am so sorry you have to let him go......but to heaven he resides and in a little while you will see him again. Nikki....Bri....and Wes....you know how awesome your dad is I dont need to tell you. I am sorry for you. Praying for peace. Love Kathy

Dear Stacey & family,
No words can express the sorrow we all feel with Brian's passing. What a strong, courageous man he was. I've got great memories of love and laughter shared between our families that I will cherish forever. My most recent visits with him will be the most special memories. Brian was a sweetheart who will be missed by us all. We love you all and will continue to pray for peace and strength for each of you. God bless you.
