BC I can't believe it's been just over 4 years! I know you are watching down over everyone. I don't know what made me come make me come and make sure that this was still active. I'm glad the decision was made to leave this active for your family and friends!
Love and miss you!

It's hard to believe that in just a few weeks you will have been gone from us for a year. Your family is pushing forward with each day, but you are truly missed by all, family and friends. I hope you know that I have your family's back and always will, afterall, you and your family were there for my little family so many years ago. Make sure that you are taking little Eddie on that "heavenly ride" on your Golden Harley, now he gets to know his Uncle Brian personally. (Lucky little guy). You are missed big brother more than you will ever understand. WE LOVE YOU! XOXOXOXO

Charley is now a year old and is the happiest baby I have ever seen, I just know you are part of that. I can just hear you telling her to take things off the shelf and make a mess for me to clean. In a few weeks it will be a year since you have gone. Just know that Charley will always know who you are. Rob still battles with you being gone but he is an awesome dad and husband and I know that is part from you raising him and being a great role model for him,

Uncle Brian there really isn't a day that goes by that someone that loves you doesn't think about you. I know I do and I miss you so much. It is easy to look back and remember you as a good man because all I have are good memories. I love you and please continue to watch over Aunt Pam and the kids. They still need you to do that. I know it was said in your home many times I love you to the moon and back and it made me think of a poem I heard a long time ago and I know you would appreciate this now.

Perhaps they are not stars in the sky but, rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.

I hope this is true. Love you!
