Hello again.
Its been quite awhile since you have passed, I still havent let go. Never will I. You were the best Uncle out there. I remember this one time I was at your house and you cooked on the grill and you made baked potatoes on the grill and I was eating the potatoe and not the skin. You yelled at me, told me that the skin was the best part. You wouldnt let me get up from the table until I finished the whole thing. Still to this day I eat the potatoe skin just for you. But anyways, I wanted to let you know how life was going. Today as of May 8, 2008 I have an interview. I am so proud of myself and you would be also. I miss you! I still constantly talk about you to my boyfriend, so he could know what a great guy you were. You were the best person out there. You wait for me, ok? We will meet again soon or later.
Love and Miss you,
Red

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Well it's been almost 3 years since you had to leave us,but I must say you are and always will be missed by so many.It's been almost 3 years and I still can't believe you are really gone.It's like you had to leave the state for a little while and will be back sometime or another but I know that's not the case in this situation.Losing you was like losing a member of my family since you've known me since I was a little girl sitting out on the car with you ,my brother Mikey,Ginger,and Ronald,and I'm sure a few others that I don't remember :)But I just want you to know I was thinking of you and didn't forget you on this very sad 3 year anniversary.Love you Brian.

It has been over two years since my brother-in-law, Brian, has passed. It took a while for me to be able to do this. Brian, this is for you. I have to tell you your boys are growing so fast, you would be proud of them. Tre tackles people now,lol, and Tyler still likes to cruise for the chicks..lol.. I keep him in line by reminding him what you would say to him.. and sometimes I chase him with greasy hands and get it all over his cheeks for you,you know how he is with dirt. Brian I do truley miss you and I hope you are watching them everyday, because they are thinking of you EVERY DAY. I talk to them about you all the time, what a turn our lives have taken. Please tell my dad I love him also and you guys take it easy up there in heaven, I am sure God wasn't expecting such a party. I love you B, and I miss you very much.

God I miss you .
When you passed , I fell apart and I know it will take a little time to feel my empty heart . You weren't just my uncle , but my friend . And in my eyes you were a God amongst men . I know you are in heaven , because that is where you belong . God took you away on that horrible October day . Just need some peace . I still find it hard to know you are gone , and sometimes I feel God did me wrong . But it is o.k. because if I keep you in my heart then in a sence you are here .

Hope,this is for you sweetie,I am so sorry to hear that Jesus thought it was time for your Daddy to become an angel, but as we all know that living this thing called life never really gives us a definite time to move on.So Hope this is why we live life from one day to the next being thankful for what we do have,and trying to understand why we may not have those certain things we dont. I was a friend of your dads for many years,but mommy's many more as we were growing up.So if it's ok with you and mom I plan on being around for many more. Love Always,Cheryl

My heart is So Feeling!
Not Only for the Loss of a Long Time Friend...
But for the Family & Many Friends that are Feeling the Grief and the Loss of Brian. It is an Unsettling Slap in the Face as to How Short Life Is! We Must Always Keep in Mind, to Carefully Choose the Actions and the Words You Take with the People You Love.....for You May Never Get to See Them Again.
Life is Ultimately About Change...
No Matter How Hard We Try to Keep it On Task. Life Ever Continues to Change. The Choices We are Given are Really No Choice at All. Our Only Choice is How We Deal With it.
I Pray that God Grant STRENGTH to the Children, to Face Life Without Dad.
Hope, I Love You! And I am Never to Far to Talk Too, Share, & Support You. Aunt Chelle

I'm not sure of what to say. I'm still having a hard time believing that this has happened. You were too young to pass on so soon. One thing I do know is that you will be missed by many. May you rest in peace.
