Pam and Delbert, we have all prayed for Brian and through it all, the one constant has been Pam's love for her brother. There is really no stronger bond in this life besides our parents than the one we share with our brothers and sisters. I am sure Brian knew how much you and all the family cared for him, but we all have to walk through life alone and make our peace and arrive where Brian is today in the arms of Jesus. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Lil and Bruce

Since his passing I have been remembering what a generous spirit Brian had. He was always so good to me and was always my favorite uncle. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. RIP Uncle Brian. I love you!

I was so sorry to get "the call" Tuesday morning when you went to be with the Lord.You will be missed in the worst way.Always a friend and someone I could count on,whether it was something that would seem so small to others and mean so much to me. Picking me up at work because I was terrified to drive in the ice and snow.Taking in injured animals like Budro and Henry.Treating your nephew Josh, who's father had died,like a son and making sure he had ...and no one ever knew. I was there and saw your love and excitement as your first child Tara was born.I was there when you held our tiny "miracle baby" Heather in one hand. I saw the love you had for my daughter Bobbi. Brian you will be gone but not ever forgotten by family and friends and especially by me,your loving Mother-in-law, Sandy.
