Brian, you are in my special thoughts this day. I often think of the last time I saw you and the times over at grandpa Ralphs and all the laughter and joy and fun times. Know this...you are still and always will be remembered and honored by those who love you and by those who alongside you, made the choice of serving and putting others before yourselves.
