May your grief be diminished, knowing that we care, the grief that you have we also share. Look to the rainbow that follows the storm, it will make you stronger and help you transform.

To the family, my prayers are that our heavenly Father give you peace of mind and shield you from the pain and grief of losing a dear love one. Especially for Brian's daughter, Brisha, may the good Lord watch over her, protect her, and guide her for the rest of her life as a father would. Brian was a good friend, a pool buddy, and co-worker. He was a very easygoing mellow guy. We will miss him a lot. Rest in peace, May God Be With You!!!
