As we bid Brian farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments.

Mary wrote a sympathy message

“I will remember Brian as a man of few words at times yet often the right ones. So many laughs were shared over a lunch table throughout the years. He will be missed. My thoughts are with Pat and the children. "May the Irish hills caress you. May lakes and rivers bless you". Thinking of you, Marylynn”
