To Brian’s family, You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I must say it was such a shock to hear that Brian died. Aunt Betty I admit that I do not know how you feel, however seeing my mom mourning the loss of Candy. I feel for you and hope that you and all that was close to Brian will keep him in conversations in the many struggling days to come and keep on hugging each other. At this time nothing will seem to take away the pain in your broken hearts, but believe me when I tell with God’s help you will learn to move ahead in your lives…..and if Brian was here he would be happy to know that. I want to leave you all with something from the scriptures that is so comforting and encouraging. Ps. 34:18 reads Jehovah is near those broken at heart And those who are crushed in spirit he saves. In vs. 17 reads that they cried out and Jehovah himself heard, And out of all their distresses he delivered them. Our Heavenly Father knows your pain and like the scripture reads he will help you. And, If you want to know more, please go to our website—JW.ORG. May God be with you all and hope to see you tomorrow. Love Ya, Denise
Aunt Betty, Lisa and Gill, my heart goes out to all of you as you prepare our loved one for Eternal Rest. Cousin Brian touched many lives with his unconditional love and his sweet sweet spirit.

May God continue to shower you with His loving arms. Rev. Anthony and Michelle McIntosh
So sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. I worked with Brian while he was at PRO-TEC Coating Company. Although I did not work directly with him, we still had the opportunity to chat once in awhile about different things. I’ll always remember the time that we went out after work to drink a few beers, eat pizza and play some pool. I even remember the time he made the effort to stop by after work to visit me while I was attending a seminar in Pittsburgh. I will sure miss Brian and his pleasant personality.
Yolanda and Family, My deepest deepest heartfelt sympathy to you all. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God will comfort and keep you…..his son will never be forgotten. Sincerely, Dinah Hainesworth

Yolanda and William. I am so sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in my prayers.
