Dearest Joyce and family,
Thoughts and prayers are sent your way. I hadn't seen Brian for many years, but I have warm memories of the two of you as sweethearts:) and I always loved his smile and accepting way with others. May your memories and love for each other bring you comfort at this time.

Dear Joyce and James and Scott, Brian will truly be missed, he was a wonderful, sweet, kind, brother in law to me. I'm so proud to have been a part of his family. And as already mentioned by others, his SMILE will be a lasting memory always contributed to him. My love and prayers go out to you, even though God blessed us w/his company longer than expected, we still feel his "homegoing" was too soon. But now he can rest from his pain and suffering, he gave a valiant fight for life, and he loved you three, more than anything else in the world. The world WAS a Better Place, because of him, your husband, and daddy, and my brother in law. Love and Prayers to all of you. PLEASE keep in touch, sincerely, Linda P.S. Psalm 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me."

Sorry to hear of Brian's passing. We rode to work together in the Chrysler Van Pool, many years ago. I live in Grass Lake and retired in 2004. Our thoughts and prayers go with you and your family.

Dear Joyce and family,
I know how long Brian's suffering, and yours, has been---a very long time. Know that I have been praying for Brian and each of you all through the course of his illness and treatment. And now, Brian can rest and be freed of the torment of pending death. You, Joyce, have been a saintly pillar of strength through it all. May you find comfort and peace, and may Brian now rest in peace, eternal light and love. We have been friends for such a very long time, and it is all those happy memories that will give us each and all the strength to carry on. God Bless. Friends forever. Russ
