To Brian’s Family – I am so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing, I had heard he was sick and was unable to be there for his benefit. I have so many memories from high school of my best buddy Brian, he was always a phone call away to listen to my teenage chatter, he was a very good listener and always my friend. I will fondly remember our adventures with the Cosmos kids in those days, so many memories!! He was never in a bad mood, always smiling and true to his peeps. I will miss his laugh! Thoughts with all of you at this time. He will certainly be missed around town, His heart is in heaven and I will see him again then. Take care all, prayers for peace at this time of sadness. Sandy.
