They were together for 35 years. Now, they will be together for eternity. My brother Brian was his whole world. And Brian was a devoted and unselfish son.

"This is hard. I don't where to start. I guess I will start with, Dad, I love you. I always have and always will. You are my sweetheart. My heart is breaking. I loved to wake up in the morning, come into the living room, kiss you good morning and try to make you smile. Your smile made my day. I seen you through your good days and bad. Shawn and I both. We fed you, cleaned you, entertained you, took care of you and most of all loved you. We would watch Cubs games together, sing together, take rides together and as much as you hated it, we took you boating and fishing. The house is now empty just as my heart is. But now you're with mom, Aunt Palm, grandma and Jesus. I am selfish, I want you here with me. But I know you're in a much better place and your pain is no more. I hope you and mom are proud of your Bri. If I had to do it all over again, I would and I wouldn't change a thing. You mean the world to me dad. I look at your picture everyday and I tell you "I love you". Shawn and I both love you dearly dad."
