We are very saddened to hear of Brian‘s passing. May your fond memories keep his spirit alive and may his soul rest in peace.
Brian when I first met you on your 16th birthday I knew we would be family someday and you would be my son. Was so very proud of you when you were sober for 20 months and you fought hard. You will be missed and always loved. Until we meet again, love Mom.
