    Sad to think that our days of fishing and playing in the swamps are over, Brian will be missed. Thank you so much to Brian’s big sister, Kathy Dent, for all her compassionate care over the years, making Brian’s final days happier and worthwhile.

    I was just trying to look him up and give him a holiday greeting if I could find him and I run into this. I am soooo sorry for your loss. I will miss my childhood friend as I miss Michael and the rest of the family. May Michael and Brian rest in peace – they were taken from us much too early!
