You are a "hero" in so many ways. I was teaching my boyfriend's daughter how to drive and I stopped by to visit you and I just wanted to let you know that you have touched so many lives and the hearts of young children. They truly admire you for your bravery. Your mom has done such a beautiful job w/the pumpkins. She is so creative. We all miss you and you in our thoughts and our prayers. Kevin, Jomie, Sean, Kris and Mackenzie."

"Brian, I have been married to a Moquin for 47 years and know that there are many relatives back east that we have never met. We lost our grandson on Dec.1, 2005, John Holmason. John was one of ten Marines who stepped on an explosive device in Fuluzia, Iraq. Freedom is not free, is it? My husband Thomas Francis Moquin is retired Air Force and spent many months in Viet Nam. My son Matthew was a Recon Marine(1976/2000)who picked up radiation and died from Lymphoma at the young age of 24. The only way I can get through each day is to thank God that I was part of those two brave young men's lives for at least a short time. My prayers are with your family and I wish I could have known you as I know you are also a part of our family. Love and prayers."

"I remember, when we used to skate and bike down in white city back in the day.. you were hungry, and you ordered a biggie size BigMAC meal from Mcdonalds one day. You paid for it all in pennnies. They were spread the whole way across the counter and you counted them out for a good 10 minuets. We were laughing our asses off because the manager was so ticked off. But you said "It's money, isn't it buddy?" he shut up eventually, and you got your BigMAC.. You could always make anyone laugh, and i still don't know if i've laughed as hard as i did that day. gonna miss you bri,& watch over. peace"
