I know some of these answers would have scared you and yet some of them would have lifted your soul... I am sorry that earth has to be so blind and defiant sometimes, life is a crazy thing bro... I wish as well as many others that we could control certain things. In the end though cuz, its all the same, it dosnt matter what happened once you are on the other side cause it will be better.. just enjoy yourself bro.

Machelle Winder of St. Joseph, Mo USA

"To the family of such a brave soldier..
It is so upsetting when you read of a family loosing a loved one and most of all a wife loosing her husband and children loosing their father. It breaks my heart to read of how a wife and her child still sing the song of their loved one who was once with them before being taken tragically. My heart goes out to the whole family, but keep strong as God is watching over each and everyone of you and he is holding Brian tight in his arms so that he too may watch over his wife and his children. Brian is watching each of you grow in strength each day and I know that he will be smiling down on each and everyone of you. Yours with sincere sympathy.."
Lavenia of New Zealand

"Brian, i never met you, even though your wife and i were best friends! She has shown me what true friendship is! So many time durring this deployment we looked to eachother for a sholder to cry on! So many times we would call eachother durring the night just because we needed someone to talk to!I was there with her when she got the news, and i will never forget the look on shephanies face! The feeling that even being her best friend there was nothing i could do to ease her pain!More then anything i pray that God will give her peace in her heart! The love she feels for you is a love that even death can not take away! I talk to Stephanie a lot, but still i dont have the answers to her questions! I dont understand why, all i know is God is in control! That God has a plan for her life and the lives of your children! The strength i see in her, and her faith in God has given me a new outlook on life! She is so strong! I wish i would have had a chance to get to know you, to thank you for serving our country.
Stephanie, i will always be here for you. No matter what you will always have a special place in my heart! I miss you very much! May Gods blessing come into your life!"
megan Laclaire of fort drum, NY
