Marylin, I am so sorry to hear about Brian's death.



My prayers will now include you and your sons in them as well as Brian. I remember when the two of you moved on to Wisconsin Avenue in Oak Park and from there moved to Wisconsin. I know you and your sons will miss his presence but he will always be in your hearts.

Dear Marilyn,

I was shocked and so sorry to hear that Brian had died. I did not know he had been ill, and I missed the notice in the paper. You can be sure that I will pray for all of you and ask the brothers here at Saint Vincent Ferrer to do the same.

Sincerely, Dan O.P.

Mrs. Boyle,

I was very sad when I heard about Brian. I had the pleasure of working with him at Harris Bank in the DRS department. He was always so cheerful. I remember the day that Brian told me I had a good head on my shoulders and that one day I would get the recognition that I deserve. We kept in touch ever after our department left Harris and went to Computershare. Brian came for lunch one day but I was not at work that day. He left me one of his plants and left a note saying to do what I can to make it look better. That plant has really grown big and I was even able to separate it to make more plants out of it. We had been e-mailing each other since he had been at home, but I hadn't heard from him since March. He always have wonderful things to say about you, especially since the operation. And when he would be talking about your sons, I could tell that he had a big smile on his face. I just wanted to tell you that I will never forget Brian. God bless you and your family.

Words will never take away the pain and the emptiness you must feel but we all know that Brian is going to be well taken care of and that he will forever be in all of our thoughts, prayers and hearts. I wish I could make it easier for both of your families but the only comfort that I can offer is that you are not alone. God bless.
