Kerry I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words to ease the pain in your hearts at this time. My prayers are with you & your wife.

Sister Dear,Kerry and Jason, You are in our hearts and prayers. You have always trusted your boys with us as long as I can remember. We LOVE Brian and Jason as if they were our own. You and Kerry are Great parents and we will never be able to thank you for trusting us with your most valuable treasures. Brian's smile could brighten my day no matter how bad it was. He never questioned why or complained about his life, he always worried about everyone else. He never asked for anything but to be treated normal, no special favors. I have to take that statement back, you see there is a football team ,the Colts and he wanted to go see it as a family but they only allowed one person with him in the wheelchair section. He was really hurt but took it in stride. Myself, I was not able to take it in stride because my heart broke each and every time a family event came about, that young child and eventually a man was always having to decide who to sit with. I'm so very proud this young man was such a big part of my life and I will thank GOD for him the rest of my days. SPIDEYMAN, I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR PUNKIN HEAD. WE LOVE YOU!

I was so very, very sorry to hear about Brian's death. It is a beautiful obituary. Reading that and the messages left here, it seems he touched more lives than most "fully-abled" people do in twice as many years. You must feel so honored to have been chosen to parent him through his brief, but extremely significant, time on this earth. So many of us have prayed for so long that God would heal him, and even though this isn't the method we hoped He would use, I feel certain that Brian is finally completely and totally healthy, and will be for all eternity. Take peace in that. I'm sorry I can't be there with you, but I will join you in prayers at 7:30 tonight. Love you all.... Micki and Family
