HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY!!! I trust the angels are throwing one big celebration for you today...enjoy...you deserve to be celebrated!! I will not stand at your grave and cry..you are not there you did not die..You are a thousand winds that blow..you are the diamond light on snow. You are the sunlight on the ripenened grain..you are the gently falling autumn rain..when I wake in the morning hush you are the swift uplifting rush..of quiet birds in circling flight .. you are the soft starlight at night..I will not stand at your grave and cry...you are not there ..you did not die...Always & Forever, Mom

Brien... Everytime I think I've 'moved on', that I've come to terms, your face pops up somewhere or a song comes on or a movie or whatever and I fall apart again. Happened again this morning. Funny, you'd think I'd have stopped crying over you a long time ago. And I can't. I miss you. I suppose I always will. I guess you just don't replace pieces of your heart. Watch over me, Bri, and my kids. *love*

Three years ago today (well, I guess technically yesterday), you chose to leave us all here and go on to something better. The pain hasn't gotten any easier...it still hurts to think about. I try to remember you and smile, but sometimes the pain of you not being here overrides any happiness I might have in your memory. I miss you, Bri...a lot. You are my big brother and at times I feel lost without you here. I want to talk to you about so many things and get your feedback and input. Perhaps in my dreams...I love you, Brien.

Brien,
In a few days it will be your 30th birthday. The night you were born I had gone to a class and when Bill picked me up he told me you were born and that you and your Mom were okay. I was so happy! And every year I always remembered your birthday. In those days I wasn't good at sending cards. But this time I am letting you know that I remember.
You were the most precious, beautiful child and from all that I have learned about you in these past two years, you had become a wonderful young man loved by many.
So happy birthday and I love you! Grandma loves you too.

Oh my God; I just learned of your fate nearly a year ago now. This is such difficult news to process. I remember Brien in preschool with my daughter, Jessica. I can hear his voice and laughter from then in my heart. He was such a loving little boy. We moved from Olympia to Port Orchard before Brien and Jessica started Kindergarten. I saw Sherri from time to time as our lives went separate ways, but I've always kept not only Sherri, but all her children in my heart. I've wondered what each one was doing with their adulthood. Now I find Brien was at Little Creek.......just down the street from us. I wonder if he was in the room when I visited infrequently. I am so sorry to hear of this untimely passing of a young man so loved by so many.
Megan ~ I remeber meeting you as a 3 or 4-year-old. My heart breaks for you. Yes, we all too often don't know the depths of those we love. I think some wonderful souls who have been with us a short time were "on loan" from God to bring us happiness and teach us something about ourselves......maybe to love deeply.

Merry Christmas Brien.....I got the lights up this year pretty much on my own...the tree is beautiful..hope you can see it from where you are...it was decorated with much love and good memories of you. I remember your very first Christmas...we took you to church for the Candlelight Service..you were just over three months old..as the Christmas story unfolded on stage..i remember holding you in my arms and feeling so very blessed..i even thought i most surely understood how Mary, Jesus' mother, must have felt that special night ..and the tears streamed down my face as the choir led the congregation in singing Silent Night...i still cry every time i hear that song....Merry Christmas my precious first born child..i love you with a love so deep and miss you with heart so full of prescious memories....Always & Forever, Mom

Merry Christmas Brien! They say this stuff is supposed to get easier with time, but it isn't. I'm discovering that this Christmas is harder than the last. I think about you constantly and our last Christmas together and how we hardly ever saw each other and how that was the last time I ever got one of your wonderful hugs and my heart aches for one of them again. You always seemed so happy at this time of year...I remember how you would laugh at me and mom trying to put the lights on the Christmas tree until finally you decided to help us out. She did them by herself this year; I think you would be proud of her...she put them up for you. If I was home I would have helped her, but I trust that you were watching out for her. I just miss you so much ...I miss your laugh and you picking on me. That was one of the things you said you were going to miss when I left for college and it was definitely one of the things I missed then and is one of the things I miss now. I passed all of my classes this semester, even though I thought I was going to fail some of them. I read the note you wrote in my book saying you were proud of me and I hope that you still are. I'm trying, Bri, I really am...it just gets hard sometimes. I don't know if I ever told you that I am a certified marine mammal stranding responder for the state of Hawaii...I haven't had to respond to anything yet, but hopefully something will happen while I am still on the rock. I am supposed to get trained to use the incinerator at the University of Hawaii labs (cause that's where we will be performing necropsies of dead marine mammals)...thought you would find that funny. I wish so much to be able to talk to you and tell you all of this and hear your response...I know that you would be proud of me and happy for me, but sometimes I just need to hear it. My heart hears it, I think. I wish you were here with me now cause here I am crying and I know that you would find some way to make me laugh...cause that's what you always did. You took care of me when I needed you to. I remember when mom had her hysterectomy and you made sure that I ate and went to school and you drove me to the youth and government meeting and then you took me and Josh to the hospital to see her. The background of my computer is a picture of you, Josh and me at my first Christmas and you are holding me; keeping me safe. Even when I was a baby, you were my big protector. I love you with all of my heart and soul Brien. Please remember to go and see mom tomorrow...she'll need it, I'm sure. I worry about her cause this time of year makes her sad too. Its like we are caught in the parallel of being happy cause its that time of year (and you know how much we love this time of year) and being heartbroken cause you aren't here to share it with us anymore. I love you...

Merry Christmas Brien, Sure am missing talking to you. We have a lot of snow right now. We got 24" here in Loveland. Megan is here right now and i'm glad she is. We went to Estes Park and there was a lot of snow there. I think of you often Brien. I feel that you know that. When I look at the beauty of the wild around me here I know that you can see it as well. I love you Brien. We'll talk at you later.

Hey Bri, just checking in to remind you that not a minute in a single day goes by that you are not with me...I see you all around me..people , places, lots of things remind me of you or bring back memories...sometimes if I close my eyes I can feel your arm around me and picture that beautiful smile of yours...it helps keep me going. While I've pieced together things that I think help me understand ...the hurt never stops and I never stop asking "what if". I love you with my whole being....as a mom it's difficult to understand why that wasn't enough to keep you here...did I fail to show you how I felt? If you can hear my heart now...and I believe you can...please feel my love...and please forgive me for all the ways I let you down while you were here...Love you always & forever, Mom

I just read "Dispatches from the Edge" by Anderson Cooper and when I read this part of the book, I felt so connected to what it said and thought that this would be a place to share it.
"I worry I've forgotten what's important about my brother, what's not. I recall looks, images, arguments. There was the time Carter punched me when was an infant. The time in high school when he screamed at me, "You're not my fucking father!" and stormed out of my room. The day I scrawled, "I HATE HIM!" in a diary.
"Were you close?" Inevitably I get that question. Sometimes it's right after a person finds out about my brother's death; sometimes it's only after a few weeks of their knowing me. Were we close? Not so close that I knew he was going to kill himself. Not so close that I understoof why he did.
I knew his laugh, his smell. I knew the sound he made when he walked through our front door, the jingle of his keys, the particular way his shoes scraped on the floor. We didn't talk, however. I didn't ask him deep, probing questions. Do any brothers do that sort of thing? I knew what I observed, I knew his surface, but clearly that was not enough.
I still dream about him, and in my sleep he seems so real. They're not happy dreams, however, because I know he's going to kill himself, and there's nothing I can do to stop him. I wake up believing for a moment he's alive. I wake up filled with dread.
I found a Polaroid of my mom, Carter and me celebrating his birthday. It was the first one after my father's death. The cake is small and has twelve white candles almost a foot and a half in length. Carter bends sideways in a half hug with our mom. She's smiling, and I'm next to her. I find these photos from time to time--frozen moments, I can't remember. Every time I do, the violence of Carter's death shocks me again. I keep the pictures, as well as his scribbled notes and magazines--the things I found in his apartment. I tell myself that one day I'll go through them and perhaps discover some clue that will help me understand, help me answer the question: Were we close?"
I love you Brien and I miss you more as each day passes by. I hope you know how much I loved you when you were here and that you are always in my heart.

"Drifting" by Sarah McLachlan~ You've been gone for so long all that you know has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow of the beautiful strangers that whisper your name, do they fill up the emptiness? Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one. You have been drifting for so long and I know you don't want to come down, but somewhere below you there's people who love you and they're waiting for you to come home...please come home. You walk in a room and the world stops to stare, you mesmerize all who are caught in the glare of the spotlight that follows wherever you go, does it light up the empitness? Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one. You have been drifting for so long and I know you don't want to come down, but somewhere below you there's people who love you and they're waiting for you to come home...please come home.........I love you Brien.

Brain & Family,
Harry Chapin was a wonderful singer/songerwriter. He passed away in a car accident. I had the chance to see him in concert shortly before that. He sang stories from his heart.He was wonderful.Scott and I think,and speak of Brien as if he were still apart of our lives. We speak often of the great memories that we shared with him for so short a time. This month, we speak with love and appreciation knowing he has been gone a year, but he is in our hearts, always. These are the words to Harry's song- All my life's a circle-Think of Brien...... All my life's a circle, sunrise & sundown. Moon rolls through the nightime, Till the daybreak comes around. All my lifes a circle, but I can't tell you why...The seasons spinning round again, the years keep rolling by. It seems like I've been here before, I can't remember when, but I have this funny feeling that We'll all be together again. No straight lines make up my life & all my roads have bends----There's no clear cut beginings & so far no dead ends............. We Miss You Brien!

Hey Bri, I listened to this song the other day and remembered how we put it on the CD we played at your memorial. It just made me feel sad cause I really do wish you were here....
"Wish You Were Here" by Incubus
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy
So happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were...here
I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy
So happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were...here
Wish you were here
The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air, saying
I wish you were here
I wish you were...
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were...here
Wish you were here

Hi Brien, Just wanted to tell you I love you and miss you soooo much. I drive thru downtown sometimes to feel closer to you...but that is sometimes bittersweet....I don't get how the world can just keep on moving forward without you here...things will never be the same. It was just about a year ago that I helped you move into your apartment over Rubys...I was happy for you and was looking forward to helping you find furniture and stuff to furnish you new home...I remember how sad I felt at you moving out that night...you'd moved in and out of my house many times..but I remember feeling such a heavy heart as I watched you pack up..I was happy for you so it didn't make much sense at the time...but now I wonder was I picking up on something???

Hey Brien- I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I think its cause the holidays are coming up and I know that you won't be around for them this year. I miss you so much. I thought it would get easier with time, but its only getting harder. I miss you and wish you would come back, even just for a second...just so I could see you again and hear your voice again. I love you, Brien. ~Megan

Happy Thanksgiving Brien......Brought back many memories of Thanksgivings past....Do you remember the times you and I got up at the butt crack of dawn and went to the grocery store to finish up what we needed for dinner...and what about the food fights at the dinner table?? ...I still find a little fleck of dried on whipped cream from time to time.....Megan helped cook her very own turkey dinner this year and she was in charge of the potatoes...she wanted to try and make them just like yours(except no sour cream)
I missed you yesterday...I miss your hugs and the way your eyes light up when you smile...and the way you enjoyed a good home cooked meal.....I am thankful to love and to be loved by you...holidays will never be the same but you will always and forever be a treasured part of every family get together.
I love you, Mom

Hi Brien,
Your Mom and I had such a good talk the other day. She is an amazing person and just oozes with love for you. She is an example of how we should all be about our children. Sherri and I felt a lot of goose bumps when we were talking about you. We know you were there listening!! Keep whispering in her ear. She hears you and it comforts her heart.

Hey Brien....I've been thinking about you a lot lately. You're actually pretty much the only thing on my mind these days. I don't know why, but that's just how it is, I guess. I miss you so much. Pretty much every day, something happens and I wish I could call you and either tell you about it or ask you a question about it. Your knowledge comes in handy sooo much! I love you, Bri. Hope to see you in my dreams.

I have this urge to call you and talk to you, and tomorrow to call and say "Happy Birthday" but I know that if I dialed your number, no one would answer (unless Sprint already gave it to someone else, the stupid company..haha).

Hey Bri, its your favoritest sister in the whole world. I don't really know what to say. I miss you so much and I just want to pick up the phone and call you and hear your voice and just talk about something stupid like how the X-Files sucked after David Duchovny left or argue over who's gonna get Mom's 'Stang one day, because I know that that would provide me with so much comfort right now. I never told you this, but out of every memory that I have from my childhood, my happiest one comes from you. You took me to Lions Park one day, and I don't even remember playing with you, but I remember that you carried me home on your shoulders. I long to see the world from up there again. Just knowing that I can never call you and ask you a stupid question (and I know I've asked you many) like what it means when my phone says "extended network" on it, breaks my heart into a thousand pieces. I just don't know what to do, Bri. I remember how you called me when you lived in Shelton and asked me to come and take you to get something to eat. I drove all the way down there just to take you up the road. But ya know, I didn't mind because you're my brother and I knew that you wouldn't have asked me if you didn't love me and trust me. I remember how I'd be getting ready to go bed or would wake up in the middle of the night to get something to drink and you would come home and we would just talk about whatever from anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour. I cherish those nights. Thank you for always going to the airport with Mom when she would have to take me there...I know I always left early and you were always tired or had just gotten home from work, but it meant the world that you still came. I never got the chance to tell you this, Bri, but I am so proud of you. You were finally doing what you wanted to do and you were damn good at it. I can feel you with me and I thank you for that, because just feeling your presence helps. Say hi to Nicole for me. Now I have two guardian angels. You told me once that you would help me rebuild a late 60's Mustang...and when I do it, you better be there with me, guiding all the decisions I make on the car...it'll be for you, you know. I'll make it your dream 'Stang, I promise. And I also promise to continue to make you proud of me. I'll graduate college, go to Scripps and get my phD and never lose sight of my dream. You taught me that and your faith that I could do it if I wanted it has been a stronghold for me right now. And hey, I finally got Mom to listen to Ozzy and like it...I'm slowly getting her hooked on to 99.9. I don't know what else I could say, Bri, except that I love you and I miss you like crazy. But I know that you'll be with me every step I take from now on, pushing me to keep on going, and for that, I will be forever grateful. You are a wonderful brother and I hope that I'm a good little sister...sorry for all those times I annoyed you, but hey, I was just doing my job! I love you always and forever, and I'll see on the other side one day. ~Meg

Hey Brien:
I never met you, I'm just a friend of your mom's from high school. Knowing her, tells me that you were probably a pretty incredible person. Sometimes, I think the world is too small for great people and they are needed somewhere else. From what you mom has told me and from reading other's comments, it sounds like you are one of those people. I join with others to wish you peace. Watch over your mom and when she really needs to smile, be the gentle wind that curls around her. When she cries, the bittersweet tear. When she feels alone, be the light that reveals your shadow standing next to her. She will need these to heal. Take good care guy!

Dear Brien,
I remember seeing you a few times when you'd come into the office where your mother Sherri and I worked. You were such a good looking boy and always polite and friendly to everyone. I also remember the love your Mom had for you and the way she would share stories about her first born son and the joy you gave her as a new mother. I remember her devotion in taking care of you when you were in the hospital a few years ago and how much she wanted to be by your side day and night in case you needed her. She hurt when you hurt and she cried when you cried. Jesus said that God's love is like a mothers love. Unconditional. You had that in your mother. Please watch after her and whisper in her ear from time to time. She'll know it 's you.

Brien,
I've been trying hard to find something profound to say. Something real special, about someone who has been so special, in so many peoples lives. All I can do is speak from the heart. I pray that God has you wrapped tightly in his arms right now where you feel contentment and peace, as a baby would feel, wrapped in the loving arms of their mother. I believe that those who pass on before us, are the guardian angels who continue to watch over, those they leave behind. May your soft voice be the whisper in someones ear. May the thought of your charming smile help brighten someones gloomy day. May the lives you have touched continue to feel your love, where right now there is sorrow and pain. To Sherri, Bob, Megan, Josh, and the rest of the family, I love you all, and I'm here for you.

Brain- You are the first person that I picture when I think of coming back to Oly. I think of walking into the 4th Ave. and you're the first face that I see. I would walk through those doors and expect one of your awesome bear hugs. You were the kind of person that was tough on the outside, and I pushed my way into your heart. I tried hard to get under your skin. I will never forget the night that you, Kyle,K.T, Angela, and I went out to Charlie's. You were our guardian that night. You had so much fun that Angie and I carried you into the 4th Ave and then we had a blast at KT's. That was such a fun night. I will miss watching Family Guy and Futurama in the bar with you, and I will truly miss our heart-to-hearts. And to think, I was so excited to see you and Kyle in April, that I was in denial. I miss you already and I can't wait to see you in heaven. I love You Brain!

My Dear Sweet Grandson- My heart aches, comforted only by my memories of you and the knowledge that you are resting in the arms of Jesus. I remember babysitting you as an infant and what fun we had playing on the floor when you were a toddler. Your eyes sparkled and your smile made the sun shine. I remember that you called me your #1 Grandma. I remember the first time I came to visit you in Washington and how you and your little friend Brenda would fight over me and you woud say "NO, she's my grandma!" I remember our first trip to the ocean. I still picture you running along the beach. I'm especially grateful for the time we spent together when you visited me in Baltimore a few years ago. I remember our shopping excursions and how you never went to bed without saying "Goodnight Grandma I love you." I remember that you called me not too long ago just to say you were thinking about me and to tell me you loved me. You were a priceless treasure never to be forgotten. Til I see you again in Heaven....Goodnight Brien, I Love You.

My heart aches. Nothing will ever be the same. I ask "why?". I hear no answers. What am I going to do without you? I shared with you many times that after you were born I told my Mom that I couldn't have anymore children because I loved you so much that I didn't think I could possibly love anyone else that much and it just wouldn't be fair.Of course I found I had plenty of love for each of you.Brien, watching you grow up taught me that time moves many ways at once, fast and slow, forward and backward, bitter and sweet. It seems as if in the blink of an eye you were grown into manhood with a life completely your own. What a mystery it is! And what gratitude I feel for the priviledge of watching you grow, helping when I could and simply being a part of your life .My dear, beautiful boy I`ll Love you always and forever,

I will never forget you. You were always there for me when I needed you and my life would never be the same if you were not a part of it. You helped me believe in myself and not compromise myself for others. You gave me a shoulder to cry on and a warm laugh to cheer me up. Our relationship was more to me than just friends you were like family to me and my brother, also my mom and dad. We helped you out in a difficult time in your life, but your words and support helped me more than you will ever know. You are a true friend who never asks for anything in return, truly selfless. You always had a story to tell me, never a dull moment. You will always remain alive in my heart, everyday!! Take care of Fruda for me. I will expect to see you as soon as I leave this earth. For now I know that the two of you are watching out for my every move.

I can't believe I'm having to write something like this. I remember when you were in middle school, I tried so hard to be like you. I'd follow you around, I even started smoking to be like you. As we got older we didn't really talk too much, but when we did we always had a good time. You taught me how to play some songs on the guitar. When I bought my Regal, you showed me how to install car stereos. I remember going out to Shelton to pick you up so we could go out for a few hours together. Then there was the time that I stayed with you for a night. We stayed up all night playing PS2 together. When I got out of Maple Lane you helped me get a job where you worked. We might not have talked much and did some stuff the other one didn't like, but when it came down to it we were still brothers. I love you. And even though you never said it, I'm sure you love me too. You will be missed and loved for all eternity. I love you Brien.

All the memories I have of you will always be close to my heart. I remember when we would watch T.V. together and you would give me the remote and tell me to find a movie to watch. And when we would go have a ciggarette and you'd talk to me about cars and I'd smile and nod like I really did have a clue as to what you were talking about, I didn't, but I think you knew that. I also will never forget the time Charlotte took her first step because it was toward you. You are very special to her and I promise I will never let her forget you, you will always be her Uncle Bri-Bri. There will always be a special spot in my heart for you. I don't want to end this with goodbye, because its not goodbye, its until we meet again. We love you Brien.

Brien,
Memories are something that we will always have forever. Some memories are good and some not so good. I'll always cherish the memories we shared together. I rember watching you grow up and become your own person. You will always be a unique person in the way you wanted to be. We didn't always see eye to eye on everything but you made decisions that you wanted to make and I will always respect that. I wish we could have spent more time together in the last few years. I always liked the time we talked on the phone. I feel like I knew you more and more each time. We talked about you coming out to Colorado to visit. I think you would have liked it. Of course we don't have what you had in Olympia but you probably would have liked the quietness for awhile anyway. I'll miss the phone calls but I know I can talk to you anytime now. The memories we shared are what I will always have forever. I'll always think of you as the person that you made of yourself and the life you made for yourself. You brought joy to so many people in your own way.
Love Always and Forever,

We only knew you for a short time, but in that time you became close to us, and we to you. You were a special part of Amanda's life, and with that, a special part of our lives. Our most heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family and all of your friends. We were very lucky to have known you, and to have your smile and laughter light up our visits together. We will always love you and will never forget you. You will be greatly missed

I remember the good times- bowling, disc golf, crawdad hunting, winning pull-tabs and crashing on my couch. Brien always did whatever you asked him to do and would take care of anything for anyone. There was never a question about his loyalty or love, he was always available to talk, meet or hang out. I did alot for him and he did alot for me. I will miss everything- the smell of his after shave, running into his chest behind the bar, pushing him out of the way(he like wise) and having him draw me a beer. I know that I am a better person because of him. Thank you Brain. Thanks to all for your support and love, especially his family -I wish I knew you all better. See you in time bro.

There are so many things i wish i could say to brien.So many unanswered questions, but I do know that he loved me and I loved him.More than anything else I will miss Brien's hugs.He gave the best hugs and he would kiss the top of my head and say "luv ya!".From the moment we met he was always helping me at work and we went everywhere together.I miss Brain so much. sometimes he was like a big kid.We both had this weird obsession with peter pan and neverland and we talked about it alot.im not very religious so i guess that maybe Brain is somewhere like that.and he is not ever going to be old. And he is not sad, or stressed, or hurting. I love brien so much.He was my best friend in the whole world and i am very lucky to have had so much time with him.I will not forget, I just look forward to seeing him again and get one of his great hugs and a kiss.Brien, I love you forever.

We will miss your daily visits with us. We still look out the front windows and see you scuffing down the sidewalk, hands in pocket. You did a great job for the tavern. You are missed, Brien.
May the road rise up to
meet you
May the wind be always
at your back
May the sun shine warm
upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon
your feilds,
And until we meet
again,
May God hold you in
the palm of his hand.
Take care Friend.
