Melissa, words can’t describe what I’m feeling right now. My heart is burdened for you and your entire family. I loved Brian too as a friend and I’m heart sick that I’ll never be able to reach out to him again for our talks. He was always good to me and he truly loved you and Skylar. Remember him at his best and Thank Jesus that he answered His call for Salvation. Praise You Lord. He is Faithful. I am glad to have known him. See you soon brian.
