As the time passes, I'm starting to realize it gets harder, not easier. I miss you, everyone misses you. Not a day goes by where you don't cross my mind. I wonder what it would be like if you were here to see us today. Well, I know you can see us, i just wonder what your reaction would be to seeing everyone so grown up. I love hearing stories about you, I hold back tears when i hear them but its okay. Just like I'm holding back tears writing this, i know ill be okay. I love and miss you, and these days aren't getting easier. Rest easy Uncle Bryan, you'll always be my angel, and my hero.

It's been 4 years and it still tear's me up. Everytime I see Cammy I look in her eyes and see you looking back at me it just rip's my heart out again and again. Amber keeps the little one on the go, and is a great Mom and friend to Cam. You were always my go between if Nikko had programs that he was in and school functions we could go see him and be proud. I remember we went when he was Baptised and at Kindergarden Graduation we took pictures and you were a proud Daddy, I guess he Graduated from High School and had a little party, I'm sure this is not true as someone would have asked us to the graduation anyway. Don't see much or hear much of him at all, I guess he is very busy. Still Miss and Love you very much, your Mom, Brother and Sister Really miss you as well as your Niece's and Nephew's. Love ya Dad

Really enjoyed that time we hung out there. I kept tryin' to teach you the Electric Slide but you just weren't getting it. Surprising, given how good a dancer you were. I've gotten to know more of your family since you've been gone. John and I got to know each other through softball. And Em and Brit hang out often. I hope this finds you in a better place. We all miss you.

I hope this goes through i have tried to sign this so many times. i will always miss and love you. Diane

Hi! My uncle Bryan was the best godfather i think anyone could have!!! he treated me like his daughter. when i was 5 and started taking gymnastics, i could never do a cartwheel, sooo.... he was 31 and got down and tried to do the best cartwheel he could do.. it looked like mine, horriable... but funny. I also used to take his hat off and then either put it on my head or put it on him sideways. and the one day he took was going to CoGo's or whatever that place is called by Hot Dog Shoppe, and i begged him to let me go with him and he let me sit in the front seat.... he told me not to tell nan or pap or my mom because he would get in trouble. i am so sure there is a bunch more memories, but those are my favorite ones. all in all i just really miss him, and he is really missing out on Cami growing up to be baby Bryan!!! ~ love your God daughter Britt-Britt~

Every day something reminds me of you, all day long. This trama has taken something out of me which after 43 years I have lost interest and I never thought I would, my Music. We Love you and your children no matter what the situation was and will always love them. I try to get Nikko involved in our life but have a lot of resistance, it's a shame because when we are gone and he wakes up and finds that we too loved him as much as his dad and any thing he may have heard from others is untrue. We see or talk to Cammy often she has your dancing ability. I can't change anything but if I could I would, We love you, miss you and think about you all the time, I not only lost a son but part of my life that hurts everyday. Love Dad

Me and my dad didnt always see eye to eye but i know he loved me and wanted the world for me. At the time i just couldnt see 10 feet in front of my face to realize this. I see boo occasionally and even though i dont show it, it tears me up. It brings back all the wonderfull members i have of him. I just wanted to let you know that i love you and think of you everyday. One day in the future i hope to be just like you, the best father in the world. Just remember that you will always be my father and my best friend. I love you with all my heart ,dad Nikko A.K.A Your lil slugger

Boo & I went to Cheris today for dinner. Still weird that you arent there. Although thinking about it, it might be more weird that this is the 2nd Thanksgiving with no - You. And no one to ask my mom or Cheri for the skin. Which, by the way, Cami thought was funny when my mom told her you always wanted the skin, and she asked me "Daddy ate the skin?"...haha.....Missing you today - as usual

The other day, Boo & I were at your graveside where we placed a "punkin" from her. She wrote "Hi Daddy", Love Boo on it. ...and we also put a ghost light thing in the ground there that says BOO on it. So there are your Halloween decorations for this Halloween. Wish you would be here with us to go trick or treating. We are going to Crescents parade & party today, and she has a party on school on Thursday. Wish you didnt have to miss out on so much. But we know you are above watching and loving & missing us. As we are here of you. Love, Amber & Boo

Today was Camryns 4th day of pre-school. All 4 days she cried as I left her there. And each time when I went back for her, her teacher, Mrs. Roberts, told me that it only lasted a minute. I wish you were here to take her to school. I wonder lots of things like would it be easier if you left her there, or whats your take on this. She is your daughter too and it makes me mad sometimes when you arent here to parent with me. Help me make decisions concerning her. But we are doing ok. We will see you again one day. And I know you are watching from above. So I guess that makes it ok. There still hasnt been a day that has gone by that I dont think about you. I know Cami is the same because just yesterday she told me "Daddy said I could ride my bike down there". Meaning down the hill when I told her no. hahaha So she hasnt forgotten. And I will do my best to never let that happen. We love you and missyou tremendously!! Love Amber & Boo

This time last year I was sitting at the Murphey Funeral Home with your family discussing your funeral. A whole year....a whole year has gone by. To this day there hasnt been a day that has gone by that I havent thought about you. I do at least a million times a day. What we would be doing if you were here, what you would say about Boo if you were here, would you have ever called her by her name if you were here, what would you look like now - just so much more. I miss you. Wow. Do I miss you. I wish I could turn back the clock to the 10th day of July, 2007, but I cant. So now all I can do is look to the next day and take care of our daughter. And thank you for not taking us with you. We love you to infinity and beyond.

This time last year you were here. And in one week, you will be gone. Amazes me. You had so much to live for. And so much more life to live. But you are gone. Its been nearly a year. Time doesnt heal all wounds, as mine seem to still be wide open. Missing you more each day. Camryn & I love you.

It's been almost a year and the hurt does not get easier. I pray we never have to go through a hurt this bad ever. So many people miss you that says something for your character what a good person you were. If I could have any wish in the world it would be for you to be here. I wish there was something I could have done to help prevent this. I know we will all see you soon but it does little to ease the pain. I know everyone misses you so much and loved you.

You would have been 36 years old today, old man. ha I wish you were here. For many reasons I think we all know. And for some cake & ice cream. I know Boo wishes you were here too - she'd really enjoy celebrating her daddys birthday. Someone called yesterday, (it was Jaime) and I asked her who it was. She said daddy. We both wished. Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you! Maybe my grandma Ike made you a cake. Love you! Amber

i was looking at Cam's page and decided to visit yours. I'm flying home to spend time with the family on saturday. you were always so nice to me and said the right things. such a caring person, i just wish you cared more about yourself because you were an awesome beautiful cousin. a good guy, and theres not many of them around these days! last time i came home Camryn came with us to the airport and we were singing together in my moms car. she looks sooooo much like you! i'm so proud of how amber and camryn are doing, i cant imagine how hard this is for them. but i know God has a purpose for everything. Camryn and Nikko are good kids and i'm gonna pray for them tonight. haha we watched a home video of you pretending to be a stripper, with your bath towel on! what a dufus lol. it was from when we all went on vacation together. good times.

I still think about you all the time especially on holidays a lot on easter I was looking for you to slice the ham like you always did . Everyone still misses you so much. It's like a bad dream and doesn't seem real sometimes. I know your watching from up there but I wish you could be here to see your kids grow. We will all see each other again someday. Always in our hearts Love you Diane

You arent here this Easter. Extremely hard? Yes. But ok cause Boo & I made it through another "first" holiday and most importantly, another day. Sure we missed you and wished you were here - just like any other day. Especially on Easter morning when I had to take pictures and video at the same time, could have used the hands! ha...There is a picture of you that I have. From last Easter. We took Boo & Nikko to get their Easter pictures. Anyways, you are on the couch playing with your new cell phone and Cam is in front of you posing for me to take a picture. I remember that day well. Many memories. Good times. Well, Happy Easter to you up there. We love you!!

this is really not a memory its more like thinking of you. wish you were here and see how big camryn is getting and telling you how much you have missed already. sometimes i sit and think to myself of how sad this is and then it turns into getting mad over it. asking why the hell you would do such a thing and then to miss out on your son and daughters life just upsets me. i want you to know that i wish things would have been a little diffrent when you were here. i really do miss you and think about you often hopefully we will all see you in heaven one day so its not goodbye its see you later.

Not a memory. Just some things you've missed here over the past couple of months since you've been gone. I mean, I know you are watching from heaven. But its not the same. Youve missed Trishas wedding, Camryns first real vacation, news like Trisha being pregnant (oh yea, they moved too) and news like Jason Kidd was traded from the your Nets. Ive been to 3 funerals since youve passed. Wonder if you met these people. Wish you could just send me an email or text to let me know how eternal life is and how you are doing. But enough of the wandering. All I should say now is that Boo & I love you deeply and talk about you often. Im sure you can see how she is turning out - Just like you!! Everything she does reminds me of you. Boy, you know that aggravates me sometimes! LOL....Kids are over there fighting, as usual. We miss you!

Wow.....I think this pic was taken in front of my old house....I heard about Bryans passing from my niece Larra....you probably don't even remember me. Bryan and I used to hang out when he was in high school. He was one of my best friends from my time living in P.A.
