My nephew, Brian, was an immensely talented, special creation himself. Although he and I never got to spend as much time together as we would have liked, I know that we were truly “connected” in spirit through our love for art and the natural world around us – especially the beautiful bird life. His creativity extended beyond the visual arts…he was innately talented with a guitar and musical composition without ever having studied such formally. He also sought knowledge and understanding of every aspect of humankind, especially from/about his own physical and spiritual being. In dealing with the medical issues that hit him at such a young age, his resolve to be an integral part of staying ahead of the advancing disease was relenting and he did so far beyond anyone’s expectations. He could converse on many subjects and would not hesitate to do so. I so enjoyed those times when we would talk for hours and I always went away from them with such a renewed appreciation for the marvelous young man that he was! Yes, I will miss him so and I will embrace our family’s memories of him and hold him close to my heart. My nephew, Brian, was, indeed, a very special one-of-a-kind!!

My BELOVED cousin who naturally felt like my brother to me in this world each time we were together will forever be ‘with me’. I KNOW in where he is now, I’m confident he’s not only reveling in his current state of being with his dear father and family and friends that were there to greet him, but also elated to finally get to have those enlightened conversations with his ‘IDOL’, Jesus Christ himself! AND, I’m sure Jesus is also just as happy to have him there now as well…I so enjoyed chatting it up with my cuz about this subject AND SO MANY OTHERS. One in particular, being his passion for the natural/clean food world. In sharing his passion with me wayyyy back when and how he was making adjustments to better his situation regarding his health at that time, he remains one of my TRUE INSPIRATIONS AND MOTIVATIONS in some very dark times personally to date (and always will). He DRIVES me to this day having shown me strength, LOVE, determination, and perseverance CAN AND WILL carry you a long way in this life no matter what your challenges and circumstances may be…I WILL TREASURE HIM ALWAYS. 🙂

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BRIAN and am so very thankful for my last memory with you here on this earth in our movie trip together. It MEANT THE WORLD TO ME and made ME SO HAPPY. It felt just like old times when we used to drive around listening to the classic rockings of RUSH and CARLOS SANTANA…surely you are at peace in the midst of the angels and the angelic music ‘WINNING’! What a beautiful spirit you were and are having such great taste in music, not to mention all your other ‘tastes’ and talents! Brian, I choose to keep you with me and around me for my time left here on this earth as YOU will continue to inspire, DRIVE, and motivate me even being in the next dimension’s’. I look forward to awesome times to come yet again someday….:)
