To you all. Words can't express our feelings at present. Sometimes it is just not fair to lose someone at Brian's age. We loved all his walking posts on Facebook and laterly the wonderful photos he has taken. He kept us in touch during all your 'oopsies' Neil and we did appreciate that. After such a short illness, he is now at peace. We all have fond memories of a special nephew and cousin, especially the growing up years at Grandma and Grandad's place.at Christmas time - Maurice, Gay, Ross, Paul and Grant.
