This is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. This breaks my heart. You were one of my god parent Uncle Brian, I am going to miss you so much. I would do anything to be there right now to say my goodbyes to you. You were a big part of my life. When I was sad or upset about something, or just wanted to talk, I could always phone you and talk to you, aunty Marion. You would always tell me, I could come home anytime, and that my bedroom would be there waiting for me. I missed talking to you after you moved to the retirement home. Wish I could have talked to you more. Was so glad I got to FaceTime you Christmas time, even if it was just for a short time. The last time I was home and saw you, if only I knew it was going to be my last time to hug you and to cry on your shoulder when I had to say goodbye, you said you had not had any one cry on your shoulder for a long time. I will cherish all the memories that I had with you. The walks on the beach, the lunches we had when Aunty Marion was busy and all the shopping we did. Was hoping to be able to come home and see you before you passed away but I guess god had plan for you. He always takes the good ones early, you were one of them. I love you and will miss you. Until we meet again Uncle Brian. Love your goddaughter Carolyn.
