Today is the last day we can write on this book for you. Thank you for the penny you left for me the other day. We all love and miss you so very much. Some days are easier than others. The day you left forever changed our lives, but I know you were only on loan to us from our Loving Father. One day we will all meet up again when the time is right. Til then we will keep you forever in our hearts. Love and Kisses. Always Mom

My Dearest Little Brother, I dreamed of you last night & it was so very real. I am grateful for your visit, but I didn't want to wake up & face the fact that you're not here. Some days I cry & some days I laugh remembering my time with you. Life will never be the same without you. I Love You! I'll see you soon but not too soon.

Bridget, Jeanna and I spent an early Mothers Day at your site on Sat. I thought it would be nice so they could spend the day with their children. It was so so windy. We went to Don Cucos' in Acton for an early dinner after. Jeanna had a quilt made for me from some of the clothing you used to wear. It is really beautiful and such an awesome and loving gift. Thanks for the penny you left at my feet as I exited the care. Love you always Mom

I Love & Miss You! More Than My Heart Can Take!

We celebrated Jeremys' passing on Saturday. Krystalyn did a good job standing in for you I know how very difficult it was for her. Sunday Bridget, Jeanna, Tom and I watched Roberts' little league "Quakes" play ball. We all remembered you both as we watched. We love and miss you always. Mom

Today is now 7 months since you have been gone. I'd like to say it has gotten better but it really has not. Spent about an hour visiting with you an Jeremy. Was glad to have some time with Jeanna as well. Krystalyn made Thanksgiving special but there was a big void. Did my best not to cry but I did anyway. Kisses Mom

Today we will be celebrating Zoeys' 3rd birthday. I know you will be looking down from your heavenly home to oversee the event with the pride only a loving Papa like you can give. I will make sure she sends you kisses.

Yesterday was your 45th birthday. We all came to visit and share your special but short life. There was some laughter and yes tears. Knowing we will meet up again brings solace but each day is a unique journey. Love Mom

My prayers and sympathy to the family. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Today is a day of remembrance to all who have served & continue to serve our Country. I think of you today not only as My Little Brother, but of the man who Served our Country Proudly. I Love & Miss You more than words can express!

:Brian,

Brian you will never be forgotten and your memory will burn on forever in our hearts. I know your with Jeremy the light of your life now. RIP! Love the Pike Family

I was lucky to have known him for 30 years and even tho we hadnt spoken in ages, I was so very happy when he had come over to BBQ. I was also very blessed to have met his beautiful wife Jeanna. The man he turned out to be was WOW....He was one of the kindest, gentle and caring person that fortunatIy I got to see. My heart aches for you all and my love and warmest thoughts are with you.  Always, Debbie Gordon

May God bring you peace, at this sad time.

My heart aches at the passing of Brian, but there is comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering & will be resting in paradise. My prayers are with you.

We will always have memories of him smiling and laughing. That is what we will always think about. He was such a good person and had to deal with so many bad things in his short life. Thoughts and prayers go out to all the family.
