Dearest Dawn and family,
This past winter I ran into you and Brian in the grocery store. We talked briefly and Brian said what great a caregiver you were, and that without you he could not remain home. I know what you are going through, as much as I loved Gary it was tough to see him that way. Dawna, as difficult is it was to care for him, you did the best you could to keep him home and comfortable for as long as possible. For that you were his hero. God Bless.
Sorry to hear about your loss of your husband and good friend that will for sure be remembered.The love and passion Brian had for his art work & music along with his deep voice is a memory that will stick with me till we meet again! Dawna we are here for you when ever you are in need or just need someone too talk to! I know so well that this loss will be hard on you and may God bless you with the strength to get through your day! (Love you SHORTY B)
Sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers to you and family.
My condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. Losing someone you love is truly difficult and I know Brian will be missed. Please know our heavenly Father holds out promises that can help us with our sorrow. One such promise is that death soon will be done away with forever (Revelation 21:4) and another promise is that “there is going to be a resurrection.” (Acts 24:15) I pray these promises from God, who cannot lie, (Titus 1:2) bring you comfort
I love you brother… Give heven hell!
Sorry for your loss my prayers to your family.
So sorry for your loss Dawna and family!!!

DAWNA AND FAMILY, SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. GOD BLESS
Dawna and Girls. I am sorry to hear of Brians passing. I know so well losing your spouse to disease or illness is devastating. Though we think we are prepared for the loss, we are not. So often said time heals and you move on does not always hold true. Time may fade the loss but daily reminders are there. We are thankful and relieved there is no more pain or suffering for our partner yet coping with the void of them is difficult for us. I know Dawna, you were an amazing caretaker of Brian, and you went through so much yourself during his condition. Please remember I am always just a phone call away for you. Norma
Dawna and Family,
So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do please feel free to contact me.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family of Brian and Dawna, remember the good times and the days ahead will gradually get better. Love you Dawna,
Rick and Birdie and families
Dawna,
We are both so very sorry to hear of your husbands passing. We love you hon. If you need anything we are just a call away.
To all of Brian family my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss. After I heard the news, I sat and remembered the times with Dawna and Brian and I sat and giggled as I recalled the memories. Brian had a way of bringing joy to the people around him. I love you guys and we all will miss him terribly. Sending lots of love your way.
Dawna and family,
May it help to know that thoughts and sincere sympathy are with you at this difficult time. So sorry for your loss.
Dawna and Family
