Dear Susan, Mike, Matthew and Shaun, Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your Father and Grandfather. Janet, Matt and I have fond memories of being at your wedding and being "hosted" by Brian in his friendly outgoing way. He certainly knew how to make people feel comfortable and at ease. We will always remember his fine home-made red wine and his great sense of humour. May God comfort and bless you in your time of sorrow, and remember God's promise: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" Psalm 147:3 Love, Ron, Janet and Matt - Posted by: Ron Eisbrenner (Friend) on: Apr 03, 2007
