It was an honor for me to know Brian. Brian's spirit never died. Today I am missing him and the day I went to Brian's home to see how Sharron was managing, she told me Brian had passed away. I was sad that I hadn't arrived to offer some help sooner. Sharron invited my husband Ken and I in and as we sat visiting in their home Sharon told me that Brian had something for me that he wanted me to have. It was a copy of the art work "A Wolfe" I treasured that drawing but something happened to it and I really want to own a copy of that wolfe. It is a priceless piece of art. - Posted by: Rose Edgington (friend from Riverview Palliative care Nurse) on: Jun 10, 2015
