We all come to earth for our lifetime, and for some it's not many years. I don't want you to keep crying, you are shedding too many tears. I haven't really left you, even though it may seem so. I've just gone to my heavenly home, and I'm closer than you know. Just believe that when you say my name, I'm standing next to you. I know you long to see me, but there is nothing I can do. But I will still send you messages, and hope you understand. And when it's your time to "cross over" I'll be here to take your hand. There will be a celebration of life for Brian on January 6th from 5pm-8pm. It will be held at Bertoli Reception Hall 151 West 400 North Orem, Utah 84057.
