Brian is not Forgotten!

My cousin Brian Ferree sadly pasted away in 2005 after a badly with Cancer. At the young age of 30; Brian had accomplished so much. From this picture of Brian with our Grandma you can see his cheerful smile which he carried with him throughout his life.

I remember calling down to the hospital and speaking to Brian during the final stages of his battle, and I asked him how he was doing? He was a strong individual and this was no different, he said to me; "I am doing good and am working to go home in a few days". I told Brian my brother and I would be driving down to see him and he said; "no need, I will be out of here soon and we can see each other when I get home". Brian was a person to think of others before himself, and he didn't want us driving the 2 hour trip to the hospital. Well sadly things made a turn for the worse and we received the call things were bad. My brother and I drove to see Brian, and although he was not able to talk to us as he was in a deep sleep, I know he knew we were there. Funerals are not something anyone enjoys, but I can say when I was there paying my respects along with my family; I realized Brian had touched so many lives in his time with us.

There are so many memories I have of when I was younger and we would go visit for the summer. He truly will be remembered for all his wonderful acts. With the passing of Brian and then my Brother I learn every day how we need to enjoy the time we have with the ones we love.
