Dear cross family, I was so sad to learn of the passing of your beloved Brian. .The loss of a loved one is never easy. But the Bible has so much comfort for us. An especialley encouraging scripture is Revelation 21:4. Here Jehovah God promises that soon death will be no more along with the suffering it causes. I know your family is hurting but I hope you find some comfort from this wonderful promise. For more information please go to website jw.org. Sincerely, Melinda

I am praying for the family. Brian was my cousin, it breaks my heart to say that I have not seen him since I was a little girl. It has been decades. At least 40 years. He was a year older than me. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and of had the opportunity to of spent time with him. Had memories of my cousin. All I can say is my heart breaks for the family. My thoughts are with you Aunt Mary Jane and Uncle Edson and to the rest of the family. I am praying that the Lord brings you all comfort and peace during this time. Love you all. God bless!

So sorry to hear of Brian's passing. He was a close friend when we went through the Nashua public school system together from Grade 1 to 12. We also worked the same night job together during part of high school. He was a fantastic friend when I lived in Nashua. My sincerest thoughts are with his family. He touched many lives with his incredible gift of making music.

Brian was a great inspiration to me. His talent and accuracy on the piano was breathtaking. He was one of my closest and oldest friends, and I will miss him dearly!
