Goodbye Brian

 Far Guy worked with Brian for years and years.   Brian died last month from Pancreatic Cancer.   His Memorial Service is today.  Brian was 64 years old. 


Everyone will be there...except Brian on the far right...and us.   It is too risky for Far Guy to go into a group setting...not only possible Covid exposure but everyone will be wearing after shave or perfume.   We don't need anything setting Far Guy back at this time. 

So we are staying home.  We are sad for his wife Jeanie and his sons Jason and Patrick.  Heck we are sad for us as Brian was a good friend. 

Far Side

Proverbs 16:9  The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Sixty four is way too young to go. It is sad that you can't attend but the wise thing to do. It doesn't mean you aren't there in spirit. God speed to your friend - he was well-loved.

it is sad to lose a friend. I hope you and Far Guy have lots of good memories about good times with Brian. Memories keep our loved ones close.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Pancreatic cancer is swift and ugly. My brother died from it, and my daughter's aunt has it with not long to live.
Staying home and safe is a good idea.

Gosh he was young. God Speed to your Brian!

Rita said...

So sorry to hear that. He was quite young, too.

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my great grandfather to pancreatic cancer - it's a hard one to beat.

My condolences on the loss. My thanks for his service he provided for our country.

Hard to lose a friend. I’m so sorry.

I am sorry for the loss of your friend. Pancreatic cancer is horrid - I have lost three relatives to it. It's hard to lose a friend at any age. I hope you are comforted by your memories of Brian. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

64 is so young and a tragic loss for his friends and family. I'm sure they understand why you can't be there. Be kind to yourself today.

Sorry for your loss. It's hard when someone you care for dies and you can't go to the funeral and say a final good-bye.

So sad and to young to die

Go Go Air force! IS that YOU in the picture? ( Front?) Far guy is easy to see, but were you in the air force? ( I should probably read previous posts to get the scoop, but that could take a long time.) Sorry to hear a friend is gone, but I'm sure he is where he wants to be... in the clouds and sunshine.

Bonnie said...

How sad. I'm sorry for your loss. Sending my best to you both and his family.

Good friends are treasures and true blessings.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Brian knows he is in your thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear that you lost your good friend, Brian. It makes sense though, why you're skipping the memorial service. I'm sure your friend is looking down and knowing that you both care about him very much. His life was a blessing for you and others and that's a real gift.

That's so young! I am sorry for your loss and his families. Pancreatic cancer moves fast....such a shame.

Sherry in MT - you can share your memories from afar and I am sure that your post will be appreciated by his family and friends and that they understand.
