To Brian's family, My name is Amy. You do not know me, but our family lost a child about 15 months ago. It is a long hard journey that we are still trying to cope with. I just want you to know that our hearts go out to you filled with prayers of peace and comfort. It is awful, but each day gets a little bit better. Sometimes I feel like it is two steps forward, one step back. Stay strong, hold on to each other and be patient. While this doesn't make it a lot easier, it does make it somewhat easier. Be kind to yourselves. (I read the obit in Sunday's paper)
