My dear Bry, you have left your girls totally heart broken. Please look after them with any power you have, and wrap your loving arms around your Honey Muffin, Honey Bunny, and Honey Bug.

I remember the first time we hooked up in Seattle and road the monorail to go to a cigar bar at a posh hotel. It was raining so hard we were drowned rats when we entered but you didn’t care what anyone thought of us being wet and dressed in our tie dye. Glad you found peace at my house wish you could have come more often. Thanks for the Neil Diamond concert it was great. Gonna miss you my friend the world has lost a good one to the other side Until we meet again Bryan. Laurie you know my thoughts and feelings for you and family, hang in there sis. 🤗😘
