Hey buddy, went by and hung out with you the other day, it was strange because not once did I feel sad or cry, but that was comforting bc I know you had something to do with that. I will say I had this feeling I should have brought a boom box, beads, and some beers. Since you requested, I will next time but no silly costumes for me. Anyways I was at the rock coaching track the other day - (laugh it up) and I had on a BMA shirt. It was so cool bc about half the kids had heard about you and all that your parents are doing (with a little help from our old crew) to not only help kids at Rockhurst but everywhere while keeping your memory as bright as ever. I love you bud - Matt Mccullough, Kansas City, MO

It is time for your birthday again and you are 33 years old. So hard to believe. Carmella and Izzy are getting old and fat like me. Just think Carmella will be 8 years old in April but still doing fine. Moorisia is going to be 18 years old and is there every morning to greet me. Brian please keep praying for all of us until we get to see you again. I still talk to you every day and ask for you guidance and prayers. You know how much I miss you and your love. It is not how much we love but how much we were loved that we miss. I do miss you. Love Bob - bob reese, lindsborg, Kansas

Happy Birthday Brian. Hard to believe this is your 32 birthday. Carmella and Izzy are doing fine and getting older like me. There is a new dog here whose name is Eddie and he has been excepted by the two ladies. The turkeys are starting to lay and the farm is holding on. I sure do miss your words, help, friendship and all that you use to do to keep me out of trouble. When I told dad that it was your Birthday today he just gets silent and say nothing. I know it still hurt him that you are gone. Dad will be 90 this year and sure would be fun to have you help plan his party. You were so good to him Brian. I hope and pray that you are remembering me in your prayers from heaven. I sure need them and I know some day I will see you again. Love Bob - Bob reese, lindsborg, kansas

Brian my best friend. Izzy, Carmella and I wish you a Happy 31st birthday. You have no idea how much we wish you where here. Just to hear your laughter and Izzy wants some of your brithday cake and ice cream. Your dogs are doing good and I am trying my best to take good care of them. Carmella is as fat as ever and Izzy is the best farm dog I have ever had. Brian you where so right when you brought her home and I had my doubts. Your turkeys are doing good and I have already set over a 1000 eggs. Wish you where here to shot these damn coyotes. Remember when you where going to shot a coyote and I came around the fence line and the coyote say me and run before you could shoot? Man you got mad a me but you got the coyote on the run. I have been looking for the coyote caller we bought. Do you know where it is? Please let me know. I miss taking with you and having your help making decisions about the farm. Please pray for me and the work we where doing. Your friend forever. Bob - Frank Reese, LINDSBORG, KS
