Many remember Brian, many still grieve his loss. Although passing time makes it somewhat easier because our memories grow full. But there is wonderful news concerning Brian. He has a guarantee of resurrection from God himself. In the Bible, the book of John, it states that all those in memorial tombs and graves will come out to life again here with us. Under Gods kingdom rule this will take place for Brian. Like Lazarus, only better, Brian will enjoy life as never before. There will be no more sickness, pain, sorrow and death these will be done away with forever. What a good day it will be to see him again.

Brian is missed by all his friends and family. I wish to offer this comfort to all from Gods word the Bible. Brian is asleep like Jairuss daughter in Luke 8:52. Jesus woke her up, back to life with her loved ones! He did the same for Lazarus, he will do the same for Brian. Jesus declared that all those in the memorial tombs will come out to life with us again on a paradise earth ( Psalm 37:9,29). John 5:28,29 states this fact. So we will have a wonderful future together under the Kingdom rule we pray for in the Lords Prayer.
