We are so very sorry for your sudden loss.
Thinking of you.
From: Thera Sandstrom
Relation: Brian is my cousin
Many of my fondest memories, from when I was growing up, are the ones where I had traveled to BC, with my family, to visit with my extended family. Whether it be going down the Alpine Slide and picking huckleberries in Kimberley, exploring the beach, going salmon fishing, and heading to a blackberry bramble for a snack when the parents said they wouldn’t give us one when we gathered at the campsite in Qualicum, these are all memories that I have of spending time with my cousins. As we grew older and life’s responsibilities meant that we got to see less of each other, it made me cherish our sporadic family visits all the more.
It pains me that I am unable to attend my cousin (Brian’s) memorial but please know that he holds predominant spot in my thoughts and I want to send out all my love to my family and friends.
Brian, you will forever be with us in our fond memories of you.

And when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon
But I’ll be seeing you “
