"Brian and Dan, the ultimate journey which awaits us all is made fruitful in this life by the legacy which we leave. In this case, and since I never had the pleasure of your Mom's company, I can only imagine the fine woman she was since I've had the pleasure of knowing both her fine sons.. This is her legacy. No finer tribute can I imagine. Prayers and thoughts are directed to you and your families. Best, Bob Baird"

"Brian, Dan
I remember one of my first trips at the airline after my recall, your dad brought us over to their home on a FLL layover. Met your mom there and still remember the visit. I am sorry for your loss and my condolences to you and your family. Al Berlinberg"
