Bry,
I'm sorry you had to leave your family, your friends and your wonderful life you built just a few miles away. You were really loved by your friends and you gave back so much! To so many people.

We created so many great memories a long time ago, but it just seems like yesterday. You'll always have a special place in my memories of Rider & Phi Psi.

You made me laugh a lot and now I shed tears for you! Thanks.......

If you leave here tomorrow,
We will still remember you.

There's too many places you've got to be.
