To the Renfro Family,

When all of us kids were growing up as Navy brats and even as teenagers Brian made a lasting impression on all of us, the memories that I have of Brian have always been happy, and whenever I would think of Brian, I would always see his smile and hear his contagious laugh. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and all of his friends also.

Somewhere a ballerina doll with short pink hair has tears in her eyes, and so does the little girl that owned her. With my deepest heartfelt love and sympathy.
