\u2013I was in a meeting today and received word of Brian\u2019s passing during a heated moment (ok extremely contentious better describes the real moment)\u2026.i received a text message from shannon, my sister, that relayed the message of brian\u2019s passing\u2026..it brought a smile to my face b\/c i knew he was in better place\u2026\u2026i\u2019d like to believe that Brian had something do with what happened next\u2026\u2026i was provided a moment during this meeting to be questioned b\/c i broke my composure as i was caught smiling (it was definitely out of place)\u2026 when i responded with \u2018i just got word that one of my best friends passed away\u2019\u2026..it immediately changed the tenor of the meeting \u2026..one gal then said, \u2018but you are smiling\u2019\u2026.to this i responded, \u2018Yes, but it\u2019s moments like this that i am reassured that families can be together forever and no worldly concept can ever destroy that reality\u2019\u2026.the remainder of the discussion isn\u2019t that important, but needless to say an opportunity to share a brief direct witness to this handful of jersey shore types was what kept me from losing my composure further\u2026.thanks brian, for the missionary moment old friend\u2026.. \u2014<\/p>\n
