The Brother (Brian 1971-2011)

I have dedicated this page of my Blog to my Big Brother, 

Brian R. Ricker.  

He was taken from those of us left on earth way too early at the age of 40 on April 8, 2011.  We miss him, and we love him, and we will honor his memory.

One Year Later

I will continue to blog, as I continue to mourn and heal.  I just know that these important posts are going to fall off the homepage, then fall off the detailed archive as time goes on, and I want them to be in a place where they are easily accessed.

 

Thanks for reading, and remembering.  Brian was a great guy, and he deserved so much more...
