So sorry to hear this last bit of sad news.
Thoughts and prayers still coming from Iowa for Thelma and family, Rhonda and Craig with Noah.
God does strange things, that we can not figure out at the time. But it makes the ones left behind a better person(s) in later life.
My youngest daughter, 33 now, lost 3 of her grand parents in 14 months in 1991 & 92. It has made her a very strong girl in the process.
Rhonda, anything ya need or if Noah needs, let me know I'll assist ya'll to my best ability.
Love ya both.
RJ.

My life is better for knowing Brian and for knowing Noah, Rhonda and Thelma. I sure wish there was something I could say or do to make your lives better at this time. I just don't have anything.  I do know as do all of you that God does and will always love us all. |

After much thought, prayer and talking to the doctor's Thelma and Zach have decided to let Brian go. They want family and friends to have time to see him and proably on thursday they will take him off the feeding tube and just keep him comfortable. I will post as I know anything else but today I didn't go to the hospital, Zach called me and ask me to make some phone calls and I just felt they needed to be alone for awhile. I will be going tomorrow then will go back when Noah gets out of school.

I just can’t believe this has happened. I have so much appreciated Brian sharing his love of music, riding and life with us over the years. My prayers to Brian, his family and his friends. A miracle can always happen and I’ll keep praying that it does. There are a thousand things I want to say and nothing more I know how to say. |

Thelma, Rhonda, and Noah I am continuing to pray for Brian and your families. Though we sometimes don't understand God's timing, I do believe that he has a purpose for each of us and a reason for each trial. I pray that the Lord will comfort you all and give you peace and that his will be done.
I have admired Brian for the kind of person and man that he is and the example that he has set for all of us to strive for. I had the privilidge of meeting him at InZane IX, along with each of you as well. It was a highlight of my first InZane. Prayer continuing for you all during this trying time.

Rhonda, Thelma, Noah, I am so sorry to hear. Brian, I just can't believe, can't seem to grasp it. It just seems so wrong. |

I absolutely hate hearing about things like this happening to one of us. Never met the man but from what I read of his posts, his sharing of the music he loves I'm sure he is every bit the great guy that ALL the Valkyrie people I've met have been. It is with a heavy heart that I continue to pray for a miracle AND strength for the family. |

Thanks Rhonda; I am very sorry to read this news. I was hoping for a very different outcome for Bryan and his family. That BSNicely is one fine example of a man and someone to be admired. I will continue to pray for Brian, Thelma and family and for you all as you deal with the tough days ahead.

No words will fix how we feel. Noah I was glad to have met you in Missouri with Brian when we finally got to drop off the trailer. I know your dad is waiting on Brian! I hope you can continue taking care of your mom and help Thelma. I am so sorry for your loss of another loved one. I try and picture what color Valkyries those two are going to be riding around on! The band plays on.
Take care
