Journal entry by Lenore Kaibel —

Sunday the 13th marked three years since Brian left us too soon. 

My name is Lenore Gustafson now, but I will always treasure my memories of this wonderful man and be glad I got to share in the “good run” that was his fully lived life. 

Things to do when Brian hits our memories: Smile.  Support causes you believe in with your time and resources. Enjoy the beauty of nature, because he surely did. Spend time with your animals, Brian loved them. 

Thank you friends, loved ones. You are appreciated.
