Can not make it to the memorial services from North Carolina, but let God comfort you at this time, my prayers will be with you and Maria and the family. You can remember Brian saved the young lady&#039;s life, He is a HERO.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please know my prayers and thoughts have been and are with the family.
