My deepest sympathy to Helen, Brien and his wife, Cristina and all family members. I had briefly know his wife Helen and his son Brien and wife Cristina.I Can say, he had a beautiful wife that God allowed him to live long enough to be well enough to enjoy their seventh anniversary and his 95th birthday. May God bless them and hold them close during this stressful time. Also Lord, bless Brien and Cristina for honoring his parents and giving them all the love and care that their parents needed through these last years.
