RIP Cousin Brian
My heartfelt condolences to you all. I will always remember my cousin Janice and Wade bringing their baby to Temple to introduce Brian to his us. They drive up and got out of the car, carrying this plastic infa seat. I was almost 10 and was so excited to be meeting our little baby cousin. He was not little, he filled up the infant carrier and looked about 6 months old. I remember saying “but we wanted a baby”. Lol. I swear he was smiling at 4 weeks old! He was nicknamed Beep. My sister and I loved him so much especially loved going to stay with Janice and Wade and pretending he was our baby. Beep never slowed down … he grew and grew and was one heck of a great guy! Rest easy Beep! That is if Granny Boehme isn’t serving you coffee cake in Heaven or you guys aren’t fishing or playing cards. Say hello to everyone for us, we will see you all again when it’s our time to go to Heaven.
We are so sorry for your loss. He is at peace now and in the lords hands. ???????????????????????????????? For you and Jared. We shared so many fun times together over the years. He will be missed dearly and that great smile.

Cherita & Jared,
We are so sorry for your loss! Please know we will keep you all in our prayers & thoughts!! May family & friends give you the strength & love to help you all during this difficult time!!
Sorry for your loss. God Bless You All.
My sincere condolences all the way from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Cherita, Chistine and Nathan McGrew, Sue Rainey and all other family members. It saddens me that Bryan has gone on to join other family that have passed, for he was still so young. The video made me quite emotional as I so loved the Welch family. Was so good to see everyone, especially mama and papa Welch….they treated me so special. Thank you for including a picture with me and my grandson, Kenneth, my daughter, Norma and my granddaughter, Celina. May God bless the family at this difficult time.
I would like to offer my condolences to the family. Recently I lost my mom to death so I can sympathize with your loss. I would like to share with all of you 2 bible scriptures that comforted me during my grieving time. Please take a moment to read John 5:28,29 & Psalms 37:11,29. I hope these scriptures bring you some comfort during this painful time.
Sincerely,
Ellie
So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you. The children of Hellen Barnard Cole

We are with you in spirit ‘tho unable to be there physically! Lots of happy memories of Buddy and Evelyn’s “Beep!” Know there were lots of folks greeting him as he arrived in Heaven and we look forward to joining the group when our time comes. Pray that our Lord will hold you in His loving arms and give you comfort during this very difficult time.
Cherita and Jared, my sincere condolences to you both. May God give you comfort and peace.
I met you some years ago. Larry Bolton is my brother in law and I know he and Brain were good friends.
God bless you all
Many thoughts and prayers to Brian’s family. He was a childhood friend whom we lived next door to at a time when kids played kickball and kick the can until the streetlight came on so have many fond memories of Brian and that huge always present smile. He was always kind and fun-loving. RIP friend.
