Brian, there is so much I want to say but how do I put into words how much I will miss you and how much I adored the friendship we had. I will miss how you gave me crap. The way you would be down the aisle and shout my name "PEN!", I knew I was gonna get it. I would walk down to you and you would cock your head to the side and vent. You would tell me what was bothering you (at length), quite often telling me that you're "not impressed". And when you would finish I would say, "how ya doing, Brian?". And we would smile and laugh and you would grab my arm and say, "How ya doin', young lady?" I will miss hearing you call me "young lady". I will miss swapping stories that start with "you won't believe the customer I just had". I will miss hearing the happiness in your voice when you would tell me about the wonderful interaction you had with someone. Brian, you have been a very good friend to me. Every holiday,Mothers Day, Easter, Canada Day, whatever the occasion, you never missed sending me a text to wish me well. It always meant a lot. Like clockwork, I would get your text and it always made me feel so special that you would take the time. I will miss how you always looked out for me. "You look tired - Don't work so hard!" And I would say "You First!" My beast of a pack down machine! Brian,for more than 10 years, your friendship has meant so much to me and I can't thank you enough for the fond memories I have and will always cherish. Thank you for the wisdom you have shared with me, your patience, your kindness and all the laughs.
I love ya and miss you,
Penny
