I am so sorry for your loss Brendan was a loving and caring person who loved life at it’s fullest. He really liked to sit and talk sports politics. But most of all he liked to have a little something to eat . And a assortment of fresh desert to pick from. You will be surely missed
Priscilla….sincere sympathy…it has been a long time but you and Brendan are in my thoughts.
