This page has been decorated in loving memory of my little brother Kenny Brisby. Kenny was a typical kid.The cars, played baseball, collected baseball cards and traded them for better players, he liked to ride his bike off ramps he and our cousin Jason would make ramps to see how high they could get off the ground and last but not least Saturday morning cartoons. As he got older he matured grew taller than anyone in the family and he was only 16. At 16 he has a job, a car and a girlfriend. He was always really responsible More than some teenagers his age. When He has some adventure in his face he would not back down. He would do .. whatever it was. Such as jump off a bridge for his wallet, do the bungee jump at the fair, He did more things than anyone in our family, things we would never think of doing. He arm wrestled, was the state champ. He loved to camp and hang out at bon fire with Tommy and their friends. He loved everything about this life. Kenny's smile was / is unforgettable,his charm captured you, his laugh stayed with you and you remembered it. Kenny was loved by so many because he was carefree, he loved life and he lived it. I believe deep inside my heart and soul Kenny did was he was supposed to do while he was here.He was/is a great son and that was from day one. He was my brother and protector when my dad couldn't be there. He was an excellent Uncle to Rosie, scolded her when it was needed. He was a DAMN GOOD FATHER, and he was the best friend any guy could ever ask for. We think of him everyday and we will treasure what he gave us while he was here, And that was and still is ..all of his love.
Thanks for all of our memories Briz

My Brother... My Angel...... Kenny Brisby
Wings Of The Angels
( by Tim Chambers )
A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.
Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother's sent.
On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother.

how ironic for me to find this picture..
Kenny loved his Bears and Tommy loved Eagles
I WISH FOR YOU EVERY NIGHT
I sit and listen
I sit and listen.
I think i hear your steps
Your sigh,
The feel of your touch
I sit and listen
And ache.
I sit and listen
To the overwhelming
Strength of reality.
I sit and listen....
Hoping
And just wondering
It could happen
I hear your steps
Hear you sigh
And feel your touch
I sit and listen
And wait

seems to be FOREVER in time.....
kenny and tommy went out to go duck hunting
they found a duck and shot it.
they tried to get it from the shore of the lake
but they couldnt reach the duck. So kenny went
out on a tree limb to get it and he fell in.
they went to tommys house to change and then
they went over to a family members house for
their canoe. they gave them 2 life jackets
and the canoe. they loaded it up and left.
that was the last time they were seen alive.
they went back the lake to get the duck, and the
canoe capsized and they fell in. the lady above the lake,
heard yelling for help. she then called 911.
by the time the police got there it was dark and you
could not see anything at the lakes shore. but the
next morning police and family members were
down at the lake searching for them.
the first day they started looking
they found the canoe,and 2 life jackets
the life jackets that probably would've
saved there lives and kennys cooler filled with soda.
1 and 2 weeks had gone by. and still nothing.
search teams and dog teams came. they had a hit on
one dog team, but turned out to be nothing. kennys birthday
came and gone (march 11)and then on the
18th(of march ) kenny's body was found....
we were all filled with remorse but releaved.
so since we had found kenny we knew we
couldnt give up on tommy.
come Monday morning i get a phone call
"we found tommy"
the living hell we were living for that
whole month was finally over.
and still feels like yesterday
AS THE SEASONS CONTINUE TO CHANGE
WE STILL MISS YOU MORE THAN EVER
To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me
(Author Unknown)
When I am gone, release me, let me go,
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, You can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it is time I travel alone.
So greive a while for if grieve you must,
then let your grief be, comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear,
All of my love around you, soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say,.......
"Welcome Home"

Brothers
Brothers,
The ones you go to for help,
For comfort,
For advice.
When you just had a fight with Mom and Dad,
Another girl,
Or your boyfriend.
Brothers,
The ones you go to,
to tell them that
You're pregnant,
Getting married,
Or just need a shoulder to cry on.
The ones you look up to,
Share jokes,
And talk to about everything.
Brothers,
They're there for the good times,
Bad,
And everything in between.
My brother,
He helps me with everything.
Now all he needs,
Is me.

I MISS YOU
Everyone has told me that you've gone to a better place.
Still I miss you, your smile, your laugh, your face.
I try to remember all the good times we shared,
how much you loved and cared.
I doubt there will be a day that goes by,
that I will not think of you and wonder why.
Why it had to be you who was taken away,
when I would have taken your place any day.
It seems so lonely since you've been gone,
but I understand that you've gone home.
I will always remem
ber you with loving grace,
and think of you with a smiling face.
I know you are in Heaven right now smiling down,
so I'll try my best to laugh and not frown.
I am sad I wasn't able to say I love you and goodbye,
even if you were unable to hear my final cry.
I'll think of you when I'm feeling lonely and depressed
and my tears will be laid to rest.
May you always be
in my heart,
till the end beca
use you we
re there fro
m the start.

Remembering Them
(in loving memory of Kenny Brisby and Tommy Johnson)
We shall see them in the beauties of the earth In the loveliness of summer sunsets
And in the loneliness of winter winds In the delicate new life of springtime trees
In the blazing glory of falls bright leaves
We shall see them in the face of youth.
Seeking,straining for love and truth
And ion the peaceful face of age
Completing the journey of our days.
We shall see them in the oceans mighty power
We shall see them in the wonders of the stars
We shall see them in the face of happiness and care
WE SHALL SEE THEM EVERYWHERE
Funny and Cute at the same time

If Tears Could Build a Stairway
If tears could build a stairway, and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness And secret tears still flow,
What it means to lose you, no one will ever know.

Broken Chain
We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again
ASK MY MOM HOW SHE IS
my mom she tells alot of lies
she never did before
from now until she died
she'll tell a whole lot more.
ask my mom how she is
and cause she cant explain.
she will tell a little lie
cause she cant explain the pain.
ask my mom how she is
she'll say " im alright".
if thats the truth, then tell me
why does she cry each night.
ask my mom how she is
she seems to cope so well
she didnt have a choice you see
nor the strength just to yell.
ask my mom how she is
im fine, im well, im coping
for gods sake, mom just tell the truth
just say your heart is broken.
she'll love me all my life
i loved her all of mine.
but if you ask her how she is
she'll lie and say she's fine.
i am gere, in heaven
i cannot hug from here.
if she lies to you, dont listen
hug her, hold her near.
on the day we meet again
we'll smile and ill be bold
ill say " your lucky you got in
here mom~ with all the lies you told."

A DAD'S GRIEF
It must be very difficult
to be a man in grief
since men don't cry and men are strong
no tears can bring relief.
It must be very difficult
to stand up to the test
and take the calls and visitors
so she can get some rest
They always ask if she's all right
and what she's going through
but seldom take his hand and ask
"My friend, but how are you?"
He hears her crying in the night
and thinks his heart will break
he dries her tears and comforts her
but stays strong for her sake
It must be very difficult to start each day anew
and try to be so very brave
He lost his baby too.

Footprints
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Scenes from his life flashed across the sky
and he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to him and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life had flashed before him,
he recalled that at the lowest and saddest times of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
I don't understand why, when I needed you most,
you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious child.
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering
when you saw only one set of footprints...
That was when I carried you."
A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
Little did we know that morning
The sorrow the day would bring.
The end was sudden, the shock severe.
We never knew that death was so near.
When days are sad and lonely,
And evening shadows fall,
We hear your voice and see your face.
Your sweet memory lingers on.
God knew you had to leave us,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home
Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
cry with your brother or sister
who walks in grief beside you.
And when you need me,
put your arms around anyone
and give to them what you need to give to me.
There are so many who need so much.
I want to leave you something --
something much better than words or sounds.
Look for me in the people I've known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
as well as in your mind.
You can love me most
by letting your love reach out to our loved ones,
by embracing them and living in their love.
Love does not die, people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
give me away as best you can.

The LORD looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
