Spc Santos,
We deployed with the same unit but landed in different camps once we were in Iraq. Through the training leading up to Iraq and when we were coming back home, you always had a smile on your face and laughing. Refecting on this, it makes me appreciate our deployment so much more. For this, I want to say thank you. You will never be forgotten.

Miss you Brian. Doing the best I can this Christmas. This was your favorite time of year, It wasn't about the gifts, It was about family and all of us being together. I shopped for some gifts and sat in the car and felt like something was missing. And it was you. I look at things in the stores. Especially the shoes and in my mind I think Brian would love those. And then my heart stops for a second. I miss you soo much. I just don't think it is fair that those people get to be with there family and you can't be with us. My heart just breaks. But I know I have to be strong and have faith in God that they will pay for what they did. And justice will be served for you. I love you my son to the moon and back!!!

Well my son. It has been a while. I have been working a lot. It keeps my mind busy. On the days I stay home I get really sad and cry a lot. I miss you soo much. Waiting for another hearing. Oct 5. And you know Eileen and Ashlan will be giving birth sometime in that week. And your birthday coming up. Another birthday without you. I take it one day at a time. It still feels like this all just happened and a piece of me is missing. They say when you lose a child you are never the same. It is so true. I ask God everyday to give me the strength and not let me fall into a depression or worse. I still have your other brothers to look after and I know you would not want me to fall apart and abandon them. I am grateful they are all doing well. I pray those people go to prison for a very long,long time. It just boogles my mind how they can be walking the streets and living there lives like they did no wrong. I truly struggle with that. But I know God is in charge of this case now. I have to just put it all in his hands. I love you Brian Boy! I hope you are happy in heaven and give God a hug from me. I miss you so much. xoxoxoxoxox

You are missed. This morning Gonzo and I were talking about how we both hope there is justice for you your family deserves closure and peace of mind. We always talk about how you would ask Jose if he practiced his comebacks in the mirrror because he would always have something to say lol. I remember having such great times and joking around all the time. To those who dont know you should know that you were a great caring and loving person always asking if they needed help. It's crazy to think you have left this earth but we have no doubt in our mind that you are doing great things in heaven. We miss you dude and just know that you are not forgotten.

And also to all the people who have prayed and for there emotional support. Even from people I have never met. But they have sent there support and pray for us. I know the trial will be next but at least I know there self defense did not work. And God gave us a good lawyer after all we have gone through to show the truth. I miss you my son.

Believe it or not this is my first time on this page. Words cannot express how much I miss you. You have had such an impact on my life, and so many others. I have truly been blessed with not only the chance but the opportunity to know such an amazing person. You never left me out on the streets. Remember when I used to drink all the time? I drank the tequila in the freezer and replaced it with water,bhit thinking that the water would freeze and you said "haven you was drinking wasn't you" I said no not me, and you said " Haven, we work all day , so it's not us , and just so you know, tequila don't freeze!" Lmao we all started laughing our asses off. But you never gave up on me. Thank you. I love you and owe you so much . I haven't touched alcohol I. Like 4 years and to show my appreciation I don't plan on drinking ever. Thank you Brian for loving me when I didn't love myself. God must have really needed some help up there when he took you home . Forever missed you are. Till we meet again brother.

Hi Brian, you have been in our hearts ever since you left. Im there to the end to support my daughter & your mother & family to see justice for you and have a peaceful closure for us all. i just wanted to share with u that Tessia is heading to Afghanistan, if u can please keep an eye on her and be her guardian angel, i hope it's not too much to ask. We truly miss you so much Brian, I know you met my father (Tessia gpa) Mike on thanksgiving 2013 and my father told our family, you are a good respectful young man, my father went to heaven 9 months after your passing. I also asked my dad to be a guardian angel too, I keep your mom & siblings in our prayers. Tessia is very strong, and i believe it's because how you have reflected your strength in her life, in some things she still seeks your approval, when she mentions to me ( i know Brian would want me too) or ( i feel Brian saying .....). Thanku Brian for your presence in our family and what u have shared with Tessia left a staple of a wonderful precious soul u are & we are honored to have met you & your forever in our memories & heart, love always & forever LAULU FAMILY.

Yesterday was a big day for your brother Seville. He finally went to Wrestlemania! His dream came true Brian! And he saw the Undertaker!! I know you were with him with a big smile on your face. And probably laughing at him cause you know he was screaming at the top of his lungs when he saw him. lol You know he is the biggest wrestling fan! Even though he would have wanted you to be there with him. It is amazing how after a loss we think about the things we want to do in life. Well Seville did it! All he wants to do is continue to make God, you and his family proud of him. We love you and miss you so much.

Story time:From Your Brother Seville
January 5, 2016
Story time:
Guys this is the most wonderful feeling I've ever had in my life.
This lady in this video had five kids of her own raising them by herself, I was adopted at just two weeks old by her, ever since all I've ever known was this lady her boys, they are my brothers and that is my mom. No ifs ands or buts about it. They deserve those titles.
All these years believe it or not we've never taken one photo together & always tried but never could get all of us together, sadly 2014 we'd never get that moment to attempt to, as my brother was murdered on New Year's Day, my other brothers well we all live in deferent states and with the passing of my brother a portrait of us together would never happen...
I had this idea to create a picture of all of us together in one photo, I called up Dennis Parians son Anthony S. Parian to help me and with the grace of God he said yes he could do it!
Few weeks later magic was created and a broken heart was fixed today as I gave my mother the best gift anyone could ever give their mother, she cried tears of joy and I want you all to see this, love your mothers take care of your family and tell everyone you love them, do something positive to make someone smile. Huge thank you to the Parian Family! Look at what you guys did lol
Merry Christmas mom I love you
So much going on
October 12, 2016
So much time has past. So much has gone on since you have left us. But you are always in our thoughts and prayers. We are all moving forward but you are moving with us. We know in our hearts you are with us in spirit and I hope you are proud of the direction we are all going. We try very hard to make you proud of us and stay as a strong family because you were always about family. We spend as much time as we can together. The grand children are growing fast and keeping me on my toes. But it helps me and gives me a reason to keep going. I am still waiting for justice for you and I know the time will come and justice will be served. We love you and miss you. I pray that God and you continue to watch over us and keep us strong and at peace. xoxoxoxo
