When Bryan joined our family, I wanted to contribute the organ music at the wedding, including my own Wedding March. A reckless teenager trying to out-do Wagner, I wrote the processional in 7/4 time. Bryan was quite concerned about that extra beat in the march and could envision participants stumbling down the aisle. I told him, if needed, they could count to fourteen and it would all work out. It did, and I gained a new big brother for the next fifty years!

He simply was wonderful.

Even now when I think of him, tears come to my eyes.
