I am Shagy’s Mom, his Dad and I are so proud of him, the way he lived his life, his compassion for others,the love he showed his wife and his sister. In a few weeks his niece will be born. Life goes on but the pain of losing Brian will never leave us. We will love you and miss you until we meet again my beautiful son. Many thanks to those of you out there who keep his name and music alive.
