Prayers & Condolences For:
Brian K. Joplin
BY Anonymous on Nov 03, 2005 | |  | Brian was a dear friend to me, we could talk for hours about nothing at all or everything. I miss talking to him, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could do to ease the pain but when you lose someone like Brian, the pain is too great. Brian would want us all to carry on and live life like he did...by the seat of our pants. To his family: I cannot put into words what he ment to me, I will say this, he saved my life. Because of him I am alive. To Belinda: I know how it feels to lose the man that you love, my husband died a year ago, it does not go away but life does go on. You have his girls, you will forever have him in your heart, he will be with you always. To his girls: Your dad was one of the greatest men I have ever known, you know what people thought of him all I ask is that you live like he did. When you follow the road your father took you will learn to walk like him. To my fellow Shipmates: Let's have a Dr. Pepper for our friend Joppy, and maybe a few jokes. GO SOONERS!!!!!! We beat Nabraska at least!
