in memory of brian pugh

Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to stay connected and to leave your thoughts and prayers for Carol, the kids and all who have been touched by the tragedy.  We will try to update folks with information as it develops.  In the mean time, please leave a prayer for the family on the Leave a Prayer Page, a story of remembrance on the About Brian Page or add something to Nicholas and Christina's Memory Book.

Thank you for your presence and support

As you know this past Friday friends and family gathered together to remember and celebrate the life that Brian Pugh lead.  Far too short, but far from empty, Brian lived life to the fullest.  The stories, music and memories that were shared captured for so many the essence of who he was and will always be for all of us.  The laughter as well as the tears have forever created a bond and connection between all who where there to experience the extraordinary Spirit of God that moved through the service.  If you missed it here is a copy of the service bulletin.  You can also read the expanded biography here if you want to find our more about Brian.

Channel 11 Interview

This evening Channel 11 interviewed Carol, Joan and Robin about Brian. 
In case you were not able to see it, here it is.

A brief update

Again, the family appreciates your prayers and thoughts over the past few days.  Needless to say, most family and friends are still in shock over Brian's death.  We all still continue to pray for everyone effected by the events of Friday afternoon, the loss of loved ones and the very presence of such violence. 

In any case, the extended family is tightly knit together and are surrounding Carol and the kids with their presence and help.  The next few days will be dedicated to making arrangements for a memorial service as well as taking care of many details when such a tragedy hits a family. Please continue to pray not only for Carol and her spirit, but for those who surround her and are helping her to move through these next few days of decision making, a situation that no one should ever have to go through.

Hopefully sometime this evening, we will be able to announce details for the memorial services, so please do check back here later.
