"We accept the will of God #ChampBrian, rest in eternal peace.

It's been one year of fighting. Since that accident in January 2016 you have been in theatre more times you than have visited your grandma's home.

We thank God for your life. Your warm smile kept our hopes alive. But God wanted the best for you.

We walked the journey with you handsome boy, we release you in belief we shall meet someday. Pass our greetings to your mum.

 Fare thee well BOY."

Rest in Peace Baby Brian!
