A few days ago I heard in passing of a shocking news story on TV. Yesterday on a Google news app a nameles face and a caption about a tragedy. Today I open my email from AN about Brian's sudden passing. The face has a name now and I'm heartbroken.
My condolences to everyone affected. I can't help but have empathy for Brian especially... Thank you, Brian for this board and may you and your family be at peace now.
I have not been a member that long but when of the influential and passionate founders or leader of such a team is suddenly taken, it is unfathorable to imagine that they are not there to head the team any longer. However, his spirit, drive and passion will remain and the positive work done by his team will continue as a legacy to him. May this be if some comfort to his family and friends.
My heart and condolences to Brian's family, friends and colleagues. Thank you Brian for creating a wonderful and supportive space for nurses to connect and interact with each other. You will be forever remembered and sorely missed.
