Bree was my friend. He was a good man with a huge heart and a willingness to help anyone. Many a person has passed on without leaving a hole in my heart but Bree was not one of them. He will forever be in my heart and mind. I was very fortunate to have known Bree and able to call him a friend. Rest in peace Bree.
Rick and Bree’s family. Please be comforted in knowing that Bree is in a much better place now; free of the pains and tribulations of life here on earth. Bless you all.
