Goodbye Sweet Brian
When we got to the hospital today the doctors said that they felt they had done everything that they could for Brian. Brian was exhausted and had given everything he could... They were able to keep him comfortable for all of us to get here and say our goodbyes. Brian James Friedrich was taken by his angel this afternoon in his mommy's and daddy's arms. He will surely be missed. Thank you for all of your continuous prayers. They were able to get some family pictures today and Corey hopes to be able to post some pictures at a later time.

Brian was a strong little boy that fought very hard for 53 days. He is whole now and will be missed.
ReplyDeleteBrian was a fighter and lasted longer than alot of people thought he would, but most of all I'm proud of his courageous parents! They did everything humanly possible to bring him home but God had other plans for him. He is our little angel now. Sleep peacefully little man. As always continued love and prayers! We love you all Phil and Deb
ReplyDeleteWords will never be able to express how sorry we are at the loss of "Baby Brian"! He will forever be remembered as a little fighter. Corey & Alyssa, you did good! I pray for strength and peace in knowing that he is with God and he has no problems breathing or any of the other things that he fought so hard to beat. He will forever be in so many hearts and I know he is proud to be your son! Love and prayers~ The Setera's
ReplyDeleteAlthough nothing anyone says or does will bring little Brian back, know that he is safe and sounds in the arms of his angel now, and will look after your family. As parents, you did the best thing that you could ever do for your child, and that was give him a chance at life. Brian knew that he was loved more than life itself and will continue to shine down on you from Heaven, until you are one day reunited.
ReplyDeleteWe were so proud of him. He fought every day. We went to bed each night praying for your little guy. We are with you. God bless you for all your fighting and the love and support. You did great. He is a champion, through and through.
ReplyDeletePrayers of strength and comfort be with all of you at this time. Even though God has taken him to be His own, Angel Brian will now watch over us.

i have been following religiously after being made aware that your family needed prayers through a friend. i prayed for strength of you, the parents. i prayed for strength of the nurses and doctors. i prayed for strength of this little precious baby. i pray now for peace for your entire family. i am so sorry for your loss...as generic as this sounds i am so very sad for you. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Remember that Brian fought hard for almost 2 months, but he is in a better place now where he won't have to fight anymore. He'll be with you, watching over you from now on.

ReplyDeleteGod's will be done my dear ones. I pray to God to give you strength and peace of heart. You are strong and faithful servants and have done well. Little Brian touched the hearts of so many.

Brian has wonderful parents. He left knowing he was loved by all. God will take care of him and he will always be with you. We will pray for peace and comfort.

It is impossible to come up with the right words during a time like this . . . taking the road less traveled is filled with mystery and faith, joy and despair, questions and confusion. But only remarkable and strong people like you take the road less traveled and because of that the Universe, the Source of all Light, will provide you with exactly what you need to heal. We, just as Brian, are placed on this physical plane for a purpose and that purpose is inevitably revealed through the spiritual world. Rely on spirit -- it will not fail you. We worked in our garden yesterday and planted a Hosta in Brian's honor and will always have a deeper understanding of the road less traveled. You are loved as is Brian. The Connollys
ReplyDeleteI Want to Thank you for sharing your baby with all of us. Not a day went by that I didn't think of your family and everyday I was amazed by your strength, your attitude, and your willingness to share your life with us. Baby Brian although his life was short here on earth he has made a huge impact on my life. Sometimes it is easy to take your life for granted and Brian fought so hard just to hold on. I think that he has touched so many here and now he can touch so many more now that he can rest. He was a true teacher and my heart goes out to you because he was truly something special! Baby Brian--a fighter--a superman--a teacher, Thank you Brian and thank you Cory and Alyssa for sharing your special little man with us! I hope that you can find some kinda of comfort at this time of grief knowing that you did everything that you could and now Brian can help you from were he is. As always thinking of you--Amy
ReplyDeleteHe was very strong and held on for as long as he could. Awlays rember everything happens for a reason. May God be with you and your family.

Brian was so lucky to have you as parents, I have never met you face to face, but have followed this blog every day since Kristin Shaw-Ragsdale said you needed prayers. There are children you live to be adults that will never feel the love this little baby felt in his 53 days!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, and you gave your everything!! Now know that baby Brian is at peace and no longer fighting but enjoying his eternal life! And you have our continued prayers for strength and peace in the days, weeks and years that follow.
Rest in peace little man!!

Brian is finally at peace, and I hope that God's love will eventually bring peace to both of you Corey and Alyssa, as well as the rest of Brian's family and friends. He was such an amazing little boy even though I didn't personally get to meet him. Just know that our love and prayers are with you all.

Corey and Alyssa,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Gary did a good job keeping me up to date on his status these past few weeks and I am grateful. Baby Brian was such a little fighter and gave it his all and is now at rest to suffer no more. He certainly had the family trait based upon your strength and courage. May you take comfort in knowing that there are so many others that share your loss during this trying time. My sincere sympathy to all that Brian touched in such a special way. May his memory live in your hearts forever more......
I'm so sorry for your loss as a parent I dont know how I would be able to handle all these raw emotions. You are very stong willed thats for sure. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Your family will be forever in my thoughts.
