Dear Liller Family, Here is a beautiful passage from a prayer book: Dear Lord, Held up to Your light, our broken hearts can become prisms that scatter micro rainbows on the wall. Our pain is useless as it is, redeeming God, just as a prism is a useless chunk of glass until light passes through it. Remind us that the smallest ray of sun in a shower can create a rainbow. Use our tears as the showers and Your love as the healing sun. Looking up, we see the tiniest arches of hope in the lightening sky. Jim, I am so happy God placed you in our lives. My Dad(melissa's) is probably so happy that we have become friends and I can't imagine not being here for you now. With your words and memories you bring my dad back to me and I appreciate that. May in the coming days through your tears may you start to see glimmers of rainbows as you lean on Him for comfort. Love, Melissa and Kim

Liller family, I am so extremely sad over Brian's passing. Brian was such a special friend to my brother Jr and I. At times Brian was a better brother to me than my own brother was. I had ran into Brian last summer and we had a chance to go out to dinner to catch up. I was so happy to see him and get back in touch. We had such a good night catching up and laughing. I tried to keep in touch but never heard back from Brian. I wish I could of been there for him and been a better friend. Brain had so many great qualities and I can never thank him enough for all of the times he helped me move or went shopping with me and just hung out with me. I really feel like Brian was family and I am going to miss him very much. I always remember when we were little and Brian, Jr and I went to go see a Muppet Movie. Brian could do a perfect impression of the chef on the Muppets and continued to do the impression into our 20's and even 30's. It always made me laugh so hard. Brain was such a good friend and like a brother to me growing up. Again I am so deeply sorry and please let me know if there is anything I can do. I will keep you in my prayers. Tracy Betke Sabatasse

Dear Mr.& Mrs.Liller, You don't know me, but I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Brian. I work at the Comfort Suites and I have been off for over a month now recovering from surgery. While I was working and also when I stayed at the hotel right after my surgery to rest, I ended up speaking to Brian. I just wanted you to know he was always very respectful and kind. His passing has touched me in a way I didn't expect. He has brought God back into my life and I will be forever grateful to Brian. I pray now that God helps you cope with the emptiness you may feel. I just had to let you know that I believe Brian is doing good deeds for other people. He has already helped me out of a depression from illness, I've had 9 surgeries since 2003 and I'm 35 years old. I'm married with a 3 year old. I now see my husband and daughter in a different way and feel strong enough to deal with life. And it started when I talked to Brian!!! Prays & Peace to you both and your family. Sincerely, Christina
