Breen ,, You are Everyones Pillar of Braveheart . People would never Admit to it but they all wished they could be you . What was amazing is that you never asked for Help ,, Ya never said what can Canada Do for you ,, but instead you Did so Much for this Great Country ,, When you walked you walked as A Real Man ,,and in the Eyes of God , It made you one of Gods Men . Only the Surface of what happened to you has Registered ,, In Time Your Spirit that I hear in the Wind will Keep me Enduring along with your Family . I only Hope to One day be 1 Tenth of the Man you were for this Country and Family and Friends

In Time of Sorrow
May you see God’s light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone.
May you always remember
When the shadows fall —
You do not walk alone
(An Irish Blessing)
