“Life of Brian” Celebration

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

A whole great group of friends and family came together last Sunday to remember the life of our own Brian McNaughton. Love, laughter and fond memories ruled the day. Thanks to everyone who made this touching event possible, it was a testament to the life of a great man who meant so much to so many.
