Bri, pronounced like Breye, before he left his earthbound presence, he was both beautiful and handsome. His spirit lives on, and this commission from one of his parents, marks another way to help comfort them from their loss, and another way to say to a beautiful spirit, as well, that "You are and have always been loved."
