It was wonderful to be part of the celebration of Fr Bryan´s life from Noosa. He has been a big part of our family´s life in New Brighton, particularly my parents, Edna & Jim Brown (deceased) and currently the Ward family (my sister, Christine, Barry (deceased), Rebecca and Cassidy. I have always felt a part of New Brighton parish on my many trips home to Chch and Fr Bryan was such a special person to me. He will be very much missed by all.
