Dear Hawkins Family,

Our family was greatly saddened when we learned of Brians passing. We remember Brian playing soccer with great joy and determination and we remember how our sons shared a run to the state final played on a cold night at Kean. Today, Matt asked his high school soccer team to dedicate their game's effort in memory of his teammate. Brian brought joy and love to each of you Diane and Pete, loving parents, Scott, admiring brother, and Alexis, partner in life. There are no words that we can offer to fill the void left by his absence in your lives and hearts. We pray God gives you the strength to endure, to smile when you see his face in your minds eye, to laugh when you remember him being a boy, and to feel love in knowing that Brian lives in each of your hearts. Be strong for each other and God bless.

Sincerely, Carol, Ed, Matt, Dan, & Kevin Bonder
