Mr. Brian "Brian" J Conway, CPA
In lieu of flowers
Background
We lost our beloved Brian after a long and courageous battle with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Throughout his fight, we witnessed firsthand the immense toll that cancer takes on a patient and their entire family. We also saw the incredible importance of the research that provides new treatments, the support systems that comfort families in their darkest hours, and the simple, desperate need for hope.
In lieu of flowers, we ask you to join us in honoring Brian's resilient spirit by supporting the American Cancer Society. Your contribution is more than a gift; it is a continuation of his fight and a beacon of hope for other families who are still in the midst of their own battles. We hope that through this, Brian's legacy can be one of easing the burden of others and contributing to a future where no family has to say goodbye this way.
Thank you for your love and support. Contribute to American Cancer Society
