The Mulkeen family to the Monroe-Woodbury Community: 'The respect we have for every one of you has no bounds'

To the Monroe-Woodbury community from the Family of Brian Mulkeen:

We cannot adequately express the gratitude and love that we have for all of the Monroe-Woodbury community and surrounding areas.

Everyone’s heartfelt love and support on behalf of Brian was astounding.

The men, women and children lining the roads to pay their respects to Brian was a true testament to his character, and the character of the members of this community.

It was evident in the pain and pride expressed by all that the loss of Brian’s life was truly mourned, but his legacy will carry on forever in all of our hearts.

To see the students of Monroe-Woodbury come together to honor Brian brought us to tears. \Brian loved Monroe-Woodbury, which played a major part in shaping the man that he became.

In Brian’s honor we hope that everyone in the community will work together to keep the community safe and teach our children the importance of compassion and respect.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the countless number of police officers, firefighters and emergency services personnel, both locally and from across the country, who coordinated the incredibly honorable services on Brian’s behalf.

The respect we have for every one of you has no bounds.

We would also like to express our appreciation to our home – the Village and Town of Monroe. The efforts from everyone involved in the organization of the services was a massive undertaking and it was executed flawlessly.

We are humbled, honored and proud to be residents of this great community.

Thank you all for helping us through this time of profound grief with your outpouring of love and support.

With sincere love and appreciation,

The Mulkeen Family
