Two lives remembered

Jeremy Briers was a fun, talented man with a beautiful smile. Of that there is no doubt. He was a kind helpful person with a loveable soul and heart. With this in mind we want to commemorate the lives of Jeremy Briers as well as that of his father, Peter Briers, both of whom passed away in 2019.
