Dear Friends,
All of us here at Cornerstone were saddened to learn of the untimely passing today of our Deputy Director, Bryan Flint.
Bryan had a huge heart that was always open to helping people who were struggling. He found the time to do that little extra to make life easier for someone even when he himself was extremely busy.
The impact Bryan has had on Cornerstone and our entire community will never be forgotten. Our hearts are broken at his loss.
