Dear Bradley Family.
My husband Dave and I are so sad to hear of your loss. I did not know Mr. Bradley but felt like I did because of the wonderful way his beautiful daughter, Karen, spoke of him. Karen is one of the most special people I have ever met. She is adorable and I love her so much. I worked with her several years ago but she will always have a special place in my heart. Karen is a wonderful testimony to her father. He did a great job of raising her.
Our prayers and love are with all of you. We know he is in a better place but there is never a right time to let go of a loved one.
Take care and God bless all of you.
Love. Anne Griffith

Dad, you have always been the "strongest" man I knew in my life. You were my "rock" and were always there for me when I needed you. I am so proud of you and your life, living to age 75 is a great accomplishment as well as being married for 50 years. You provided a safe and loving home, raised 4 great kids and were part of 5 grandkids lives. I think that is pretty remarkable. My greatest honor besides having you for a dad was having you walk me down the isle. And you proved to everyone that even though you were sick, you still pushed yourself to walk your girls down the isle. And you did and we were so proud. Dad I cannot list in a email how much you mean to me and our family, but just know that you are missed more than you will ever know and that you will always be my "daddy". I love you.
