Julie, Doo, & Morgan:
I may no longer be a part of the family on paper, but in my heart and in our lives, I will always be a sister to you Juls, an aunt to your children, and will always keep Brad close to my heart as my brother. Its not fair how he was taken from all of us so soon in life. I can hardly remember a time that there was not a smile on his face, he loved you all so much! He will be missed dearly! I'm here if you need anything, anything at all...I love you guys...

Dear Debbie, Ted and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Just remember as you walk through the valley of the shadow of death the Lord is with you. At this point he is the only one that can truly comfort you. There is no loss like that of your child. No matter how old our children get they are still our babies. I hope you know that your family and friends are there for you. We may not be there in person but we are lifting you up in are prayers. No one ever knows what tomorrow holds, but we do know who holds tomorrow and we know who is there to hold our hand. Be strong and have faith.
Love; Denny, Jeannie and Stinky

To my friend Julie and children, Aunt Deb and Uncle Ted:
Although I have moved and been gone many years, Julie is a friend from school and Brad, my cousin. I am so very sorry to hear of your loss especially as such an unexpected one. I cannot pretend to understand what you must be going through as a wife and children and as a mother and father. What I do know is that there is still life to be lived and precious memories to be made as your children/grandchildren grow. You and your family are in my thoughts. With sympathy and sincerety...
