Running through Jonathan's yard, riding bikes, getting lost in the woods, our first cars... Soo many memories man. To all of his loved ones, you're a part of those memories too. Janice and Sharon, I just want to thank you for the homes and hearts you kept and and I'm so sorry for this. Bradden, I'm sorry I didn't get to see you one last time, but I cry for you now. I wouldn't have made it through the Sabula tunnel without you. I love you buddy.

Janice, my heart is breaking for you. Although our kids didn't keep in touch after high school and it's been many years. I feel like it was yesterday that they were all together having birthday party's/ Halloween party's at the house in Tyler. I am so so sorry for your loss. No words can describe how my heart aches for you and your family. Forever in my thoughts and prayers.

I have so many memories of Bradden growing up with my boys. Trips to Disney, Alaska, fairs, family dinners, ect. The countless hours he would try to perfect his skateboarding. It is with a heavy heart we lost our connection, and wish you would have reached out to me. I am confident that "Meme and Pop" have welcomed you home. Bradden, you have always been a part of my heart. I pray for peace for your family and hope they know I am always a phone call away. Love to you always from your Aunt Terri.
