I've been praying for Brad since he stopped playing Words With Friends...I know how he missed his wife and loved his grandkids and family. I would love to know if there is anything I can do to help. He texted me in response to a picture I texted him...I'll try and see if I can upload both because it was moving. 928-261-8609
