Not sure what to say?

I saw the picture of Mr. Bradshaw and it took me back DECADES to when I went to school with his son Gilliam Bradshaw. The resemblance is uncanny, event with the age difference. And, the resemblance doesn't end there. In reading the comments about Mr. Bradshaw from friends etc., I can again remember Gilliam and his easy-going, kind nature. I express my condolences to the family, and at the same time offer my congratulations. As a parent, I commend Mr. and Mrs. Bradshaw. Im not so often struck...

Our deepest sympathy. Cleve and I will keep you and your loved ones in our prayers. AG was one of a kind and surely will be missed.

I am so grateful that it was Uncle A.G. who was holding my father's hand when he died in 1993. Uncle A.G. sat with Daddy for days, just holding his hand. That was the kind of friend and relative A.G. Bradshaw was. He always wanted people in his life to know they were loved, and nothing was more important to him than his family.

To the Bradshaw family, May you find comfort in each other and in the memories of life with "Pa".

I am glad I finally mailed our pictures of last year's tree to Mr Bradshaw. It was huge and...

To the family of Mr. Bradshaw

The Coker family has only known Mr. Bradshaw as the Christmas tree man. We saw him twice a year- to pickthe tree and then cut it. We have been coming to Norge to select our trees for years and he watched our grandchildren grow. They looked forward to sitting on his tractor and playing in the field. We are three families with 3 grandchildren and he was always so kind to us and our family tradition. He started our Christmas season and provided us with...

Dear Andy and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Dad was a great man and will be missed by everyone. I will keep you all in my prayers and may you find comfort in the many memories you have of the good times spent with AG.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
