Keith, Rhonda and Bailey,
Know, as I'm sure that you do, that Brad was the kind of person many of us strive to be. In the 6 years I knew him, I can say that it wasn't enough time, but at the same time felt like I had known him a lifetime. He was a good friend, a great tech, and a good husband. I know family was important to him, as it is to me. All of you will be in my thoughts and I hope that by remebering the joy he brought to so many will be enough to help heal the wound. He was an old soul...he knew the value of family and friendship and it showed in all of his actions. I'll miss him dearly.

My heart is broken for all of you during this horrible time. The news was a true shock. I have been through many photos and memories over the past couple of days remembering times shared with Bradley in my kindergarten and second grade classes at North Chatham. What a precious boy.......was a blessing I received by being given the opportunity to have him as a student. My life was only made better by having Bradley in it. I know he will be missed so much by everyone.....especially Rhonda and Keith.......and his wife, Bailey. I never had the privilege of meeting Bailey but I hope to soon. Although the time was short for them, I am so glad they had the time they did. Hugs and love to all. Planning to visit soon. Thoughts and prayers for mercy and peace. (Mrs.Terry)
