To the Jenkins Family,
I only found out a few days ago that Bret had passed away. I went through junior high/high school with him and we graguated from the same class. He was a kind soul. I think I will remember his sweet smile the most. I moved away from Lake Station 1 month after graduation to Pennsylvania so I lost contact with alot of the friends I had. He was a sweet guy. I am so sorry to hear that he is gone.
