Jared Michael Branfman

I am not sure what to say as I sit here crying at my laptop. I do know that I love each of you very very much. Jared will be missed and this world is a different place without his body here. I do know his soul is with us though. Steve, Ellen, Adam I love you all very much. I cant seem to get Jared's amazing smile out of my head. "Coach did you see how I pinned that guy?" I love you Jared. Your coach and friend. Brett

Dear Steve,
Your entire family has been much in my heart and thoughts since I learned of Jared's death, ande before that, of his valiant struggle. I know his life has been a precious blessing for you, and I hope that your grief will be lightened by happy memories of him.

To the Branfman family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I don't even know how to put into words what I'm feeling. I know your family best through Steve Branfman's pottery class, but I remember Jared from Thayer. If there is anything that I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.

Dear Steve, Ellen & Adam,

Kathy, Philip and I just heard about Jared passing away. We are all so very sorry for your loss.
Jared was such a wonderful role model for all of his fellow wrestling team members at Thayer.
Although we have not seen Jared in several years, our thoughts and prayers have been with him. Please call upon us if we can in any way help.

Sincerely,
Phil, Kathy, & Philip Strazzula

Steve and family
On behalf of the NH Potters Guild please accept our sincerest sympathy for the loss of your son, Jared. I hope your many happy memories of him will help you through this very sad time.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Jared was an inspiration to many who didn't even know him personally. His loss will be mourned by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.

Dear Steve, Ellen, and Adam,
With lots of love and sympathy from another part of the large ceramics community that mourns your loss of that fine young man, Jared.

Steve, Ellen and Adam,

My most sincere condolences on the recent loss of your beloved son. In the times that I met and talked with him at the studio, I was struck by the maturity and poise in which he faced life, never discussing his own troubles. I know how very much you were proud of him, as I saw it in steve's face when you were together in the studio. I am sure that there are very many happy memories that will endure through the years and keep him in your hearts. I know that...

We are very sorry to hear of your great loss, Jared Michael. This is a private time, but you are in our thoughts. We hope we will hear more about Jared and his times from Adam.
We wish you good memories.
Sincerely, Tom and Libby Porter
