Dear Penny and William, You may not remember the Bradleys from Park Ave Church of Christ because it has been a lot of years since we've seen each other,but I wanted to let you know how saddened we were by the news of Thistle's death!

Dear Penny, I was so sorry to hear Thistle passed, I couldn't believe it. I want you to know I'll be thinking and praying for you. I know you have suffered greatly already. I remember when you put me between you and Linda Speight at Park Aveune Church of Christ when Don Loftus was the minister and I became saved by you.

I have no adequate words to express the loss of a wonderful young woman I was so fortunate to have known for too brief a time. Please know you are thought of with great love and thank you for sharing your dear daughter with all of us, as our lives will continue to be blessed with her lovely memory.

Dear Penny, Lily and your entire family,
We are so very sad to learn that Thistle passed away. We have many good memories of time spent with Penny and the girls. I still have a piece of art work in my hope chest that Thistle made me when she was a little girl. You are all in our prayers and we are grieving with you. May God comfort you with many beautiful memories of your precious girl. Love, Bob, Shelly, Evan, Nathan and Jacob

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

Penny and Lily we love you very much!!!! Thistle will always be missed and in our hearts.
