William Rice Bracken

Dear Bracken family:

I am just hearing of this and words cannot express my pain for you and your family. The short time I knew him, he was an amazing young man. Hank loved him so much- I could see that at your home and when he came to school to see Hank when Hank was with me at Hunter's Creek.
My prayers and thoughts are with you all

Geoff,
May Will live on in you, Shelley and Hank.
I am so sorry for your loss and wish that I had known him.
Please take care of yourself and give Shelley and Hank a hug from on old friend.

With love,
Nancy McCulloch Flanagan
for Richard, Bailey (age 16) and Davis (age 16) too

Geoff and Shelley, I just heard of your loss today and am so very sad. I know everyone wishes to find the words and acts to ease your pain, and then feel as helpless as can be as we know we can only be there for you. I have read all the entries and am so impressed with how much an impact Will had on so many people. A testament to you, and to his own spirit. His letter is amazing. I am humbled by it. All my love, Sarah
