Dear Tina and Trent,
I love you guys a lot. I know this will be a hard time for you both. Stay busy, cry all you need to, talk about Brad, remember the good times. Remember he knew that you loved him very much. And remember what God says in his word "I will be a husband to you and a father to your children." Hold this in your heart. And your friends are just a phone call away. Make the call. Love, Jan

We all had much fun as kids playing in the neighborhood. I ran into Brad some years back before his illness and it was good to see him. I was saddened to learn about his illness and kept up with him through Edward and my mom. My prayers are with you all.
