Dear Uncle Bread (Brett),

I wish I could give you a big "Bear Hug" one more time, I miss you so much!

I wish that we could have went on our fishing trip we were planning together, it was going to be so much fun. It's not going to be the same without you here.

Thank you for being the "BEST" Uncle ever. My heart cries everytime I think about you being gone. Keep watching over us from Heaven.

I love you Uncle Bread!

Hugs and kisses,

love your,

Brett,

You & I had so many fun and exciting times together as children growing up.

You were always the entrapenuer trying to find a way to make money, strike it rich.

Your love for animals was large. You always had a great joke to tell, and yes you were the peace maker in this huge family of ours.

You loved everyone and especially the little kids.

Cousin, you touched so many lives in your short life.

I did not want to let you go, but I have comfort in knowing that I will once again be with the Cowboy Cousin I so dearly loved .

Eternal families we are!

I miss you so much!



Love,

Cousin-Lorie

Brett was a loving husband, you could tell how much Shiela meant to him when they were together. He loved his kids. He was a hard worker and was always kind and generous to those around him. He will definately be missed and always remembered. My thoughts and prayers for his entire family.
