Dear Nat and Francie and family,



Jean and I wanted to express our sincerest sympathy at your loss. For us Bryan is frozen in time as a little boy, but we are sure that he had grown into a fine young man. No one can hope to explain or understand why these things happen to people we love so much. Please know that we are thinking about and praying for you all.
