For all of us, Brett was so easy to look up to. He was the strongest of us, most charismatic, and of course the most athletic; Brett was the best of us. An incredible person who I found comfort in speaking to. So often I find myself thinking back to conversations we've had and feel at ease. Brett has left a permanent impression on my life, I hope to emulate everything Brett was and become a person he would be very proud of. God Bless you and everyone he's ever touched.

Brett,
We miss you so much. Sometimes our grief is so deep it becomes physical. As soon as we get to the point when we feel as if we cannot carry on, we remember you. We remember your outlook on life, your character, your spirit.
Your presence on earth was strong, but your presence in spirit is even stronger because we feel you. We may not feel you all the time, but you are always there when we need you most. I know this is because you are very busy- you have a lot of people who need you to watch over them.
We love you, Brett and we always will. With each day that passes we think of you.
I don't know if we will ever come to face the reality of your passing- it seems impossible.
To Uncle Tim, Aunt Candy, Sheena, Steve, Sean, and Corey:
Your family loves you all more than you will ever know. We are here for you through all of this. We are here for you today, tomorrow, next week, next month and years to come. We are honored to call you family because your strength has been incredible.
Love always,
Alex and Kara Abramo

We have a small community and I find it amazing how many people were praying for Brett, people that didn't even know him or his family. All I can say is that the good Lord must have really wanted him. People are telling me what a special person he was. That he would go out of his way to say Hi and make you feel special. We all feel the family's loss.. God Bless
