Carrie i know that all these words are comforting but dont really help. The only thing that helps is time. In time you will move on thou you will never forget. Losing a brother will leave a hole in your heart, just know in time you will be with him again. He is in a better place...nothing beats heaven! Just stay strong and keep your friends close by for support. Think of him everyday and hold him close to your heart. He is watching over you. You lost your brother but you gained a guardian angel.

I just came back from the funeral service and i just wanted to let everyone know that the church was packed and people were standing up in the back. This should show you just how loved Bret is and how missed he is. My heart really is sad for his family and friends.

Lynne,
I can't even imagine what you and your family are going through.
I do know that Bret is in such a beautiful place-and he will always be looking down upon his family and keeping watch over you.
When you look up at the sky, and find the most beautiful cloud, that is where Bret is feeling no pain, hurt no disappointments.
GOD has brought another angel into his house.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Your family at at&t will always be with you as well.
GOD Bless You and Your Family

After Glow
I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done,
I’d like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing
times and bright and
summer days.
I’d like the tears of those who
grieve, to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.
To the Cravalho Family- My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time....RIP Bret
