Bryan,

You will be missed dearly by all who love you, especially your boys. I will take good care of Cameron like I always have and I will tell him everyday how much you loved him. He will never forget you; you are so special to him and always will be! He knows you are in heaven now, happy as can be and that you will be watching over him and Tyler always. I will make sure that Cam and Ty grow up together like brothers should, and if Jennie or anyone else ever needs anything at all, they can count on me. I will miss you very much and never forget how you have touched my life. God Bless you, Bryan.

Bryan,

The memories that I keep with me from growing up with you and the Stegenga's will always stay fresh in my mind. Sleeping over and being tortured by you was never so much fun. I can't believe you're gone. You always watched out for me and I looked up to you for that. Though you aren't here on earth, I will always have those memories. I will pray for your family and your loved ones. I know that you will be missed greatly and I send all of my love and prayers to the Stegenga's, to Jennifer and the boys, and to all of Bryan's friends and loved ones. My church is also praying for you. I'll miss you!



Love,

Keara
