Mike and Sandy--I am sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Bryce. I spoke with mom (Joan) in Las Vegas tonight and she informed me. May the love of family and friends give you comfort during this tough time.
Love, Teri

Sandi,
I know you probably don't remember me, but I am your Aunt Joan Easley Thomson, Dick's sister. So sad to hear of your loss. How heart breaking to lose a son at age 21. We lost one of our sons a year ago, but he was 50 and left us 3 beautiful granddaughters to love. I know your heart is broken and the journey has not been easy. Wish I had magic words to make it all go away. As your second cousin, Beverly Condit Lehman told me, "You just take one step at a time and move forward." Bev lost a son and a grandson within 2 years. You are a member of the club no one wants to be in, those who have lost a child. So sad for you, Aunt Joan

To Bryce's Family:
Bryce was a student in my Biology class at DMACC. He was a really enjoyable addition to my class and I am beyond saddened that such a personable young man is gone from our midst. Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your son. I know I speak for others at DMACC that we will remember Bryce fondly. I will keep you and Bryce in my prayers.
