Chad,
There will never be words to express the deep sorrow that I have felt since you have been gone. You were a son that I took under my wing. It was so hard to finish out the season at Cols Motor Speedway this year without you. Know that I love you and was so proud of you. I can still see you greeting me with that infamous "Hi Mom" as you high stepped it to the trailer for something to eat. Then we would sit and chat about everything and anything.
You were such a good man with a contagious smile. A true zest for life.
I wish you could have truly known how many people truly loved you and looked up to you for who you really were.
The memories you have left behind are what brings us joy as we talk about all the fun and wonderful things you did with your life. No one could 4wheel, hunter, race, fish or camp like you and Bill when the two of you set out for an adventure. lol
I will always watch over Enola for you!
You will always be in my heart Chad!
I love you.

Dear Betty and Todd ,
You may not remember me but I have never forgotten the impact you had in my life. Especialy Chad , I don't believe Chad ever met a stranger. His love for his fellow man came streight from his heart. He is one of the best friends and almost cousins I have ever had. My only regret is that we lost touch so many years ago.
Sincerely

I knew Chad mainly from the racetrack. He was one of the nicest people out there. I remember when he was building his new race car. He was so excited he gave me pictures of his progress to keep. I will always hold them dear. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad and lonely time. May God help you to remember all the happy memories forever.

Words, however kind,
can't mend your heartache:
but those who care and
share your loss wish you
comfort and peace of mind.
May you find strength
in the love of family
and in the warm embrace
of friends.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

TO THE FAMILY & CLOSE FRIENDS, WE ARE SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF CHAD. OUR FAMILY KNEW HIM FROM THE RACE TRACK & MY HUSBAND RACED WITH HIM. HE WAS A VERY GOOD GUY & HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. I DON'T RECALL EVER SEEING CHAD WITHOUT A SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE LOVED TO JOKE WITH MY HUSBAND ABOUT THE RACE. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO WE WERE ALL SITTING IN THE PITS TOGETHER JOKING AROUND. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS GONE. WE WILL MISS YOU CHAD...RIP...OUR THOUGHTS & PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU AT THIS VERY SAD TIME. SINCERELY, MISTY & BILL BROYLES
