Well my adoring brother, it's almost coming to a year that you departed from our souls. It's no easier today than when we first lost your loving and kind spirit. There is not a day that goes by that you are not in our thoughts; that you are not missed. On the contrary, it takes everything within us to keep living, albeit as the "walking dead." God is our strength and because of Him we are here. We know one day we will all be reunited and we can't wait until that glorious moment. Until then my precious "Milky Way," keep shining your brilliant smile as you continue to ride your Heavenly Wheels in Heaven.

Milton Bradley it's been a long time since I have last seen and spoken to you and to find out when I return to CT that you wanted to see me and we never got that chance and to think that you were working just down the street from where I lived. It breaks my heart to had found out what had happened to you when I can remember the times we hanged out and just talked and chilled you were a great person and friend and so sad to have not been able to see you again, but I know in my heart that you'll await for me your good friend.

God only knows how much I miss you. You are always in my thoughts. I'm continuing to do my best for you and Troy and trusting God completely to do the rest.

Keep watching over us all; we will be
together upon God's calling. Until then,
know that my love for you is as deep as the ocean, as high as the never-ending sky, and as pure as the blood God shed for us
on the cross.

Your loving sister and friend.

21 years of the best memories of my life.You taught me some of lifes most valuable lessons....even when I had to learn the hard way. No matter what,we stayed close friends because you had such a kind and forgiving soul. You gave me the most precious gift a man can give to a woman...OUR SON.I am forever grateful to you. I promise to make you proud. May you rest and be at peace. Forever in my prayers. -Hon

To The Reyes Family.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your loved one. May the comfort of God help you during this difficult time. As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why he left this earth so soon, or why he left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you will begin to remember not just that he died, but that he also lived. And that his life gave you all memories too beautiful to forget

My loving, gentle brother Milton...how do I begin to breathe without you? Your genuineness and kindness for all was obvious through your beautiful smile and actions. Your soul was filled with unwavering selflessness and it was so since I welcomed you into the world as your older sister. Your peaceful spirit was evident early on and it remained with you throughout your life. Know that through God's grace and mercy, that we will definitely be together again...finally in a place where there is no more suffering and disappointments, only undescribable serenity and joy.
Thank you my dear Milton for all that you were and still are in my heart. I miss you beyond words and trust our Heavenly Father to get our family through this tragic loss. Watch out for us until we are together again. Te quiero mi querido hermano. Saludanos a papi.

WOW!...I worked with Nicole Reyes for many years and met Milton once or twice & Troy( he was probably 8 years old), the son of Milton and Nicole. To face your father's death at the age of 13 and under these circumstances...it must be devastating to a young kid!. I want Nicole to call me at Lewtan Industries...Glenn Jardine>>>Life goes on!
