Hello,

You don't know me, but my son Blake Reynoldsjust died November 29th 2007. I was actually looking to view my son's registry when I saw the one for your son. I believe my step son, Kyle Williamson, knew Brice. I just want you to know that I understand your pain. It is indescribable. I have talked to a few other mothers who have also lost their children. We are going to try to start a support group. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you wish. My heart goes out to you and your family. I hope that in some way you have begun to heal.

With Love,
Lynne Williamson

We all know how much you love your family Terry. This news hit us all very hard because we hear you talk about them all the time. I am so very sorry to hear of this. Know that God will bring you peace. He will bring the smile that you wear so well when you think of the memories you have. I thought of how we went through the building process together, the stories we shared, the photos you showed of you and your family during this process. I thought back to your not wanting him to move out but allowing him to grow as a man. How proud you were when he was given the opportunity at his job at his young age. Terry you have a spirit that touches others with your presence. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Pritchett Family,
Over the course of this year and summer, I grew a strong bond and relationship with Brice. I had never met someone with such a great personality and love for his family. He was so proud of his parents new home, and their successes. He always talked to me about his infinite love for his mother, and how close they were. He spoke aout his Dad's humor, which deffinately enticed his own comedic nature. He loved to pick on Blane, and continuously spoke in awe about his older sister. I hope you can find comfort in knowing you raised a wonderful son. God couldnt have gotten a better Angel

Dear Pritchett Family,

I'm not certain if you remember me, but I've met you a few times before. I was a good friend of Brice, we went to school together, had a class together and were very close at one point in time. I just wanted to leave you with some words of comfort, although I know the difficult time you are in right now. Whenever Brice talked to me about his family I never heard one negative thing come from him about you. From Mr. Pritchett always protecting him, to Mrs. Pritchett always there to help him through school work and advice, to Blaine being his favorite to pick on:), and to his sister for always being there for him. I've been thinking, it is certain you all should know how much Brice cared about his family. Although we all didn't want him to leave, I feel comfort that he is in a better place looking down on us as our angel. And I hope that you find comfort in him as well. May God bless you. My prayers are with you.

Brittney Myers

Our loved ones are only but a gift to us from God. Brice belongs to him he always has, as we all do. God Bless you and your entire family. Brenda Burnett
