Please accept our family's sincere condolences concerning Bradley and we all wish for a full and speedy recovery for David and Steven. I had the unfortunate luck of having come upon the scene of this accident seconds after it happened and felt helpless while trying to assist the police officer on the scene. Just wish there was more that I could have done that would have kept Bradley with his family. Our thoughts and prayer's are with everyone that Bradley has touched in life.

human being, let me do it now, and not deter it or neglect it, as I
shall not pass this way again. ~ Wm. Penn
