Our dear UB,
You are missed here on this earth, but we know you are up there waiting for us and watching over us with Poppy and Stacey. Please give them hugs (as Uncle Roger said) from all of us. We love you and will miss you every day until we see you again. You will always be our UB.

Darling Friendf Bret, There is such an emptiness in the spot you occupied in my life and in my heart. I will always remember the many hours of laughter,from the mundane, the everyday things, and the "Good Mornings", to the silly and serious things. Your life counted for something and it rests in all our hearts and I will love you my friend until I pass on.

I will never serve my Chicken & Dumplimgs again without thinking of Bret. He always made me feel like the "Dumpling Queen" !
And I think that the brain of one of the brightest and most caring Orthoptists in the world has been stilled. He touched our hearts.
Love, "Mom" Olene
