Glenn and Terry,
There is no loss greater than that of a child. Add to that loss the fact that Brian was your firstborn son. How overwhelming this all must be for both of you.
Jerry and I are so sorry we were in Wyoming and could not be by your side during this most difficult time.
Know that you remain in our hearts and prayers and know too that God and time will heal your pain.
Please accept our deepest sympathy on your loss.
Love,
Dawn and Jerry

Terry, I am so saddened to hear the news of your sons passing. This takes me back to when I lost my beautiful daughter. I haven't stopped thinking of you since the moment I heard the news. Through the many years I've worked with you, I know you are a wonderful and loving mother. I find comfort not in people knowing what I’m going through, but knowing people care. I'm praying for your family's peace during this horrible grief.

God Bless You,
Aileen Kelly

Dear Terry, Glenn, & Chad,
I was incredibly saddened to hear about Bryan's departure from us. He loved his family dearly and would do anything for you guys. He was such a funny person who ALWAYS made me laugh. He was also extremely compassionate, especially when it came to animals. He touched my life in so many ways. Please know that I loved him dearly and will continue to do so as long as I am alive. There will always be a special place in my heart reserved for Bryan and I will not let a day go by that I don't think of him. Thank you for continuing to keep me as a part of your family. I love you all very much.
