It is a sad time and sorrow runs deep. Know that the family has been in my prayers for peace and comfort during this season. We will see Brad again - because we know that God lives and Jesus laid His life down so we who believe will have ever lasting life.

17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. You'll be missed my brother
