Dear DeHoog Family,
I was so sad to hear that Bryan died. I got the news from my Dad when I was in Ireland. Tears:( I will come visit you Mrs. DeHoog when I get back in a couple weeks. And I am so glad I got to visit with him just a couple days before I left. Praying for you. Rosebud

Teri and Family,
Though I didn't know Bryan, I have a son the same age and can't even begin to understand what you are going through.
I did loose my mother at a very young age though and still search for reasons. We can only hope the reasons for such senseless acts will eventually manifest itself in ways that we can understand and find peace in.
My thoughts are will you all.
Love Tracey

We are deeply saddened at your loss. We watched Bryan growing into a wonderful young man. God blessed you and trusted you with Bryan for 18 years and you did a wonderful job. God called him home to be free of sickness and pain according to His plan. God Bless and be with you all.

Dear Family,
We have all suffered such great loss these past 7 months with the loss of our Mom (Sue), and then the loss of two more family members on the same day, June 26, 2007 with dear Gammie and then just a few hours later, our little fighter, Bryan. I'm sure Gammie reached for his hand and took him along with her as they left this world together. My sympathy goes out to you, especially, Randy, Teri, Sara, and Kristi. WIth love, Uncle Don, Tammy, Bobby, Kim, Trevor, and Kelsea Toombs

We are so sorry you lost your young son, it is so heartbreaking. My family and I are thinking of you, with deep sadness. We lived 2 doors from Linda and Dave Crater, on Cherokee Lane. Our son Shaun is 19 and used to play together with Bryan, when he and his Dad came to vist the Craters. I remember one particular day, when Bryan was over, I made lunch for them both. They were sitting at the kitchen table munching on there sandwiches, and Shaun kept taking off the sandwich crust, Bryan looked at Shaun with a smile and said, "what's wrong, you don't like the skin?" I had never heard of "crust" being called "skin", that just tickled me. We loved Bryan's visits, he was a delightful little boy.
Remember Bryan was put here for such a short time, for a reason, he gave everyone who knew him, a happy memory. You must have millions of wonderfuly remarkable memories, he will always be alive in your heart.
God Bless and Keep you,
Love, Joan, Bob, & Shaun Guerrera

Teri,
I'm so sorry. What an incredible loss. Years ago you told me that dealing with your son's leukemia was the hardest thing you faced in life.
I can't help but think that Shirley was one of the ones that welcomed Bryan to heaven. They are having a great time now!
Meanwhile, I'll pray for you and your family. Stay close to God and we'll all be reunited in heaven. It'll be awesome then.
Hugs and Prayers,
Karen
