Brad, Hard to believe it's now been 5 years. I can't help but wonder what you'd be saying about everything in this crazy world now. I miss you still.. seems like just yesterday. Time flies. Eli has his drivers license! Sophie is 11 & my lil Barron is almost 4. I lost my Father this year in April. We weren't even allowed to see him the 2 months that hospital kept him. We spread his ashes up north next to his brother we just lost a year ago. I know and envy you're in such a better place now. Especially now, but I still wish you were here. The smartest, funniest guy I knew. I'll always have you in that special corner inside my heart. I pray for your parents a lot too. I know how inexplicable grief is losing a child. Watch over us all and I hope you're doing all the things you dreamed of now.
Love ALWAYS,
Teresa

Brad,
You will be so missed! Your humor and political insight was masterful-your wit, smarts, and intelligence was beyond the average human being....While a void exists on earth-you will be embraced by many people on the other side-I am sure they were all lined up in heaven's gate to greet you. Until we meet again-
Love,
Auntie Terri

Janice, Rick and family, I was so surprised to hear of your loss, did not know that your son Brad was so ill. Wish there were words to express my feelings for your loss. I can only say how sad it would be to lose a child one of my biggest fears. I remember my mother saying the same thing. Take care and know that I will be thinking of all of you at this time.
