Nothing really prepares us for the hardships and burdens one must have, but we must realize that the pain is not real, and the only thing that is, is our soul, which we must submit to Christ, and in doing so, resist any persecution or pain, and denounce any materialism, for they are not eternal. Only then, can we persist on the right path, and use our time to reach what is truly eternal than what is life.

Leslie and Rory, I am shocked and words cannot express the empathy I feel for the two of you as parents going through this. Brady was right in between my two kids in age, and I can't begin to imagine. I am glad that Brady was able to live so much of his musical passion. My heart goes out to you, and I wish your family strength and peace. In love and friendship, Laurie (Smith) Conger

I watched Brady as he grew from a young boy to a man in the Boy Scouts. Working with him on merit badges and hearing tales of his escapades on camping trips was always one of the bright spots in Scouting for me. Brady didnt just recite the Scout Law at the meetings, he lived in his everyday life. The world was truly a better place with Brady in it. It was my honor to be his Scouting leader and my pleasure to know this talented young man.

My love goes out to Leslie, Rory, Brooke and Kolbin. May God give you moments of peace and remind you of the sweet times spent with Brady. He will always be with you in your hearts and minds.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

An Irish prayer;
Longing For One More DayWhen we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence... a quiet sadness... A longing for one more day... one more word... one more touch... We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see you again some day, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. A place where there are no words that mean good-bye.
