    I am so very sorry for your loss. I can only offer my prayers and that doesn’t seem nearly enough. But I do know that God has his arms wrapped tightly around you and will carry you through your loss. I will remember Brad always as the young man I knew on the basketball team. Know that we pray and think of you as you are on this journey.

    Dan, Nancy and family,
    Dan-I went to school with you until the 9th grade when my family moved to Texas. We were confirmed together at Cross Lutheran Church in Rockford. I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. I pray that God will comfort you and give you the peace that only He can give. As you face the upcoming days, I can only imagine how difficult it will be, find comfort in all of the beautiful memories of your son. God Bless you and your family always.

    Dan and Nancy, so many miles and so much time has come between us but at this moment they seem so insignificant. My thoughts and prayers are with you now. We can never figure out the “why” we just need to trust God for that and know that He too feels your grief and pain and is waiting to comfort and love us.

    To Nancy, Dan, Rikki, and Mitch,
    Both Francoise and I wished we could have been with all of you to help comfort you in the loss of Bradley. We have been praying for you since that moment when Mark called us. No one on this earth has the right words to make this much easier, but we know that Bradley is with GOD right now and he is being comforted by HIM. Just remember that when you are looking up at the stars at night and thinking of all the good memories of your son, that GOD and Bradley are standing side by side looking down at you and remembering those same times. Keep GOD close and Bradley will always be close to your hearts. With all our sympathy, comfort, and Love from your Cousins Mike & Francoise.
