You have passed from this earth dear Brad.
But you live on in friends’ hearts and souls.
They remember what a loving friend they had.
And your memory fills empty holes.....

I wish I had known you better dear friend.

Your kind heart, smart mind, and laughter.

Of those you’ve left, I’ll mend and tend.

I regret not knowing you ‘til after.

Brad, I never really got the chance to meet you. I'm really sorry that I didn't because I know that anyone with as many friends as you have has to be a wonderful person. I can't promise many things but I can promise from the bottom of my heart that I will take care of your little sister for as long as I live. She is the most important thing that has ever happenend to me and I know that she is the person she is in part because of you. Your mom and dad miss you a lot and I want you to know that I will always be there for them, too. I regret not being able to meet you but I'm sure I will one day. Until then..."What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." ~ Helen Keller
