Dear Belinda;

I am so sorry for your great loss. I didn't know Brad well, but I remember him from when the two of you would come to gymnastics. You would always be laughing and smiling and affectionate and full of love. I remember thinking how nice it was to see two people so much in love. A big hug to you and the girls. My thoughts and prayers are with you. If I can do anything......

YOU WILL BE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. BRAD`S PASSING IS A GREAT LOSS TO ALL WHO KNEW HIM. I HAVE LOTS OF GREAT MEMORIES OF HIM WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP ON DICKENS,PLAYING SOFTBALL FOR ST.TIMOTHY`S CHURCH.HANGING OUT WITH OUR FRIENDS AT HERMOSA PARK PLAYING BASKEBALL OR BASEBALL. AND OF COURSE LETS NOT FORGET THE GREAT PARTIES AT YOUR HOUSE IN WOODDALE.WE ALSO LOVED TO PLAY DARTS IN HIS GARAGE, ALTHOUGH WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE COLD IN THE WINTER TIME IT WAS STILL A GREAT TIME WHERE EVER WE WERE. ( BRAD WON MOST OF THE TIME) AND SOMEDAY WE WILL HAVE A REMATCH WHEN I SEE HIM AGAIN IN HEAVEN.



LOVE ALWAYS

Dear Hansen's

All the Stripling's send their condolences. I didn't know about Brad's illness until about a week ago but since then I've just been flooded with memories of the years we spent living across the street from one another. I remember playing "It" with Brad every summer night in 1975! It seems like the simplest things are what stay with you. I remember walking to girl scouts at St. Timothy's and 90% of the time Brad would be up in that big tree on Dickens and you wouldn't know it until he was scaring your socks off by jumping out right in front of you. I'll say a prayer for you all that in time all the good simple things from your memories of Brad will bring you comfort. God Bless you all. Joyce, Paul, Ray, Eloise, Tom & Lois Stripling
