God Prepares a home for us:

Our lives reflect but dimly the perfection of the lord. And when our loved ones pass beyond our view, They come into the presence of the One who made us all, Where glorious love and joy come shining through....

And while the earth is precious and our sorrow is sincere, Our hope is in the promise we are given that life is but a journey leading to the perfect home that God prepares for each of us in heaven.







This saying was sent to my family a year ago and I wanted to share it.

With Sympathy, My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family of Brad. I worked for Brad for three months at the Eastland location of Randolph Dodge. I am greatful that I had the oppertunity to know and work for him. He was an incredible person as well as a great bussiness man. Take comfort in that Brad was so wonderful, that he touched many many lives, and accomplished so much in the short time he had. Everyone should strive to be more like him. He will be missed immensly by myself and others.

To Brad's family: Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Take comfort in what a wonderful person that Brad was all through his life and how many lives he touched. He was one of my favorite people growing up and in high school. He always had the ability to make others laugh and also to laugh at himself. If only the rest of us had a small portion of that ability to not take life TOO seriously.



God Bless.

In 1994 we never thought Brad would like selling cars. Those first months were hard but Brad was open to learn. He did the hard things and put His energy and drive to work. He has made everyone He worked for and with very PROUD that we had a small part in His success.But after all He had the best teachers at home. My Deepest Sympathy in your time of Sorrow.

Mr. and Mrs. Galaway and Family:



My husband and I would like to express our sincere sorrow for the loss of Brad. We met Brad in January when we bought a new truck at the Randolph Dealership in Eastland. After buying the truck, Brad and my husband become “golf buddies”. I become better friends with Brad when he began dating my best friend Wendy Wright. Even though God took Brad from all of us way too soon, we are so glad we were given the opportunity to become friends with him. Brad was an awesome person. He was so caring and giving. He will be greatly missed.
