Words alone are not enough to express this great loss. I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Brian, Sue, Maggie, Kyle, and the rest of the Walsh family and let you all know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
When I think back to my first friend growing up, I see Brad. For some time we were inseparable. I have many memories of waiting for the bus, sleepovers, playing in the attic in his room, ice skating in the backyard, and most of all, our baths--all of which I will cherish forever. Brad had a smile that could light up a room and I certainly believe that he is making someone smile somewhere

Dear Brian, Sue, Maggie and Kyle -
When we think of Brad we will always think of the connection that he and Mike shared with their love of the water, snow, cutting lawns, remote control cars and the outdoors. They are kindred spirits in many ways.
But most of all, we will continue to remember Brad's cheerful, friendly smile and his waves to us as our paths crossed his. That is the picture we will keep in our mind's eye.
We feel very lucky to have known him all these years and been with him so recently. Brian and Sue, you raised a wonderful young man and his beaming personality and spunk affected so many people in such a positive way.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your extended families during this time of great loss. We are here for you whenever you need us.
Love,
Dick and Linda

Brian and Sue,
I've recently had my first child and I often think of my first experience making a bottle for a baby. Sue, you instructed me in the kitchen of your first little condo when I was just 14 and Bradley was an infant. You were such a great teacher and nuturer even from the very beginning. I cherish my sweet memories of Bradley,...my best girlfriend's (Erin) first nephew. My strength is with your family.
