Thank You

Brody's funeral was so incredibly special. I was shocked to see how many lives our little angel boy had touched. I don't think there was an empty seat in the chapel. Everyone who participated in the services did an amazing job--whether they spoke, sang or prayed. They really shined. After the grave dedication, some friends started up their dirt bikes and four wheelers on the ATV trail adjacent to the cemetery. (Brody had absolutely loved the sound of four wheelers) As they did "one last ride" the wind suddenly gusted just briefly and then stopped. The crowd sobbed. It was so awesome to know Brody was there. We are extremely grateful to everyone who's been in contact with us since Brody's passing. The gifts, the cards, the thoughts, the prayers....You have really touched our lives. I have several hundred thank-you cards to write. I'm hoping to complete them by this weekend. Until then-- Thank you, thank you, thank you.
