Happy 16th Birthday  / Gramma Lyndi (Grandmother)
Tomorrow will be your 16th birthday, Honey.  I would give anything if you were here to share it with all of us.  Everyone misses you so!!!  We were fortunate to have you for 13 years, but it wasn't long enough.  I never see a young person wearing "wheelies" that I don't think of you scooting around on those shoes with the wheels in them, or a young man on a skate board or on a bicycle.  Your red bicycle is still here.  Your LeMans is still stored in the garage at Soapstone.  At least it's out of the weather.  We can't bring ourselves to do anything with it.  I wish you good fishing.
Happy birthday, Maynard.  We love and miss you always. Close

May God be with you in this time of sadness  / Sherri Smith
I am very sorry for your loss. I am a mother and have the greatest compassion for what you must be going through. I appreciate your efforts of educating other parents because I was not aware of such a horrific "game". There is so much evil out there it is impossible to protect our children from everything so I appreciate you and your efforts to educate others. Close

Hey Braden! 
How are you doing sweetheart? I miss you so much you have no idea what I've been going though. I wish you were here to give me a hug and tell me its alright. Gosh I miss the ol' days with you and your brother. I just miss you period. I havent wrote you in awhile. I remember when I used to write you everyday. I've been busy trying to keep busy and get my school work done and got a job and I'm going to get ready to go to college and get my own place. I hope your doing good up there and watching over all of us. Same with your father. I miss you two so much. I wish you both were here. I was so close to you guys and now your gone and I dont know what to do. I mean yeah I have other people I just loved the feeling of knowing if I needed you two you'd be there and alls i could do is pick up the phone and call or just come see you but now thats not possible. Just sucks. I hate it so much. I dont even know I'm just blabbing on about nothing really but how much i love you and miss you. Well now that I'm crying I guess I"m going to let you go. I love you with all my heart and i miss you so much. I think about you and your father 24/7. I love you sweetheart!

Love you ALWAYS && FOREVER!

Hey Sweethear, I am missing you  / Auntie Tammi
Hey Darlin,
I was just thinking about you. I had Kent and Jesse last weekend and it was hard. I kept thinking you should be with them. I miss you so much Braden, I look at your picture before I go to sleep and I look at your picture when I wake up in the morning. Sometime I lay there and wonder what you would be like now, how much you would have changed and I think about all the stuff you will never get to do.  It breaks my heart, and it still hurts so much that you are gone.

Uncle James misses you also very much.  When people ask him how he got interested in fishing, he say "Its all thanks to my nephew Braden, He got me started" You would be so proud of him he done really well at fishing. 

Jesse miss you very much and I know he remembers you. We went to see Transformer. At the biggin of the move they show this picture of the boy with the fishing pole siting on the moon. He looked at me and said thats my Brady and he's got a fish. He talks about you alot sometimes and he wishes you could come home. Jesse started school last week, from what your mom says he is enjoying it. He looks and sounds so much like you is almost scary at time. But its also a blessing because we still have a little of you in him.  Jesse is just like you in he is fearless and he loves to play hard and he is not affraid of getting dirty.  

Braden I miss and love you so much and I think about you, your dad and my dad pretty much everyday. My dad your grandpa would have been 70 years old this year. I miss him just as much as I did when he passed way 16 years ago, I know it will be the same with you, I will miss you forever and I will forever wonder what you would have been like. I love you and my heart will always be missing a piece.  take care little man and I hope you are catching some good fish.

To the family  / Breanna Zebrowski (Friend)

I just want to say sorry to his family. To his parents, you raised a beautiful person who played a huge part in my life. although i only new him for 2 years he was one of my bestfriends, he was always there for you no matter what he could make you laugh even if you were having the worst day of your life. he was a great friend !! it took me a while but i finally realised why god took him because he brought joy to peoples lives nd god wanted that same joy he was an angel and i know hes up in heaven joking around with the angels .. he's watching over all of us !! yuo are loved and missed but you will never be forgotten your family is in my heart and my prayers . 
   Love you my friend ..

sincerely, breanna

Happy Angel Day Love!  / Mom (Mother)
Hi honey,It's been two years now.  It seems like it all just happened yesterday and yet it's been so long since I've seen you, hugged you, heard you laugh, and seen your smile.  I miss your funny jokes and your wild stunts,  I miss everything about you.  Big Daddy Squeeze is doing good, you'd be happy,  He's grown alot.  I'm so lonley for you, I have never missed another person more in my life.  I've never been the same since you died,  I guess a part of me went with you.  Grandma is here and on your angel day we went to dinner at your favorite place,  Red Lobster.  I remember watching you eat snow crab there, that big smile and you needed very little assistance in cracking it open.  I can close my eyes and see that smile.  Sometimes if I try hard I can hear you laugh inside my head or hear the way you used to say "mom".  I still pick up my work phone in the morning and a little part of me hopes its you.  I know it won't be but I still have that little glimmer,  it's probably silly but my heart wants it so bad it just won't give up.  I miss you and I will love you always and forever.  Happy Angel Day Baby!  I hope you got the balloons,  The stars were Jesses Idea after all you'll always be his Brady Star. I love you.   Always  Mom. Close
