I was married to Brad and we have a beautiful daughter, Emily. There is so much I miss about Brad, I can't even begin to say it all in a few words here. It is still so hard to believe that I will never see his smile or hear his laughter again. While we separated when Emily was young, we remained close and I always valued his friendship. He was always a part of my family and I am so blessed that our relationship will live on in Emily and within the Cassidy family. I love all of you.

My brother, all I can think of is how getting through this hard time together will bring us closer. Then I realize losing him IS the hard time. I'll never forget him, and I'll never stop thinking of the things we could have discussed.

I had so little time with him, but his humor and the way he saw the world were so special.
I'll miss what I didn't get to see of him as much as what I did.

As a great aunt, I did not get to know Brad growing up but from what I have heard, it was my loss, he was a loving and caring man and will be truly missed by all who had the joy of knowing him and being a part of his life.
