A Dear Cousin
Brad was always on my list of favorite cousins, and our mothers were more like sisters than first cousins. He was blessed with many positive attributes. Brad and I would keep in touch at least every other week, and I always knew to call him before 8 p.m. (LOL). He will be truly missed. Love and prayers to Milt, Thea, Mikael and Nik. ~ "Tippi"
