Brad was truly one of the best people I've ever known.
An amazing Brother in law, The best uncle to my girls.
He is my husband's Best Friend.The husband to my Best Friend.
I have done a priority check of my life, as I'm sure everybody who knew Brad, or knew of him has done. What is most important to me? What matters most in this life?To me, my family is my everything. I want them forever, I have them forever, I'm going to do what I need to do to keep it that way. Keep the commandments, pay my tithing, heed to counsel, go to church, make the temple a priority. Things to some that seem so easy and yet to others something that is to "hard". Why let such little things keep you away from so much more?
I'm grateful for the gospel, I'm grateful for eternity. I know this life is full of tests and trials. If we didn't go through sorrow, we wouldn't know joy. How joyful will our reunion be someday?
Brigham Young stated "We have more friends behind the veil than on this side, and they will hail us more joyfully than you were ever welcomed by your parents and friends in this world; and you will rejoice more when you meet them than you ever rejoiced to see a friend in this life."What an amazing thought.

Awesome post. What a great tribute to Brad. Brad was such an amazing man from what I knew of him. He was a great guy. Tahsha is a lucky girl to have him for eternity. I hope you guys are doing ok. We need to get together soon!
Thank you Steph. Brad loved you, especially while I was in Virginia and you guys let Brad be your third wheel and chaperone :) I love that quote from Brigham Young. I can't tell you how much I look forward to that day. You and I will have to have lots of adventures in the meantime.
Steh,
What a awesome post... I did not have the chance to know Brad so well but what I did know of him he was such a great Friend, Husband ,Dad. Kendall always talked about him and what a great guy he was. My heart has been so heavy for you all to have to go through this trial of life. I have cried many times for Tahsha and their beautiful little girl.What a strong women she must be, I am so sure she has her moments of saddness, but what a blessing it is to have the knowledge of the gosple and to know he is watching over her at this time and that they can be together forever as a family. I love the quote you have posted, what joy it is for us all to know we have all our family and friends waiting as if they were right across the street for us to get to them someday safely and in their arms once again. We send our love to you guys and I still have a card with a little something in it for you guys.....we sure do love you and think of you often.
I love you Steph!! You and Tahsha are amazing women and I'm lucky to have you in my life!! I love that quote
