| Brandon and Bradley, I also worked with your Dad and Royce and was blessed to have met your Mom as well as you boys on several occasions. Billy and I talked alot of our children and family. He was a very good friend to me. I always looked forward to the Holidays as your Mom always sent in an extra pumpkin roll for me. My heart goes out to both of you and your family. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. |

| I wanted to let you know my prayers will be with you. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Recently, I got to talk with your Mom and Dad at our meal at the Covington Beef House. I want you to know how much you both meant to them. They talked about all the things you are both involved in and the things you have accomplished. They were so proud of you. Your accomplishments prove what wonderful parents and people they were. I am sure you will both continue on your paths as they would hope. They loved you both very much. Working with Beth, it was easy to see she was a person of character and integrity. She was always kind and family was very important to her. |

| I want you to both know you are in my family's thoughts and prayers. Your parents were always there for us. We have great memories of school and Scout activities with your family and ours. I feel lucky to have been a friend to your parents. If I can ever be of help please call. They raised a couple of great guys and instilled values for establishing goals and reaching them. |

| My deepest sympathy to you both and to your family. I am so sorry that you have to go through this. Your mother was one of the kindest, sweetest women I have ever had the pleasure to work with. As you know, I worked with the Athletic Office while I taught at Mooresville HS, and she coordinated and organized the special events with me.
You would never see your mom without a smile on her face. She was always very encouraging. She was truly a great woman, and will be missed.
You boys were your parents greatest joy. I know you will continue to make them proud. Be strong and trust in your faith.
With love and concern, |

| I have worked with your mother a few times as an athletic boosters volunteer at Southmont. Your mother was always so pleasant and cheerful. Your dad always seemed to come and help out too. He was a real character and just a real cutup from what I saw of him. Keep all those memories close to your heart as they will sustain you in the days to come. |
