When life seems overwhelming, when nothing seems to make sense, when pain seems too great to bear, when you have only questions and no answers, please know our prayers are with you. May God's peace wrap 'round your hearts.

I just got back from your angels absolutely BEAUTIFUL funeral service. Angela and Chris, you did an amazing job sharing your testimony! I felt odd not clapping after it because I thought you deserved a great round of applause. Your words were spoken so well and had so much truth behind them!! The love in the room could be felt all the way to the back row where I was sitting! Ashley I wanted to stand up to give you a standing ovation after you sang. That took a lot of courage darling! It is amazing what God can do to give us strength to get through another super tough day. May God continue to surround you with comfort through the next several months and years, Show your family members signs of peace that everything is going to be ok and to continue to be a super tight family who is together through thick and thin!

~An Angel in the Book of Life wrote down Bradley Christopher Allen's birth. And whispered, as she closed the book, "Too Beautiful for Earth."~

I live in Colorado, friends with Toni Carracio-Bast. I am not sure what to say except I am so sorry for your families grief and loss. You are obviously wonderful parents from what I've seen and heard. A weight has been lifted and a light has replaced it. He will always be by your families side, guiding and encouraging. What a gift your boy is/was for this world. May you all have peace that he is in the warmth of the arms of god.
