Dale, Lisa, & family. I can honestly say that I understand your pain. It hasn't been a year since my mom passed away March 13, 2015. It's been two years this past January 13 that my sister passed away. I want you to know I'm very sorry I could not attend Todd's service. As you may or may not know I live three hours away and had to work. I have a lot of great memories from being in school with Todd and hanging around the same friends. I have always thought a lot of the Bruns family. Todd always had the most kind hearted and genuine smile when he greated people he knew. I pray that you all will be comforted with Gods grace & love. My heart truly breaks for each one of you. He was truly a special person and will be missed .
Much love to you all, Dara Williams Overman
Dale, Lulu and I want to extend our deepest sympathy to you. John

I am so sorry to hear of your loss . Recently I lost my dear grandmother and found great comfort in the words of Jesus at John 11:11-14, where he likens death to being asleep, and at John 5:28,29 - "All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
Beverly, Dale, Lisa, Laura and family, I am deeply saddened to learn of Todd's passing. It seems as though when a friend leaves us, they take part of us with them. It is certainly true with Todd. He was a very good friend for a long time. I regret I will be unable to make his memorial however I will be there in spirit. My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to you all and your family.
Sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.

We are at a loss for words! Our hearts are broken! Growing up together and spending countless hours together has made me the person I am today! All of the memories that we've shared together can never be taken away and I am forever grateful that we were able to walk down memory lane again this past weekend! Even in your final days, you were making me laugh! You were the brother I never had and I love you dearly!
