2020 Holiday Heartlight has given 57 children the joy of choosing a holiday gift for themselves by providing a $25 gift certificate to each one...with a candy cane for a sweet New Year!

Your birthday, precious Brad, is the perfect day to say that Holiday Heartlight 2019 has been launched by Chief Elf Aunt Helene, Dad, our dear friend Mary, her pal Benjy, and me. Your smile and blythe spirit remain the essence of all we do for so many children in need. With our Forever Love!!!

In all of you is all of me
So do not cry when I must leave
For though you will feel certain pain
Please try not to grieve
For I am not where you think I am
I lie not in the ground
I am still engaged in life
But now I'm all around
I am the oak, the mighty oak
That grows toward the sky
I am the river that runs so wide
You see, I didn't die
So do not stand around my grave
And weep with guilt and fear
For I will always be around
And I'll always be quite near
Do not forget the lessons of life
The writing on the wall
For these are the times that you must face
The toughest of them all
Realize that you are not alone
Realize that neither am I
Do not feel compelled to weep
It’s alright not to cry
So do not dwell upon my grave
I am never there
I am the trees, the grass, the sea
I am the life-giving air.

Brad you are missed every day.

Darling Brad: Our love for you is Forever and Ever and Even Longer! We honor your Blythe Spirit & Zest for Life by sharing presents with disadvantaged children to brighten their Holiday as you have brightened our lives. Family & friends have wrapped all the presents and added candy canes as Chief Elf Helene decided so many years ago. Our hearts are filled with gratitude that you filled our lives and hearts with your wonderful smiles and awesome ideas for racing through your life! With Our Forever Love, Mom & Dad

When a family is blessed with a blythe spirit from God, as ours was, we celebrate our forever love for Brad by sharing joy and laughter and fun with children who cannot race through their happiest wishes as our precious son did. May we honor our love for Brad by continuing to spread joy to others!! With Our Forever Love, Mom and Dad
