Dee, please accept my deepest and heartfelt sympathy at the death of your wonderful son. Bryant always had a smile no matter how much pain he was in. I feel like I have a guardian angel now in heaven. May God bless you and give you peace and strength during your time of sorrow. I know that Bryant loved you and his son Alexander more than any thing else in the world.
Sincerely,

My prayers are with your family, especially Alexander. I was his teacher this year. I pray that he is strong through all of this. I am saddened because school is out and I won’t be able to see him again. I was very lucky to have gotten to know him. I will truly miss him– he is a very good boy. I hope that he keeps in touch with me. God bless you, Alex.
