I just wanted you to know I am thinking of your family at this time of loss and that I know how hard it is. My Dad (Fred Stewart) has been gone 3 years and I lost my Mom last week (8-25-08). What I do know is, she's with my Dad and they are watching over me. I know they were there to greet Jason, and to tell everyone what a wonderful TOMCAT is was. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God watch over you and comfort you.

My brother is Michael Bradley and my parents are Lawrence and Shelia Bradley. Michael and Jason were like brothers growing up and I never saw another football player like him. He was loved like one of the family. We still find it difficult to believe. It is hard just to write all of this out. He will be greatly and sadly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his parents, loved ones and his many friends. May The Lord be with you during this difficult journey.....With lots of prayers, the Bradley Farmily
