I just received a text message from Brad (Limitool) telling me that his' wife Bonnie is in the ICU in the Hospital and it does not look good. He wrote that she was having trouble breathing Friday and having more trouble Saturday and 911 was called and she was taken to the hospital. Brad promised to call me to give me an update when possible but she currently cannot stand, sit up and cannot talk because it lowers her oxygen levels. Bonnie is such a kind, gracious, giving and loving person who would help anyone in need. She has welcomed me into her' and Brad's home (I believe) 5 times now and they have fed me, provided me a room to sleep, lots of friendship and conversation, advice and the love of very special friends and I am not the only one they have wlecomed into their' home. Please pray for Bonnie that the Lord will heal her and get her back home and please pray for Brad and their' whole family that they will be able to get through these sad and stressful times.

I am so sorry, I met Brad a few years ago. Brad you need me, I'll be there ASAP, and tomorrow is NOT too soon. My friend, you have seen too much already - remembering back a few years here. I'm right here, just holler. One good and very decent human being = Brad.

For those who do not remember, Brad lost his daughter and grandson in an auto accident about 4 years ago now.

I am so very sorry to tell you all that Brad text messaged me at 12:23 PM EDT and told me that Bonnie had been moved to Comfort Care and the Doctor said that she will pass soon. I was on my way back from Sweetwater, Tennessee where I looked at a Ford Ranger that is being auctioned off and had to stop at a Truck Stop to regain my composure after reading the text message. While there, I called Brad who was apparently crying and in so much grief, so we only talked for a short time. Bonnie's kids and grandkids are on their way down from Michigan and Brad hopes they make it down to see her before she passes. He is not sure if and when there will be a Memorial for her but she requested to be cremated. I will keep you all updated when I hear more.

Probably very few members here ever had a chance to meet Brad. I'm one of the lucky ones.

I've met and have known thousands of people. Brad is one of the finest men I've ever met. I'm so sorry about this, he'd lost too much already.

He needs friends around him now. Father please be there for Brad.

And Frank, thank you so much for keeping us aware of what's going on.

I have spoken with Brad many times on the phone, always planned to visit him. Great personality, humor and willingness to help others. He taught me more about archery over the phone, and here on T-net then anyone ever could in person.

God bless and Thoughts and prayers.

Quite the couple , Bonnie and Brad.
Deep and I did get to meet them a while back. Smiles all around.

Sometimes a spouse is such a positive anchor for the heart/soul the thought of losing them is overwhelming.
Such an example here.
Losing them is a whole nother story.

huntsman: Let us know if there is a need we can fill. Through P.M. or whatever.
Understandably I didn't get ahold of Brad but left a message.

Thanks everyone for the outpouring of love and friendship for such wonderful two people and their families during this sorrowful time. I wish that I could be there during this time to lend support to Brad but between Bonnie's kids and grandkids and Brad's kids and grandkids, he is going to have his' hands full with more than a full house of family swarming him and a lot of emotions. When I talked with Brad, I told him that I truly believe that Bonnie started going downhill when Kristi and Carter got killed on I-65 in Franklin, TN in February 2015 and then the pain that she was in from the neck surgery from two years ago along with her back pain, put her in a further downhill spiral with her health. I promise to update everyone on any news as soon as I get it from Brad. I just ask and pray that the TNET family will give Brad as much support as possible because he is going to need all the support he can get. He tries to put on a brave face but he is hurting now, just like he was hurting when Kristi and Carter were killed because I heard it in his voice when I talked with him and once Bonnie does pass, he is going to hurt so much more. When things are a little less hectic and less overwhelming for Brad, it is my hopes to travel back out to Centerville just to show him support and let him know that I am there if he ever needs me but won't stay long unless he asks me to.
