Message from Rick and Kim Sanders

Jason, Celia, and Boys, Our deepest sympathies are with you. Brody was a shining light that will now light Heaven with his beautiful smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you forever.

Message from SH

I am very sorry for your lost. May the words found in Jeremiah 29:11 comfort you. It tells us that our loving God wants us to have peace and not calamity, he wants us to have a future and a hope free from sickness and death. Jesus said to the evil doer, "you will be with me in paradise." This future includes a resurrection of all those who have died.  We will be reunited with our families under paradisiac conditions. May these words comfort you as they have me.

Message from Janet Godby

Dear Celia, You may not remember me; I taught business classes at Blue River Career Center when your mother was the Assistant Director there. As Brody has battled his various health battles, he and your family have been in our prayers, as they continue to be now. May you find peace in knowing that he is at peace.
Sincerely, Janet Godby

Message from Daniel Skora

I had been following Brody's story through the Meade family and through the page for years. My heart is broken for you all. I finally got to meet him last year in the Child Life Zone a few times and again in his room for some play therapy. I am glad to have spent time with such a spunky, wonderful, heartwarming little boy. I wish I had a picture to share. Sending love to your family and close friends.

I can't believe you're gone. Fly high, buddy. As high as you can. You lit up the world. You impacted way more lives and inspired way more people than you'll ever know. I hope that the Warriors go all the way for you this year. I will be up in the sky on a plane visiting you on Sunday. <3

Daniel

Jason and family,
As you know our family has suffered the loss of a child twice and there are no words that can fill the hole in your world. I hate that you all are going through this. Hang on to your family and focus on the good times. That little guy certainly made a lot of incredible memories for you to look back on. Love India and Jeff
