Subject: BRAD - Website (www.bradkoster.com)

 

TO ALL: Several very remarkable things are currently happening. BRAD's friends & High School are setting up an Endowment Fund in BRAD's memory and a Website has been created in BRAD's Honor / www.bradkoster.com. This is quite an incredible undertaking and we are so proud that his friends feel compelled to do this in BRAD's memory.

 

There have been numerous positive things that have come from BRAD's fight and death with Cancer the past (5) months. Relationships between parent / child have been enhanced, Cancer Awareness, donations for Cancer research and a greater appreciation of life and a better respect for human nature to pull together in difficult times to help one another. There is a lot of information on this Website: please feel free to share this with anyone you think would find this meaningful and interesting.

 

We have delayed sending this notice out due to the terrible events in N.Y. / D.C. For the thousands of people who will now have to cope with their loss of a loved one, we hope someway they can find something positive during their grieving process as we have done. It's a bit ironic, we spent most of our time from the 1st of April to mid-July in Manhattan at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center just a couple of miles north of the World Trade Center for BRAD's cancer treatments. We saw these buildings (Twin Towers) quite often, and actually were on the observation deck of the WTC in late June. The loss of these lives and the WTC landmarks are just a reminder of how fragile life can be.

 

Today is BRAD's birthday (9/17) he would have turned 23. Elaine and I want to again thank all of you for the support during this period, we have literally received hundreds of cards, letters, and e-mails, and we appreciate them all so very much!

 

We would ask you to support Cancer research whenever possible!

 

Regards,

Elaine & Randy
