Hey Carol,
Just wanted to pass along thanks for visiting with Debbie. She is a very good friend of a close co-worker. My co-worker just told me the story this morning. Debbie was so grateful for you taking time to share with her. Brady continues to inspire all of us in little ways. I'm so proud to know him and your family. God Bless you all this Thanksgiving!!!--mary

I am a student out at SCC and saw Brady the other day in the hall. Brady has no idea who I am personally, but just wanted to let him know, as he was walking down the hall he stands proud with a smile on his face which in turn makes everyone else smile. You would have no idea that he was ever in a accident unless told. He looks WONDERFUL! What a turn around! I have followed this website since the accident and am very happy for Brady and the family! Thanks for making my day just by seeing you smile!

My family was there that night two years ago, Brady. We have prayed for you and your family and have watched your remarkable progress since. All of you have been inspirations to us. We just wanted you to know that we support your latest decision about the lawsuit. It is the right thing to do. I'm glad there are now ambulances at LPS football games. I just wish there had been one there that night. I remember thinking it took forever for them to get there. We will continue to keep you in our prayers. You have truely shown us how effective the power of prayer can be.

Hey, Brady!

When I was a sohomore in college, 1966, one morning my roommate and I decided the Red Rider bus was too full to ride from East Campus to our class on City Campus, so, I drove. At 27th & Holdrege I rear-ended a car, which banged into the car in front of it, all occupied by East Campus students. The police called it negligent driving. These days we call those "dumb ass attacks!" My point is those things happen and they have nothing to do with having a head injury. Welcome to the world the rest of us live in; don't beat yourself into thinking this is a mark on your recovery. You are just like the rest of us. Hang in there.

I was at Madonna recently as a patient and shared time in therapy at the same time as Brady. I suffered a severe brain injury as well and the people at Madonna deserve way more than they make I'll just say that. I have never been so humbled, you see the face of God there daily. Anyway, I was incredibly impressed to see how well Brady is doing and how chipper he was when he was there. Learning to appreciate the things that we have always taken for granted is very hard to explain to people. Change always happens for a reason and the Lord never gives us bigger challenges than we are capable of so way to go Brady and keep getting stronger.

I was reading your yearbook signing from 6th grade the other day, and youre just as encouraging now as you were then-- youve always been such an amazing friend and example to your peers.

Hey Brady and the whole Beran Bunch -- I'm glad Carol is continuing to write -- it is good for all of us to see that Brady is still working hard. It is a good reminder for me and my family to continue praying for Brady and his rehabilitation. Maybe Brady should be in some kind of study on the benefits of Halo-playing!
Christlight magazine featuring Mr. Brady and Company is going to the printer this week. Copies should be available soon. If anyone "out there" would like to receive a copy of Brady's story in his church's magazine, you can e-mail me. It is a nice compilation of his story and pictures of Brady, his family and his church family.
God bless you all! Lots of Love, Amy Killham

Brady,
Playing a team sport is a funny thing. You start to believe that your "love of the game" comes from the actual game itself. But it seems to me that your love of sports doesn't come from the sport, it comes from the team. Sports are fun because of the friendships that you foster through the team. Think of all the friends that you've played sports with (Quin, Jordan, Devin, etc...). Don't you have just as much (or more) fun with them off the field? NO physical disability can take those friendships away from you.

You have a great love of sports (no one would deny that) but you have a greater love of people. That love will carry you well beyond the sports arena.

Carol,
You questioned whether this was the the correct venue to clarify your legal actions, detailed recently in the paper. I say YES. After all your family has been through, I DO NOT understand people who would lash out at you. If only they could walk in your shoes... It is important for your family to explore your legal options, not only for Brady, but for any young man in the LPS system playing a contact sport. Hopefully your comments here will help educate some of those small minded people.

Brady,
You and I spent many a night together in the ICU at BryanLGH West. I think of you often and wonder how you are getting along. It's odd really, spending so many hours with a person, "bonding" with them, caring for them, praying for them yet knowing that the other person will never have any memory of it at all. We think of our patients years after they have left our bedside. Just as I have continued to think of you.
I had forgotten about this web site and just found it again tonight---I am delighted to read that you are improving daily. I wish you and your family only the best. We have you in our thoughts and prayers,

So, glad you are progressing so well. You might be a better driver than 95% of the kids out there because you will concentrate better. I'm sure when you go to the gym at East that what the guys are doing there seems like nothing much considering what you have had to do. So glad you are doing the things that your peers are doing. Have a good rest of the summer.

You have some very truthful comments at the end of your last update. I think that before your injury, you had a lot of things in perspective in the first place. God knew what He was doing. Already, you've brought a lot of people, both young and old (er), closer to God, and friends have learned to treasure each other.

With all the anger and negativity in our world today - you're courage and faith bring hope to so many people you will never know you have touched. Many thanks to your parents for keeping up the journal - it is always wonderful to read of your progress - both physically, mentally and spiritually. You will continue to be in my prayers - God bless you and your family.

Brady it is great to be alive! I have watched/seen your progress at Madonna. I too have rehab'd at Madonna both as an inpatient and outpatient and see you every time I go to Madonna. Keep your positive attitude; I know you will achieve your goal of making it all the way back and graduate next spring. We'll exchange high fives in the halls of Madonna. Keep inspiring everyone you cross paths with; you make a difference for others every day. Keep the faith! Butch Bahe (I'm the one in the "temporary" wheelchair; God too kept me alive for a reason)

As I was standing in the Library at West Holt High School today I glanced over at the newspaper and saw a picture of a guy dancing with a girl so i figured it was prom so I picked up the newspaper to read what it was about.It was the article on Brady. I hadn't heard what had happened until my brother came home and was talking to my dad about it. I was really moved by your story and I just wanted to congratulate you on your successes through the past year. You are an awesome guy to not give up and keep on soaring for the best! I wish the best for you and your family and never forget your accomplishments. You are in my prayers everyday! God Bless

Today at lunch i talked to Brady for the very first time. I didn't know him before everything happened and I'm sure he doesn't know me now either. But now everyone is saying how outgoing he is and it really showed today. After lunch I was at my locker with my friend and Brady was walking down the hall and talking to one of his closer friends and my friend and I were laughing at what they were saying and so he just came up to us and talked to us, and it honestly made me want to cry! I was just so overwhelmed with emotion with how wonderful our lord is and how something so small as laugher can bring people together. <3

Hi Brady, I saw your article in the newspaper yesterday and read your mom's update on you (which I read often) and smiled. For a long time I have known your dad and mom and I have been a member of the Kings Men of Christ the King or the Pink Sisters church. I have prayed for you and have given prayer requests everytime I go to the Pink Sisters. Please believe that their prayers are powerful and are answered. We remember you at every meal and all six of my children remember you at their bedtime prayers. Keep up the good work Brady, and always trust in Jesus.

God Bless.......

Dear Brady and Family,
It lightened my day to read that article in the Journal Star yesterday. Just seeing your picture made me smile. I don't know if Mr. Beran (Tom) remembers but I'm the one who brought the picture of the train tracks to the hospital. I don't know if you still have it but I hope it has been a source of inspiration for you. You look awesome Brady and I hope I get to see you again soon! YLL is finishing up our service project. We are using money from selling purple bracelets to give to the brain trauma unit at Madonna and also plan to do some type of volunteer work at Madonna. We all hope you can help with it, especially since Madonna has practically been a second home for you. Take Care and God Bless!

Hi - I really don't know your family, but I read about Brady's injury in the paper when it happened. I'm just a mom from Omaha whose son is in middle school and starting to get more involved in athletics. As a mom, my heart wept when I heard about the injury and when I've been reading about the struggles during recovery. As a child of God, I'm so encouraged by the progress being made despite seemingly great odds. God is so good! I will continue to pray for all of you during this time.

Hey I just want to say I had fun eating lunch with Brady today. I never really knew who he was but I supported him through all this time and it is cool to see how much support people have for someone. Then I find him sitting today with me and 4 other freshman girls eating lunch, a memory I will always have. Ecspecially when he felt the need to tell me to see what the lunch lady was doing and while I looked away he swiped my starbursts away from me I look back and he had a big smile on his face. Today's lunch was the funnest ever. Thanks Brady!

Hang in there Brady. My son had a serious head injury in 1978 so I know what you are going through. It's a long, long road but it sounds as though you are a fighter. My son was in a coma two weeks, had to relearn everything he learned in school (he was almost 10 years old), became a leftie because of damage to right side, and so much more. Friends and family are a positive must for recuperation.

Hey Brady,
This is my 3rd time signing this thing. Head Trauma does take along time. My car accident was almost 3 years ago and im still improving. I had a skull fractor from ear to ear and it messed up my eye vision and the nerves in the left side of my face.My eyes are pretty much back to normal but i cant smile. My left side of my face doesnt go up. So i look like a freak. But owell!! Im so glad to hear that you are finally home. I hope someday i will beable to get to meet you. Good Luck with everything. Take Care.

Hey Brady!
I signed the guest book once a loooonnnnggg time ago, but thought you might be able to use some more encouragement! It sounds like you are really making a lot of progress and that's great! I am proud to say I know you! You have really inspired a lot of people so keep up the good work.

When you're feeling up to it you can join my new small group Bible Study. I don't know if it will make any difference, but there are 4 cute girls in it. ;) We could use some of your insight.

Adam and I continue to pray for you and your family!

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I'm sorry this is such a long entry.. this is one of my very favorite songs by Casting Crowns, called The Voice Of Truth, whenever i'm in a place where i feel stuck and feel like there is no strength to accomplish my goals i think of this song and it reminds me of how the lord put me here to try my very hardest. Brady, you are such a dedicated follower of God, and it is amazing to hear of your positive attitude everyday. As long as you keep taking one step at a time in your recovery, with the best outlook possible, i have faith that you will recover soon, and your positivity gives so many people something to look upon for courage. To me, you are like this song because there are so many ways you could look at this, but you choose to see the voice of truth, and that is beautiful. well, i was just writing to say I'm thinking about you and i wish you all well.

We are all so thankful that God has continued to bless and protect Brady and all of the Beran's. We shouldn't be surprised at His blessings on Brady's recovery, but we still are in such awe. We all still vividly remember that night so long ago our family huddled in the kitchen, praying that Brady would make it through the night. We know it hasn't been an easy path, but through your faith, the prayers of many, and God's grace, the Brady we all remember and love is shining through everyday. May your Christmas be extra special and may God continue to bless you greatly.

Madonna is a great place to be and it sounds like they are working you really hard. We have never met, but from what I gather you were always pushing yourself hard to do your best and it doesn't sound like any of that has changed.

I don't know if you still remember me, but I want you to know that I am still praying for everything to workout the way that you want it to be. I think that you are a very kind person, and for some reason people with a kind heart their wishes always comes true. It was great getting to know you.

Hey Brady,
You have no idea who I am, but I difinitely know who you are. I have heard from so many people you are such an awesome person. I am a freshman at East, and go to your church, and every week in youth group, we continue to pray for you and a speedy recovery. I can't wait to meet you when you return. God is doing wonders for you everyday, and I praise and thank him for that. You will never realize how many people in Lincoln, at church, and at East are praying for you right now. It is truly amazing. I know it is difficult to find a "silver lining" in this whole experience, but one thing that you have done, is bring so many people into the word of Christ. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
May God bless you and your family.

Brady and all the Berans,
We are so proud of how well all of you are running the "marathon". So sorry it had to be this way, but so happy that Brady is getting better! Always remember that God has a plan for everything, that He works for the GOOD of those who love Him, even when we can't see why this path was better for us. The disciples thought that Jesus dying on the cross was the most horrible thing that could have ever happened . . only to find that it was actually God's greatest plan ever!! May it be so with Brady's path. We love each of you very much and miss you too!! May God bless your family immensely through this trial and bring you closer to each other and to Him!
Love,

So glad to hear that you have been relieved of some of your stomach pain. Not having to deal with that frees you to concentrate on your other goals.
Think of you often.

Hey Brady,
Just want ya to know we are all still thinking and praying about you daily. My smile is cheek to cheek to hear about how good your recovery is coming. Mike has been pwning noobs on the map dust lately, I think he raised his rank on the server from 3 to 1. So he's been pretty happy as long as the people aren't hacking. Since I know your Mom and Dad reads this website to ya, was wondering if you remember back in freshmen year when I missed a ton of school, and Mr. Crew always called me Apollo Slacker(good pun). Even though you've missed a little school I still don't think you can break my record =).

Keep up the good work Brade,
Apollo

Hey, I was reading through the guest book and saw my sister had signed, and I figured I couldnt be outdone by a younger sibling! :) Naw, I'm glad she did. I guess I could say the norm, that you've heard over and over, but we really are praying for you and what is there really that is more helpful becuase God really does have control. We are all counting it a blessing that you are doing so well. We miss you in Precal, and ap psych. keep it up! God bless.

Brady,
I am so thrilled and amazed at your progress. I check the website every day to find out how things are going for you and your family. I am not at all surprised, however, by how well you are doing. Even when there has been a set back you have gotten through it. I have also enjoyed reading that you still have your fun personality and good sense of humor. That was one of the many things that I admired about you way back when you were in the 5th grade at Morley. You were also very determined to do your best, and I can tell that you still are. Keep working hard and remember how much we all care for you. You and your family are continuously in my thoughts and prayers.

Tom and Family,

I can't imagine the emotions you have been experiencing these last few months as you are trying to deal with your son's health.

Although I don't know you away from the railroad the few times we have talked at work taught me that you are someone who is very strong and a joy to be around and I'm sure your persona is appreciated by all those in your family and especially your son.

Wishing you all the best and especially a complete recovery for your son.

Brady-
Whenever I think about you, there is this one verse that always comes to my mind... But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. -2 Corinthians 12:9-10... That last sentence sums it all up. FOR WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG. Brady God choose his stongest son, you, because He knew that you would bring people to Him. When we are at the weakest point in our life, we are the strongest that we could ever be because we rest on Him. And God gives us the strength to keep going on.

It is so incuraging to hear the progress Brady has been making. Not a day goes by I don't think of him, and realize how precious life is, and how easy it is to take for granted. I have been praying a lot to God for a speedy recovery. You are so strong Brady, it is unbelieveable. You are such a nice person and a great friend, I don't think you will ever know how much you mean to everyone. I will keep praying, and hopefully this recovery of yours will soon pick up even more than it has been, and you can finally return to East. Always in my prayers.

Brady, you do not know me but I have followed your story thru the paper and what a faith you have along with your family. You Brady are well beyond your years. On this Thanksgiving as I celebrate the 1st Thanksgiving of my son, Jordan who had a brain tumor in heaven; I know that even in suffering there is thankfullness. You give many people like myself courage to face the next day with God's help. The importance of prayer for people we do not even know is so great. When we look to heaven.....earth looks small, and I only hope that some day a can met the boy named Brady Beran, who I call my hero. The hero that never quits trying. God Bless you Brady!

Hey Brady,
Just thought I'd write again since so much has been happening with your recovery. I love hearing about all your progress and the way you are continuing to fight. At the rate you've been improving it still doesn't surprise me, I know you to well to think you wouldn't be doing as good as you are. You aren't just on the people's minds that are close to you but you've touched so many people who are always asking and wondering about how you're doing. What you're doing is simply amazing and we somewhat realize how hard this is for you and how tired you're getting through all this but alls I can say is just keep it up and you know you've got everyone praying for you. Carol, Tom, Matt, Casey, and Joe you guys are handling this so well and I can't imagine what it's like for you to witness what Brady has been achieving through all this and we are all still supporting you all the way. Also, thank you for taking the time to write to everyone about Brady's progress, everyone appreciates the updates you're giving us. Brady, I miss you man and we are all still praying for you and can't wait to see you with all of us again.

Brady,
You don't know me, but I graduated from East last year and heard about what you've been going through. I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you! Romans 5:3-4 says, "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance; perserverance, character; and character, hope."

Just thought this verse would be an encouragement to you all. Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Keep perservering!!!

Hey Brady
I just thought I'd write in here again to let you know that I'm still thinking and praying for you each and every day. I check this website every day to hear about any news on you and I am so astonished at how fast you are recovering. I consider myself so lucky to have gotten to know you so well in such a short time and I look forward to the next time I'll get to see you and give you a high five. It makes me feel better knowing that this will happen in no time given the rate you are recovering. You're doing a great job and keep up that good attitude. I couldn't be more proud of you! I love you Brades and hopefully I'll be seeing you soon.
Love, Laura

Tom, Carol, Brady and the whole Beran family,

I signed the guestbook when it was first started. We have been following your progress everyday. Always look forward to your updates, Carol. It feels like every victory Brady has, is a victory for all of us, especially for our family. We lost our oldest son in a car accident last Dec. 27th. He was 21. We have been praying everyday that Brady would pull through and it sounds like he is doing great!! We look forward to the day that he will be home with you again. God Bless.

Brady, I've been following your recovery since the beginning out here at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. My brother Natie keeps me posted and he told me there was a website dedicated to you with updates so that I can follow you. I'm prayin for you all the time and I cannot believe all that you have had to go through. My mom sent me a Brady Bunch t-shirt that I wear all the time around campus with pride. When people ask me about the shirt I tell them your story. I'm prayin for your recovery and a lot of guys on my floor are always askin me how you are doing. God bless your family and all that they are going through. I can't say enough about your character and your potential. Keep up the recovery and I'll be praying for you from Nashville. God Bless buddy.

I heard about you through the Nebraska District Lutheran Church Missouri Synod newsletter! It's always a joy to hear of recovery success after an accident. I'm sure it's tough being patient, thinking you're progress is slow, but to those of us who are watching what you're doing, it's a miracle, the steps that you have taken. As you know prayer is so powerful. You can be sure you will get the end result. Just continue being strong and keep the faith.
You'll make it!! God be with you! I'll keep you in my prayers.

Hello Carol, Tom, and Brady,
You don't know us but we have been following the progress Brady has made on the internet and have been praying for his recovery, and for the strength you need to get thru this trying time.
On June 20th, 2004, our 16 yr old daughter Meghan had a bad car accident, she was life flighted to Bryan west with no blood pressure but no internal injuries either other than cuts and bruises to the face and body, a broken jaw and a TBI. She was in a level II coma, no feeling, no smelling only random movements on her left side. She had a vent and a feeding tube when we were transferred to Madonna. Her feeding tube somehow also became dislodged, luckily it only cost her another 4 days in ICU.
The doctors and nurses at Bryan were great. The doctors, nurses and therapists at Madonna are great, and they really do seem to do miracles, and we are so lucky to have a place like this in Nebraska.
Meghan was discharged from inpatient on Sept. 8th; she started 1/2 days of school on Sept. 9th. We go to outpatient therapy at Madonna 3 days a week, so if you ever want to visit with us, let Peggy or Sig know, or E-mail us. For us, it was encouraging to visit with others who had gone through what we were going through and did well.
For us, Madonna became a home and the Chapel, a very important place, for I believe for these types of injuries, prayer is the most important and attitude is the 2nd most important thing that will get you and Brady through these times.
We will keep you in our prayers,
Greg and Peggy Fiala, and family.

Dear Carol and Tom,
It's a miracle how far Brady has come from last week smiling to three days later walking! Please know that for everyday someone has been at bedrest they become very weak and I typically tell my patients that it takes three days for each day in bed to regain strength. Just standing in place right now is helping Brady regain strength. I was amazed to hear he took 25 steps, that had to take a lot of determination on his part. Hang in there. We continue to pray for you and Brady.

Hi Brady. If you're reading this yourself it has probably been a long time since the injury. From reading your parent's most recent journal entries progress is steady but painfully slow right now. I think that you will one day look back on this time as Paul said believers in heaven will look back on their time on earth - as if looking back through a vapor or mist, wondering if it was all real... You have a great family and a greater God. May you spend the rest of your life growing closer to both...

Brady, Brady, Brady...
I know that right now you are trying so hard to get back on your feet-literally. I pray for you every day, and so does just about everyone else here at Lincoln Lutheran. O yea, and then there's everyone at church, everyone in the city of Lincoln, and the rest of the nation too!. You must know by now all of the people that have been praying for you all along. Can you believe that so much has been accomplished by God through all of this? It's amazing! When your accident first happened all I could think was, God has too much in store for Brady-He can't die now. I see now why this happened. I'm so glad that you're going to be okay. You've come so far already, and I know you still have a long way to go, but you'll make it. You're the strongest person on this Earth right now with all the power you have through God. It's been that way the whole time too Brady. Since you first were in the hospital, so many prayers were being said for you. I absolutely cannot wait until you walk through that youth room door, and I can see your Brady smile again. You're such an inspiration. God loves you, and so does everyone else! Blessings!

As someone who has had to learn to walk again after a surgery, I know what you're going through. It can get frustrating when your body doesn't move like you want it to. Your legs will be back underneath you before you know it. Keep up the good work. Your next slice of pizza is on me.
Later,

And I know you have been raised with a strong faith, a strong family, and an incredible support group surrounding you. "God will make a way when there seems to be no way." He is most certainly guiding you step by step on your journey. My thoughts and prayers go to all of the Beran family as you take one day at a time through this amazing journey before you.

Greetings to the Beran family from Hebron!

I want to let you all know that you continue to be in the prayers of many. I know first hand how long recovery can be from head injuries. My 22 year old son, Chadd, suffered a TBI in September of 1996. He was 14 at the time and raced dirt bikes. He came down off a jump wrong and fell about 15 feet onto his head. He, too, was a patient at Madonna and I agree it is a wonderful facilty.

Chadd has basically fully recovered from his accident. There are some slight residual effects noticed only by those close to him. They consist primarily of becoming easily frustrated and at times, angered. He sometimes has difficulties understanding detailed things (like insurance coverage--but then, who doesn't! Ha!) and doesn't always like to ask for help. But he usually relies on close friends and family if he needs help. He lives now in Phoenix and works for a cement company. He loves his job (especially since they gave him his own truck!) and he loves hunting. In fact, he is coming this weekend for about 10 days of Nebraska hunting with his brother. He and his dog fly in Friday evening.

Chadd was very involved in all sports at the time of his accident. Probably the hardest thing after the initial healing was not being able to play contact sports again, due to the increased risk of repeat injury. It was at this time that he really focused on hunting and has been an avid hunter and cook ever since.

To you Brady, and your parents, just focus on today. Work hard and rejoice in all your accomplishments! You all can do this, and will find the needed strength to overcome any obstacle that may come your way.

Best wishes for your continued recovery!

Sincerely,

Kathy Priefert

What a wonderful sigh of relief that Brady has been moved to Madonnna. I know that this is just one of many stepping stones to cross on a long path toward recovery, but Gods light is surely shining to show the way. The whole world seems to being praying along with you. Though you don't realize it, Brady, you have become a messenger of God. You and your family, have helped to bring a community together, and you have helped to strengthen and renew faith in the Lord to many. It will be so wonderful when you awaken to see all the love, faith and community bonding that has come through all of this.
God Bless You

I thought I would write again because you are doing so much better and it makes me so happy. I told you that you could stay strong and pull through this. Today, on Halloween, Ali, Lindsay, Kaytlin, Emily, and I went around different neighborhoods asking for donations for the Brady Beran Trick or Treat. Every house we went to (that answered the door that is) gave a donation, and they all thought it was such a good cause. It is amazing how much you and your recovery has made such an impact on the people around town. We are all pulling for you Brady and we miss you alot! Come back soon! We love you!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Brady and the Beran family. I have never met you, but my son, Sean, had an accident in May, which resulted in traumatic brain injury. Glad to hear that he is getting closer to moving to Madonna--Sean was there, and it's an awesome place!!!

I am really glad to hear that you are doing alot better. I praying that your fever will go away so you could go to Madonna and be back soon. I really miss you. Cortney came in to where I work and she said your doing alot better, and I was so glad to hear that. Your always in my mind, at work, at school, when I go out with my friends,before I go to bed, etc. Even though I only knew you for about a year, I still feel that I knew you alot longer. Take care

Brady,
It is a tremendous honor to be able to call you my teammate, but even more amazing to be able to call you my friend. What happened to you is for a reason, and because God is behind it, that reason is good. God needed someone that was a christian, a great person, and very well respected to have the affect God wants. You were obviously the perfect candidate! You and the Lord are hand in hand performing miracles on peoples lives. You are a hero, not only to me, but to everyone that hears about this story. God Bless you,

Tom,Carol and family, I think of you several times every day. I pray for your physical, emotional and spiritual strength, I know how this affects a family, God will provide. If we can provide any measures of support beyond prayer, please let us know how we can help. I left a CD with Matt or Casey a few weeks back, I hope you will be able to play it for Brady, music is supposed to be helpful in recovery. I hope the music also brings comfort and hope to you. I just finished reading through most of the online journal entries... what a tremendous testimony of Brady's impact on his friends and their families for Christ. Please know that in our house the prayer's will keep flowing, and thank-you for the online updates, I will be checking the website regularly for Brady's continued recovery. With love, Chris McCurdy

Dear Brady and family:
Our prayers are with you daily....We have moved a few times since leaving Lincoln in 1995, but still have family there who keeps us up on things. My mother was up to see us in Minnesota recently and brought an article about a Lincoln East player who was injured in a football game. She brought the article because she worries about her grandsons who play football and soccer. Upon reading the article, my heart sunk, and the goosebumps grew. I realized that it was you, Brady, who the article was about. My son, Tyler Henrichs, played on the "Dream Team" soccer team with you and Quinn in the fall of 1994, coached by Mr. Kilgore. You and your family were so good to us during that time, and we feel truly blessed to know you.

I know God brought me that news through my mother that day for a reason. You needed more people to pray for you...and so we do.

God be with you all, Beran Family.
In faith,
Karen (Henrichs) Schoenberg & Tyler Henrichs

To the Beran Family,
I'm sure you'll probably remember me by my belt buckle I wore when I coached Casey and Brady a couple of years ago in wrestling there @ East! What great times! :) I have been keeping up to date on your condition through Coach McCurdy, and been praying for you a lot. I hope things continue to get better for you, and lead to a great recovery. God Bless you and your family.

Brady -
"Whatever happens, happens for a reason." I got this quote in an email once upon at time and think of it everytime something doesn't go quite as well as I'd like it too. It's kind of funny but, a week or so after I heard about you I was learning a flag routine for the marching competitions and now I think of you everytime I perform this one part of it. When you get better I'll have to show it to you. I think of you everyday and it gives me strength to get through the day, through good things and bad. Especially since many of our YLL VIII Class have been selling these purple rubber-band like bracelets in honor of you. The money for these $1 a piece bracelets is going to the Brain Trauma unit at Madonna. Hopefully much of this fundraiser will aid your recovery. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and I can't wait till the day when I get to see your "All-American guy" self again. God Bless!

Brady- I dont know know you half as well as many people in this guestbook. But I have heard and really believe that you are a wonderful person in all that you do. Every person I have talked to has nothing but praise and respect for you. It seems unfair for such a great person as yourself to be put into this kind of situation. But now your strength and preservence will be visivble even to us who you are unfamiler to. Know that my prayers are with you and your family and that God may be with you now and forever!

Braden~
You’re my hero. Your incredible strength is hard for me to grasp. Every time I hear of you getting better, it brings a smile to my face because I couldn’t think of you handling this situation any other way. In english class, we were asked to write about three values and how they partained to our life. I wrote about loneliness, inner strength, and faith. Then I wrote that I was taught all of these by you, Brady, and how much these mean to me. This situation has taught me what loneliness is like and I can’t wait until I can sit and laugh with you again. You have made everyone stronger through this and you have taught me more than I ever asked for. I wish I could do something to repay you for your blessings you have given me, but all I can do right now is pray. I am fine with that because I know that’s what you need most right now. Thanks you so much for everything and I love you so much!

Thanks so much for the update on Brady. We're thrilled that things are going better after his surgery and pray that he will continue to improve with each day. You all continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Not a day goes by that our family does not think of Brady and hope that at that moment, things are looking up! A heartfelt thanks for keeping folks posted on this site, I know it must be difficult to share "the latest news", it is so gracious of you to do so. Having spent months in the hospital with Molly when she was a toddler, we know that every day brings new blessings and challenges. There are lots of folks pulling for Brady and wanting to help in whatever way they can.
God Bless you all! Keep fighting Brady!!

Dear Brady and Family,
It must have been very scary on the sidelines that night. I am a physical therapist and help cover several local high school teams in football and other sporting ventures. It is so exciting to see these young men play as a team as well as grow into the special individuals God has made them to be. Every time I head to the field, I pray God will give me the knowledge and courage to take care of each individual in their time of need. I can only wish you the best and continue to pray that everyone will heal in time. I leave you with this..."God will put His angels in charge of you to protect you wherever you go." Psalm 91:11
Take care and God bless!

Keep Going

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When cares are pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a fellow turns about,
When he might have won, had he stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.


You are an inspiration to us all. Please, never lose faith and always keep going.

Please be comforted, knowing that every parent who knows of your situation is heart-to-heart with you every day and lifting you and your family up to God in prayer. The Lincoln Lutheran moms in Partners in Prayer continue to pray for Brady and your entire family. God is glorified through what has happened to Brady, and we pray that His miracle of complete healing will be known to many when Brady stands up and asks for that first piece of pizza!

Take your strength from His holy Word, especially Ps. 27:13-14: "I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." He will never leave you or forsake you.

Dearest Beran Family,
I sit down each night at the computor to write to you, and each night I sit stumped of just what to say. Its so hard to find the right words, I don't think that there really are any. I can't begin to tell you how often our family prays for all of you so many times each and every day. You are all constantly on our minds. Brady is such a fine and special young man, it is no wonder that his tragedy has effected this whole community. I am so glad that he and Holly have always been able to remain friends through the years, just the same with Lacey and Casey. The strength, love, integrity and faith that comes from you Carol and Tom, is the reason your sons are so special. We will continue to pray for Brady, as we will continure to pray that God keep you all strong for him.
God Bless you

I believe in the power of prayer. Brady has received and will continue to receive thousands. Many prayers have come from the people of Gretna alone. God speed the day when Brady opens his eyes and says-- Dad, did we win the game last night???

Brady~ We've never met but some how I feel a connection to you and your family. This is probably because our Lord Jesus Christ is sooooooo powerful! The way your accident has united not only all us students at East, but across the state only increases my belief in his majesty! I'm constantly praying that God may give you and your family the strength to get through these trying times.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)Trust the Lord with all your heart, and don't depend on your own uderstanding. Remember the Lord in all you do, and he will give you success.
May the Lord wrap his arms around your family! Good luck and God bless!:)
Your sister in Christ,

Brady family,
A few of us just wanted to let you know that you're in everyones prayers. Everybody loves you guys. We all hope for the best. A quick recovery is needed so Brady can get back to his dedicated friends who love him very much. You are in my prayers and thoughts.
We will never forget that night where one play could change so many people's way of life. It drew everyone closer in spirit and in friendship. We have used each other to get stronger and work through everything that is going on right now,we know you will get better and recover fully. We are all praying for you. Your story has touched the city, state, and even nation. I know this because on Fridays the school sells Brady Beran t-shirts and everyone across the nation is praying for you. Many of us play sports and can relate to your story. We'll keep preying for you and your family.

Dear Beran Family:

We have never met, but we also have a son that plays football for East. First, we want to tell you that Brady and your family are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Carol, we really appreciate you taking the time to write in the journal and update everyone on Brady’s condition. It allows us to focus prayer and thanks to God during Brady’s recovery.

During the long ride home from Norfolk last night, I felt compelled to get to my computer this morning and share with you and the other football parents that might be reading this guestbook some thoughts and feelings coming out of last night’s game.

The number of lessons that our boys have learned and continue to learn through this season of football is nearly overwhelming. God IS at work here, it is SO obvious! They have learned the raw pain of grief, but also of the awesome power of faith and hope. They have learned what it’s like to be truly afraid, but also of the great inner-strength that they each possess. They have learned that really bad things can happen to really good people but, through it all, God is with us. They have learned that sometimes in football, as in life, the scoreboard doesn’t always reflect the “true” winners.

Tom and Carol please know that you and Brady and your entire family will continue to be IN our minds and ON our hearts through the days and weeks to come. God bless you.

Dear Beran family, You are in our family's prayers and please know that the prayers of the many people out there will truly support you and comfort you at this time. And those prayers will play a huge role in Brady's recovery. We know this first hand - our son was 14 years old in 2001 when he suffered a TBI in the Seward school bus accident in Omaha. We were surrounded with prayer and know the power it played in sustaining us in those early days of his injury. Our son still goes to Madonna for out-patient therapy 2 times a week (Madonna will be a blessing to you), and his positive, determined, football 4th quarter never give up attitude has helped his recovery. And it sounds like Brady is the same kind of young man who will carry that kind of drive and determination into the weeks and months ahead. May the strength and comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ carry you and surround you and all your family as you truly live one day at a time. Don't be fearful of the future, just know that Jesus will be with you every step of the way.

I have been praying for Brady ever since I read about his accident on the online edition of the Omaha World Harold. My stepson (Tanner McVay) had a TBI from a rodeo accident on April 24, 2004 and just was released from Craig Rehabilitation Hospital today. He too required surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain. I know firshand how slow the progress may seem at times, but hope you can continue to find hope and promise in the "baby steps" (as we called them) that you will see almost every day. Please feel free to e-mail me any time. I will continue to pray, and to watch his progress on this web site. May God bless your family has he has blessed ours....

Brady, words can't describe the HUGE impact you've had on myself, as well as those around me. As I continue to think and pray for you every day, you've helped me to realize how much this has strengthened my sprirituality. What has happened has brought so many people together and it's incredible. We were all over at Jordan Bouwen's house last weekend and we watched the show that was made for you. It was really nice and I'm glad they made it. God is with you and your family and may he continue to strengthen and guide you every day. Hang in there buddy! Can't wait to see you again!

a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes where they experience peace, not of man but of angels.
Love them, Lord, when others cannot.
Hold them Lord, when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers and give them the ability to hear You back in whatever language they best understand"
YOU ARE ALL IN OUR PRAYERS.

Brady~
I graduated from East last year and am going to school in Oklahoma. I heard about your story from some friends soon after the incident, and have been thinking about you ever since. I was home over the weekend for fall break, and spent a day up at East. I was told that East had really pulled together to pray for you, and I had no idea how true that would be. As I walked into the school, there were signs all over the place. Everywhere I turned there was a "#48" or a "we love you Brady." I found it incredible how many people care...people that have never even met you. As I entered this site I noticed how many people have viewed it...18,970. Wow. I'm amazed at how people have come together to care for someone they love. It's obvious that you're loved Brady, and everyone is praying for you..myself and others down here in OK included. The next time I'm up in NE and visiting East, I hope to meet you. You've inspired us all. You've shown me that there really is power in prayer, and for that I am forever grateful. Even though I'm in OK, I am here for you and your family if you ever need anything, anything at all. "I will no longer run from sorrow, for I've discovered that pain can inspire."-Anonymous

Dear Beran family,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know that I've been thinking about you and praying for you for over a week now. I am so sorry to hear about Brady. It been over 5 years since I was in Lincoln. Brady was in the Midweek and Confirmation programs when I left. He was a delight to work with then and what an awesome thing to see in these entries what an incredible young man he has turned into. I can only begin to imagine what each day must be like for your family. Please know that even in Seattle people are praying for you and haven't forgotten your family. You all are a great example to all of us. Please know that we all love and support you more than words could ever express. You are most certainly in my families thoughts and prayers. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

Hey Brady-
My name is Aaron Smith or Mr. Smith according to most at Lincoln East high school. I have moved from Lincoln but had the opportunity to visit East last week, at which time I learned of your condition. I've had the pleasure of having you in class before and have witnessed you during athletic events. Few people possess the strong personality and will power that you do. Hang in there and know that you have many good people who are praying for you and your recovery.

A prayer for Brady-
“kindle afresh, kindle afresh, kindle afresh…………..”
they came in blue and white
black and white
gold and black
green
East, Northeast, Southeast, Pius
They wore denim, and business suits, they were infants, they were older,
They were all God’s children, yearning for their Father’s comfort and hope
And they prayed
And they cried
And they crawled up on the Savior’s lap and asked.
“Abba, Daddy, why did this happen?”
A few came,
And then a dozen,
50 came,
and then, in the moonlight, more than 500 stood
silent, only the flag against the pole chanted out a rhythm
and the Holy Spirit was there, quietly moving among the crowd, touching each
broken, and confused and frightened heart
the Word was heard, “…with thanksgiving, present your requests to God…”
Peace descended,
Hope was born
And in the twinkling of the stars, we no longer needed to understand –
God was there and in control
sweet incense, the prayers of the saints,
drifted to the nostrils of the Comforter -
and Brady, one of Christ’s family, was lifted up in a chorus of prayer
“…God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but a Spirit of power and love…”
and they left as they came, quietly,
and the Spirit left with each heart

Dear Brady and family,
Our family is so glad to hear that you are doing better day by day. Brittany is a 10th grader at East and had Brady in alot of her class last year. She would talk about you and the fun that she had with you in class. She told me that you would make her feel so happy and help her when she was just an freshman. It was hard for her to go to a new school and not know very many people and you made her feel so welcomed. Our son Shawn is now a 9th grader at East and he's on the 9th grade football team. He was telling us that in the locker room that you and all the guys were so nice to him and also made him feel welcomed. You are such a special young man. Your in our thoughts and prayers everyday. Can't wait to see you back to school at East! We miss you!!

As I was reading the newspaper today, I came across the article about Brady, and how his condition has improved from critical to serious. So many people have been praying for Brady, and even though we don't know him, he has been in our thoughts every day. I am a 1976 graduate of Lincoln East, and my daughter, Heather was a 2003 graduate of Lincoln East too. We know what it is like to be a Spartan, and to be in a high school where there is alot of spirit and pride. My son, Nick, is a football player on the Firefigher B team, and he is only 12. He hopes one day to play for the Spartan's just like you have, Brady. Keep fighting, and we will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Brady and Family,

My name is Steve Voorhees. Our son, Nick, suffered a very similar subdural hematoma playing football in 1998. He was hit helmet to helmet and immediately went into a coma. Rushed to one hospital and transferred to another for emergency surgery, it looked very bad for quite a while. We are praying for you and your family. Nick now just turned 23 and is doing very well. He has had a remarkable recovery, as we hope and pray you will. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything we can do or help you with. Nick lives in Lincoln and is planning on visiting when the time is right. God Bless you and your family.

I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. We don't know each other but we do have a bond, I too am the parent of a football player and though we like to think that our boys are well protected when they play, Brady's accident shows us that unfortunately there is still danger when it comes to sports, football in particular.

Not a day goes by when I don't think of Brady nor that I don't say a prayer for his well being. Please know that there are many people who are pulling for his recovery and wish all of you the very best.

I will put my email address below incase there is someway that I can help your family.

Love

Dear Berans- Our family wants you to know we are part of this huge, powerful prayer group lifting you up to God. In all your fear and pain we pray (and know) you feel strengthened by so much love. Seeing His hands in this and feeling His awesome power is so real....how many people has this touched?! Brady- It's obvious from all the amazing things being said about you that you trust the Lord. Be strong and keep trusting even more for "with God all things are possible". His and so many arms are around all of you. We'll keep praying! Roger and Jean Breitbarth

I am the mother of a 22 year old son who now rides a dirt bike. He played all sports in high school. There was always the possibility of an injury. Every mother worries about her son and injuries, but we all allow our sons to go out for sports and realize that this is what makes them happy. I understand how difficult this time is for your family. I hope for your quick and complete recovery.

By the number of messages Brady has received from friends, family, and others, it's obvious that Brady is a very strong, admirable young man. Brady will continue to be in my prayers and thoughts as he makes his recovery. Good luck Brady, keep your head up, better days lie ahead for you. To Mr. and Mrs. Beran, good luck to you and may your strength hold firm during this tragic time. You have a great son who will prevail and overcome this obstacle. Take care.

Being the father of three sons who played high school football, one of whom played two more years of full pads intrmural football in college, I know that but for the Grace of God, we could have been in the same situation as the Beran family. I have been praying for Brady ever since the news of his injury became public, and I will continue to do so until he goes home, as David Huebner from North Platte has done. Go Brady!

I dont know if you remember me or not... but i heard about your injury a couple days after it happend and i just wanted you and your family to know youve been in my daily prayers ever since. Looking back on the friends i had when i lived in Nebraska, you were definitely one of the best and the nicest. From kindergarten through 6th grade, you were there for me, always standing strong for what you believed, trying hard in all that you did, and just being such a nice friend to everyone all the time. I've been praying for your strength, that youve always had, to stay just as strong. I've really missed you these past 4 years. I'm looking forward to keeping up with your progress. Have faith in healing- God is strong enough.
Hopefully someday we'll run into eachother again. Until then, stay stong bud.

I've never met you, I'm friends with Joe. You would be so proud of how he's handling all this! People ask him constently about how you're doing, and he's never afraid to tell them. You must be an awesome kid to bring this many kids together! Most of the kids at my school haven't met you, but they still pray for you and hope for the best! As a matter of fact, most of the kids at my school are afraid to pray in public, but now they don't care. I hope you realize how many people are praying for you! And to your family~ Stay strong, it's never easy to see someone you love hurting like this! Think about all the fun things you'll do with Brady when he wakes up!
I'm praying for you all!

God is looking over you right now. We pray for you constanstly. I truely believe in the power of prayer. LIVESTRONG.

Hey Brady,
It's Austin. I want to let you know that the entire band is praying for you. We, along with the rest of the school, were right along side you at the game that night. I know that the players don't think about the band much, and I can't really say the same for the band. We live for halftime, and you guys live for the rest. But you are the exception. You are so different from many of the other players. You excel in school, in life, and care about so many people. That's what makes you the coolest guy at school. I probably couldn't find anyone at east that didn't look up to you. I don't know if you realize it or not, but the entire school has literally come together in support of you. I thank you for being an inspiration to all of us and will be praying for your recovery. Always have soccer on your mind, though.

Hi my name is David Nicholson, I am a golf coach at Southern High in Wymore, Ne. I am a friend of Diane Dunning one of East's counselors. I am also a retired investigator with the Nebraska State Patrol. My prayers are with you and your entire family in this time of need. Please be assured that GOD is watching over Brady and he will guide him to recovery. The power of prayer is unbeleavable. I lost my wife in a fatality accident on Valentine's night of 2003 of which I was driving and managed to survive without a scratch. I never prayed so hard in my life for GOD to save my wife but her massive head trauma would have left her a parpalegic and bed ridden for life. So there is power in unanswered prayer as I know now that my wife would not want to live that way. In your case Brady has surprised everyone in a fantastic way that he is a fighter and GOD is with him to take care of him. Diane has told me that as parents you are strong, yet tired, determined and optomistic. My prayers are with you. I have a poster over my office desk that I put there just after my wife died, it reads "GOOD MORNING, THIS IS GOD, I WILL BE HANDLING ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS TODAY, I WILL NOT NEED YOUR HELP, SO RELAX AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. So parents relax and let GOD handle this situation and let it be known that there are multitudes of people praying for Brady and his speedy recovery. The body is a powerful machine and it takes it's sweet time to heal itself to it's normal state. Don't be surprised if you witness some vast and rapid improvement in a very short time. GOD BLESS YOU AND HE WILL KEEP YOU BE ASSURED OF THAT.

Brady,
Just a few things to think about as God's calling is placed before you...

God prepares great men for great tasks through great trials. ~ JK Gressett

Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourself also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.... Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed.
-- 1 Peter 4:1-2,12-13

Stay strong and serve God as you are called and He will reward you greatly. What an awesome promise from our awesome God! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May the Spirit be with you all providing you with peace and comfort in your time of trial.

Andrew

Hi Brady,

Rhonda and I think of you and your family all the time. People at my work place who had the opportunity to meet you during your visit all ask about you. From looking at all the notes on this website it looks like people from all over the country are thinking and praying for you. I have always believed that you measure a man’s character by the number of people who love him. Brady, we love you very much and although it may take a while, we know you will pull through this.

We may never meet here on earth, but someday I know we will. God has a plan and I am praying that His is to heal you completely. Prayer is POWERFUL and you, your family, and the doctors will be in mine. I pray that this is just a pause, a test, a stutter-step in your life and that you will be back to "your old self" soon.

We can't thank everyone enough for all the kindness and love they have shown us these past 10 days. Please know in my heart I'm thanking all of you, but haven't had the strength to write thank-you's yet. The staff at Lincoln General has been so nice and helpful. I don't know what God's plan is for all of this, but we pray it is used to honor Him. Brady will be at Lincoln General at least this week as they watch this swelling that occurred this weekend, but will eventually go to the Madonna Rehab facility. Thank you to everyone again for their prayers and messages that you have left on this website. They are so appreciated from all of you.

When I think of what "family" truly means, I always think of the Beran family. Seeing you and your brothers grow through the years into the wonderful people you are says much for what caring, loving parents you have and the love you share with one another. The love of your family will undoubtedly be the key to your recovery - that and the strong will you possess yourself. Be brave and know that your "Albuquerque Family" loves you very much and is praying for you - we wish we were closer to help you all on this tough journey.

Brade,

hey man. this is truely unfortunate what happened to you. i got the call on thursday night and after i got off the phone i wondered do i have the strength to play friday night. then there was not a doubt that i should play because i know that i would not live it down from you because i know that you would want me out there. so i put your name on my shoes that night. it was one of the most emotional nights of my life when with the shoes with your name on them propelled me to 150 yards rushing. i remember when we were like 11 and and you would get kicked in the stomach or in the face and you would just pop right back up and finish the game. and thats what i thouhgt was going to happen here. but let me just tell you that i will be back in your basement so you can kill me at halo. and you still have to come to my house. always thinking and praying for you. get better buddy.

Beran family- Although we do not know Brady all that well except for what Avery has always said about him, which has been nothing but good things, we do know he is an exceptional young man that obviously is adored and admired by hundreds. It is a compliment to you for raising such a person who people look up to as a role model. This probably goes for your other three boys as well. Please know that you are thought of and prayed for every day and we wish you all the best. We are here to help in ANY way. If anyone can hurdle this obstacle, Brady is the one!

Knowing this, we are sure you will persevere and become a much better person, if that is possible. You have great strength and with the large circle of friends and family you seem to have, your determination will see you through. We hope to get to know you better as time goes by. We keep you in our thoughts and prayers EVERY day. Mark, Kelly, Avery and Sam Sneed.

Hey Brady~
I can't believe that I have known you since we were in kindergarten. Ever since the first time we met, I knew you were the strongest kid I would ever meet. You see this type of situation all the time in the news, but then finding out it could easily happen to one of your good friends, makes you think a lot. You have brought so many people together and you bring hope to everyone. God has plans for everyone, and I know his plan for you is great. My family and I pray for you everyday, along with Messiah Lutheran. I love you Brady and I know I will see you in the halls and in Anatomy again soon!! STAY STRONG #48!!

If there is one thing i know about life, it's that hardships shape our spiritual path. Your miricle has touched so many lives and has shaped so many perseptions. It's hard.. i know.. but with everyone's support and the help of God i know you can fight through it. We live, We love, We fight and we succeed. we love you brady, we miss you.. we're all pulling for you and i know that you're fighting! keep your hopes high and trust in the Lord, because the Lord trusts in you!

I got a call at about 10 am on Saturday and and my friend wanted me to know it was you who was hurt in Friday's game. All I had knew was that an east player got hurt and I guessed it was someone I never met. I know you will pull through soon and I know everyone is praying for you. You have a lot of great friends who are worried about you so come home soon.

I have already signed this once...but I felt a need to sign it again. I just wanted you to know how truly amazing you are...you would be in awe of East High right now! It takes an extremely strong individual to bring an entire community together, but unintentionally, you did that. I know that this is going to be a long road for you from here on, but I wanted you to know that you have so much love and support from SO many people! Friday night, Seacrest Stadium witnessed a miracle...and that is you. I will continue to pray for you everyday, I know you can do it Brady! Stay strong in your faith, and God will lead you through this day by day. "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you."(1 Peter 5:6-7) Good luck Brady, we're with you 100 percent of the way! God Bless You! Love, Amanda Corbin

Hey Brady-
I've known you since kindergarten or 1st grade...it's crazy to think that it's been so long, and that it's gone so fast. Morley, Lux, then East. I regret that we've sort of lost touch over the past couple years, because from what I've been hearing, you're still a really awesome guy, as you always have been. You are missed so much at East. You have so many friends that care so much about you.

Brady, while we are very concerned for you, I've been thinking, and we really don't need to be worried, because Jesus is using you to do great things, and so he is going to get you through this. Since that Friday night football game, there have been people that felt a need to cry out to God for the first time. There have been people that have felt a need to find Christ again, after a long period of denying His call. Your quick, increasing recovery has given us all hope, and has given us proof that Christ listens to us when we talk to him. Never will He leave us, and never will He forsake us.

"AND THE GOD OF ALL GRACE, WHO CALLED YOU TO HIS ETERNAL GLORY IN CHRIST, AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, WILL HIMSELF RESTORE YOU AND MAKE YOU STRONG, FIRM AND STEADFAST. TO HIM BE THE POWER FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN."
-1 Peter 5:10-11

Carol,
You're right. When I heard that Brady was going off the sedatives I thought he would be asking for pizza within 24 hours. Think of it like taking two aspirin at noon and having no muscle pain for the next 4 hours...the medication just needs time to leave his system. Over the next few days he WILL continue to improve. He is getting stronger every minute...through his own will of spirit and through the prayers of others. Never forget: HE WILL GET THROUGH THIS!

I visited East High today and I noticed two distinct things. The entire school is distracted by Brady's absence. Secondly, I felt the undying love that the school feels for your son. Please, go over to that hospital bed and whisper into Brady's ear that he is loved and dearly missed by his classmates at Lincoln East. Tell him to take his time recovering...no matter how long he takes, his school, and his friends, will be waiting for him.
God Bless you all and God Bless Brady!

To Brady, Carol, Tom, and all the caring supporters,
Never in our lives have we witnessed, such an amazing outpouring of concern and affection. Brady, you and your family have touched so many lives with your strength and faith that is being shown during these difficult times. We truly believe in the power of pray.
-Leo Buscaglia wrote...
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
A smile, a kind word, a listening ear,
an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring:

Hey Brady, here are ten reasons to get better:

10. The x-box is getting cold
9. STOP class is so much fun!
8. The sexy blue haired ladies from the Legacy
7. Poker night with the boys
6. Girls!Girls!Girls!
5. Where's Hoham gonna find another goalie?
4. Blowing up hams on the 4th of July
3. Joe needs tormented
2. Who will play Barbies with Annie?
1. BECAUSE WE MISS YOU!

I'm thinking of you and hope to see you back in the neighborhood soon.

Brady,
Ever since we heard the chant of your name as you were put in the ambulance, our family has been praying for your complete recovery. God tells us to be bold in our prayers and I am boldly praying for your full recovery. I'm praying that you will be back with us on Sunday mornings and that you and some or all of your brothers will be skiiing with us again in January! I'm also praying that your wonderful family remains strong during your recovery.

Friday night at church Becky said "you know what I think about when I think of Brady?" We both said at the same time, your smile. Like so many others, we are waiting for the joy of seeing that smile again! May God continue to bless and protect you as only He can.

Dear Brady, Tom, Carol and the rest of the Beran Clan, My family and I have prayed for all of you daily. Brady, we continue to pray that your recovery is speedy and that you feel Jesus's strength and comfort constantly. We know that our God is a God of great miracles! We continue to lay this request before him daily. For the rest of the Berans we pray for your strength and that 'the peace of the Lord which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus'. I read in the paper a quote from Coach Gingery when he said, "Brady is the kind of kid that you would like your daughter to bring home." Brady that is a true statement! I remember thinking the first time I met you that "the content of your character" is something to be admired. You are a great kid! We will continue to keep you in our prayers.

We trust that God will give you the strength to get through these days. Even though we may not see speedy progress in his recovery, I pray that we not get discouraged but know that our time is not the same as God's time...Brady has touched the hearts of so many people and not just through his injury but because of the great person he is. You have done an outstanding job of raising your 4 boys. They are all very blessed to have you as their parents. May God bless you all greatly!!!

Carol, I just read today's (10/1) update on Brady's condition and felt led to post again, this time parent-to-parent for you and Tom. I pray that you can feel the all the hands of God's people continually lifting you and your family up in prayer, and the arms of God around you keeping you in His care. Isaiah 43:1-3 is such a comfort to me in times of trouble, and I hope it will comfort you, too: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Rest in God's care, and take your strength from Him! Mary & Jerry Fischer

Brady, I've never seen you get mad or anything. Always remember that there are two things that will be with you all of your life: God and your Family and we are all your Family. Brady, With God you can do anything and family encourages that "anything". So keep the faith and keep the courage and strength. PEACE

Brady,
It's your cousin Jess. I just wanted to let you know that this is messed up. I've seen at least 15 friends and family members go into the ground. It sucks. And I was scared that you would be the next to go. You don't deserve this, no one in our family deserves to be put through such hell. Since I received the adress to this website, I've been sitting at work on my lunch break looking you up on the net to try and get as much info as I can and reading the guestbook. Which I have to tell you (even though you will read all of the guest book at some point in time, I'm sure)it's the most amazing thing ever. All these poeple that love and care about you. Not to mention the people that havn't had the honor of meeting you. You're a tough kid, and I know you'll make it through it. By the way, when you do wake up, Your dad has a present from me to you.
It's a pin from Notre Dame, Blessed by my best friends brother, who was ordained there, and so it was given to me a week later, and it was the coolest thing I have ever been given by a friend. So once you wake up you better enjoy. Get better, I'll be praying.

Thank you to every East football player who stepped on that field tonight. I'm sure it was hard, but you made us all proud for carrying on through incredibly tough circumstances. Your character strengthened and showed. We were listening to the radio and the announcers praised the team saying this was their first step back from tough circumstances. They knew it wasn't the East team they saw playing against Millard North two weeks ago but they gave East much credit for their play tonight and said the team will only get better as the weeks go on. You are all true friends and "our boys".

Dear Brady, and of course Tom, Carol, Matt, Casey and Joe Beran.

Ronnie and I just heard. It goes without saying that if any one person, or for that matter any one family, is up to the challenge at hand, it is you beloved people.

From what we have heard and seen in the last hour, there is plenty to be thankful for. Brady appears to be well on the road to recovery. The outpouring of support is overwhelming. The Beran family has been a source of strength for us during our transitions of late and Brady's friendship toward Ian is no small part of that.

The friendships developed as a result of teamwork may be the most lasting. Rest assured that our thoughts and prayers are with the Beran's. Your faith is truly something that will get you through this bump in the road.

We will keep ourselves informed and will stay in touch.

You are in our prayers and in our hearts.

Love, Tom, Ronnie, Ian and Alex Walker

Dear Beran family, My name is Mara Zigurs and my son, Vilis Lipins had a traumatic brain injury 2 months ago. He was in ICU for 6 days and then went to Madonna rehab for 7 days. He was in a car accident and suffered a skull fracture and epidural hematoma. The medical procedures he went through were very similar to what your son is going through. When I heard about Brady's injury I wanted to run up to ICU with Vilis and show you how well he's doing, and reassure you that Brady will be the same some day. The medical staff in the Trauma Unit and ICU are incredible. Brady and Vilis seem to have alot of similar characteristics, in fact, they both played at East High football camp this summer. I wanted to extend my support, and understanding of what your family is going through. Please call me when you are ready and feel like talking to another parent who only knows too well what you are going through. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your son. Sincerely, Mara Zigurs-489-9576 or 304-3802.

I know it will be a long road but with your will and determination and with help from everyones thoughts and prayers you will get through this. My mother called me right after I got home from the vigil Monday night to tell me to look at the moon. It had a beautiful pink color surrounding it. It only lasted for a minute but I am sure that it was a sign from God that he heard all the prayers and he is taking care of you.

Hey Brady!
I can't even express to you the thoughts and feelings that went through my mind when I got Libby's voice mail Friday night telling me about your accident. All I could think was, God has wayy too much in store for Brady to let him die now. You have been such an inspiration to so many people Brady, and I just couldn't see how God would allow you to come home to Him when you are such a valuable tool of His here on Earth. We had a prayer vigil for you Friday night at church, and I've kept you in my prayers ever since. In every class, we pray for you. You'd be so amazed to hear about all of the people who hardly even know you who are praying for you and hoping that you get better. I'm sooo happy to hear about how far you've come in a week. I cannot wait to see you're face at youth group again. God Bless you buddy!

This accident, while terrible, has influenced the spiritual lives of many people - including me. I hope that you and your family can find some comfort in that. Adam and I have been praying for all of you! We consider it a blessing that we were able to get to know you as part of our small group Bible Study last year. Everyone at church misses you and wants you back soon!

Brady, earlier this week my family relayed the story of your injury to me. Since then, myself and others at my school here in Chicago have been praying for you, your family, and everyone else involved in your current situation. I am amazed at how God can bring so many people together and by the miracles He can produce following tragic events such as the one you experienced. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." Phillipians 4:6
Hang in there Brady.

It is amazing how everybody at school has bonded together to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Your influence is seen and felt everyday at school. It shows how great of a person you are to have so many friends who love you. I'll see ya in english once you get back.

Brady~
I signed your guest book earlier before I read how you were doing. I work at the hospital and have seen things like what you are going through. You are coming along real good. Keep up the good work and everything will turn out great. Your family is doing a great job dealing with something like this. I bet you are making them proud. Hope to hear about you being out and about real soon!

Brady, I highly doubt that you would remember me, but we went through TEC 14 together, and I was a "Yeah Toast-er". I just want to let you know how much you are loved and cared about, and you and your family are in my prayers constantly. You should also know how much we care about you at Lincoln Lutheran, where it's guaranteed that if someone's praying, your health and well-being are included. I hope you get better soon! God is amazing and can do anything as long as your focus is on him!

Brady, I don't know you but I keep visualizing you, with your wonderful stride, walking down the sidewalk. I know it was long ago but I remember often seeing you when you were in middle school walking to school as I was dropping off Aaron. We often shared a smile and a wave. With all the positive reports we have been hearing on your progress we know God is smiling upon you and holding you in his wonderous hands. You and your family are in the thoughts and prayers of all who are hoping for your complete recovery.

Braden,
I can't tell you how much I've been thinking of you. You have so many people praying for you everyday. I've never seen so many people come together like they have this week. When I saw you injured on the football field, I looked over my shoulder and the first thing I said was, "He's gonna get through this, he's the strongest kid I know," and every ounce of me still believes that. It's such a privelage to have you as a strong, caring friend, that can make anyone smile or laugh at anytime. I can't wait to see you again, because I know you'll have a big smile on your face. Remain strong, I know you wouldn't do otherwise. I luv you Brady!

Get back to school soon so i can high-five you everyday. I know that you'll come back at 100%. It's going to be different playing without you, but we are all playing for you.

Dear Brady, Tom, Carol, Matt, Casey and Joe,

I came to this website to get an update on Brady, not with the intention of writing an entry in your guestbook, as both my husband and daughter have written previously, but just simply to get an update to help direct my prayers accordingly. However, after reading everyone's entries I felt compelled to write one as well. Every progressive step is a miracle. God is not seen physically in your room but you know he is there embracing each of you. After reading all of these entries and listening to Emily and her friends speak so highly of you Brady makes one realize what a wonderful ministry you are to those around you. Tom and Carol you should be proud. I know you are!! My prayers are continual for strength for the family, wisdom for the doctors and medical staff and God's speed and power behind Brady all the way. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. (2 Cor. 4:18) God's spirit is everywhere.

Joe, you have amazed me at school each day. Brady will be so proud when he learns of your incredible strength.

Never lose heart!!

Everything about you has inspired me to become a better person and your in my prayers every day. I love you and i cant wait til' i get to see you.

I remember looking up and seeing you and your friends at Morley and just being so impressed, and i still am, at the joy you bring to people. You've totally pulled everyone to together and that alone shows your amazing strength. You've been in my prayers more then you could possible know and everyones always thinking about you. I play soccer for East and outside of school with a lot of the girls and I just thought I'd let you know, when we play. We play for you. We all know you'll bounce back.

Brady, you are such an amazing guy. I loved being in Bible Study with you last year. You always added good insight and are definitely wise beyond your years. When you were taken off the field Friday night, I had no idea what had happened. My family and I went home and soon found out that it was much more serious than we ever imagined. We've been praying for you constantly since then and it's amazing how far God has brought you already. I know He has a plan through all of this and I can already see what an impact you have made in people's lives and how strong of a witness you have been in every aspect of your life. In the newspaper yesterday, your coach described you as "the kind of young man you'd like to have your daughter bring home to meet you." I read that and smiled because I think it's true. You definitely have a good head on your shoulders and I feel so privileged to know you and have the opportunity to watch you grow older and continue to touch people's lives. I've always admired the strong bond you and your brothers have and I know that this will only make that bond stronger. You have a truly remarkable family that loves you so much, but realizes that God loves you even more and knows what is best for you. That is so awesome....
I'm praying for you, Brady!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We also have a son who plays freshman football for Crete and I worry about him every time he steps on the field. He loves the sport though and we are hoping that since Brady's accident, that the schools will take more steps to insure their safety. It sounds like Brady is a strong person and will come back to all of you. Again, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brady and the Beran family, many things happen in our lives and we often ask why, though it is not our position to question Gods plan. God has a plan for each of his children, some are meant to lead and some to follow. Obviously God chose Brady to lead a team, a staff of coaches, a school, students, parents, a community and a state, to fulfill His plan and bring people together. "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it". We pray for Gods strength to lift you up Brady, as you have inspired so many friends, families, parents, and the entire community. We Love You and continue to pray for you and your family. Marshal, Jayne, Austin and Haley Juma

Tom, Carol, Matt, Casey, Joe and BRADY, What a shock! My heart aches for you. I know what it is like to almost lose a child but God works in mysterious ways and HE is in CONTROL. Remember Psalm 27 "The Lord is My Light and My Salvation, Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the Stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?" Satan wants you to have fear, but God is holding you in His arms and giving you the strength and wisdom you need. We missed Joe for his solo Sunday morning but the kids choir prayed for all of you, especially for Brady one of our alumni. God has a plan and HE IS FAITHFUL. HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU. WHAT PEACE WE HAVE IN HIM!! My prayers haven't stopped. You are all being lifted up in prayers to our loving Jesus!
Love in Christ, Patti Fusselman

Brady, Last night when I was talking to Sam I asked him how well he knew you. He told me "you don't have to know Brady really well to know him". Then he started to laugh and told me last wednesday he was walking down the hall and a group of girls were walking toward him on the other side of the hallway. He didn't know it but you were crouched down behind them waiting. He said all of the sudden he sees something flying through the air, arms up, yelling, coming towards him and then you tackled him against the wall. He thought it was hilarious. I know you are fighting really hard right now but the good times will come back. You and your family are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. May god wrap his arms around you and guide you through this time.

The first time we saw you, you were playing in a sophomore football game. I remember thinking that #48 was really good. We were impressed. You attacked the game w/ passion and fearlessness. We have come to know that you are impressive as a person also. We are quite sure you will attack this setback w/ the same passion and commitment that have made you a great football player and goalie. God will see you through. We are praying for you all.

It is absolutely amazing to see one person make such a difference in an entire school and community. I have never personally experienced a time where so many people have come together to encourage one another, pray for someone, and become unified in a common bond of love. That is a testament to your life; the people you touched and the way you lived. God is doing amazing things through you without you even knowing it. You are as strong now as you have ever been. I cannot wait to finally meet you! The entire Campus Life staff is here for you and your family in ANY way we can help.

In Christ,

Morley seems like a long time ago, if there is one thing that i have learned from you in all these years other than bad group participation in anatomy is "weak", its that you don't need to be a "superstar" to be a hero. You have become a hero for many within the past week. You have brought together an entire school and community. East is behind you 100% and everyone misses you. You and your family our in my prayers! we love you

Hey Brady,
After all the great times, memories, and laughs that we've shared I never would've thought something this horrible could happen to such a great person and friend like you. Everytime I'm with you I notice how your positive attitude and smile rubs off on everyone around you. That is noticed incredibly with the amount of people who are supporting, hoping, and praying for you. Everyone loves you man, thats just what it comes down to. Athletics in many ways brings out peoples personalities. After all the games we've played together in football, basketball, and soccer I've never gotten tired of watching you compete. I have never in all the years I've known you see you fall or face an obstacle and not overcome it. What you're experiencing now is just another obstacle, and me along with everyone else knows that you're going to give it all you've got and never stop fighting. All those times me, you, and Quin would play 21 at your house and laugh and laugh when we watched you try and have a somewhat good looking dunk are just memories that will always make me laugh. At the football game this past Monday it was tough going out there as captains and not having you walk out there with us, we all miss you. Well there just aren't enough words to express how much we all care and love you. I can't wait until your back to the Brady we're use to. I'm looking forward to having more great times and laughs with you.
We are all still praying for you and we know you're going to stay strong for us. Carol, Tom, Matt, Casey, and Joe stay strong as well and we are all supporting you and Brady through this hard time.
LOVE YA,

Just by the type of person you are, I am confident you'll come back healthy. When you come back, things will be different because of you. I know you've touched me. God Bless.

It is incredible how your injury and your revory so far have made East and other highschools come together. It goes to show that one person can make a difference in others, and that person is you. Our school is filled with signs and love for you. I've heard what a caring and generous person you are. I hope that someday you and I will be able to get to know each other. I believe in miracles, and I think that you are a miracle. You are in my family's prayers and thoughts. Get back to East soon, we all miss you!

Hey Brady,
You probably dont even know who i am but ive seen you around school and heard how you talk to people in the halls and i think we might have even had a class or two together in middle school, but i do know that you are one of the nicest people i have ever seen. and what's even more is that you have a TON of people who love you and are there for you all the way. So many people are praying for you that dont even know you but hear you are a good kid. It takes a very special person to unite a school like you have, even if it is on these terms, and i know that you'll pull through because you are a great person and have great people who care about you. you and your family are in my prayers.

Brady, I don't even know where to start..you're seriously one of my best friends ever and I don't know what I would ever do without you. We've been through so much, and I'm glad I met you. First time we met, I spent the night at Keely's house..that's a night no one will ever forget..I know you don't remember it, but Keely and I remember like it was yesterday..when we were chasing you (because we were playing cops and robbers) and I tripped down the curb and fell flat on my face. haha good times. You've always been there for me to talk to and I'm so glad you have. You're the strongest, most caring, coolest, nicest, funniest..and best guy I know. I'm glad to have you in my life. Stay strong bud. I'm always here for you. I'm praying for you too. Even if we do make fun of each other a lot, deep down you know I love you. You've changed my life completely..it would be so much different if you weren't apart of it. There's so much more I have to say..I just can't find the words. Thanks so much for everything. You're in my every thought and prayer. I love ya, stay strong.

While Andrew was at the Youth Leadership Lincoln retreat on Friday, another member came back to the retreat with the shocking news of your injury. Everyone was praying for you that night and talking about your great leadership. I can't help but remember what a terrific student you were in 5th grade. Your determination and persistence always amazed me. We know that you have the strength and the faith to win this battle.

You're in our thoughts,

This must be an incredibly difficult time for all of you. There is not a parent around that doesn't feel your pain. My daughter Laura thinks so highly of Brady, all I have heard from her and her friends, is what a great guy Brady is and what a strong spiritual commitment he has. My daughter and I have been and will continue praying for you and your family. May you find strength knowing that God is with you and will help you through these difficult days. There are so many concerned people, some that don't even know you, yet they all have you in their prayers. I hope your family will find strength in the days to come as we look forward to Brady's full recovery. God Bless.

Brady and family,
Jeff and I are devastated by your accident. We are praying for you nonstop and we have everyone that we know praying for you. I've got email friends on both coasts praying for you. This whole town is praying for you. Mike, Spud, Quinn, Jake, Apollo and your other friends need you. You are the glue that holds you guys together. And they need your house for playing poker! We believe in miracles and think you are one! Next time you have dinner at our house, it won't be pasta! It will be something you really like.
We love you, Brady!

Even though i dont really know you that well, i still want to let you know that you have been in my/my family's prayers ever since friday night. You wouldnt belive all the signs up in the halls and on peoples lockers saying that they are praying and thinking about you...Everyone at school is supporting you and wishing for the quickest recovery possible. I cant even imagine what you and your family are going through right now. God is with you and you are his one true miracle!! Stay Strong Brady

Ever since kindergarten we have been friends! You have been in my prayers since Friday night on our way down to the hospital. Your a very determined and strong kid and i know you can do it! School has been so hard without hearing your name in the hall or even in Anatomy class!! You are a living proof that miracles can happen and you have impacted so many peoples lives. Its amazing to see so many people come together and pray for you. Your a great kid inside and out! Stay strong and I can't wait to see you back at school. I love you and miss you so much! Amanda

I just wanted to let you know that my family and I have been praying for you and your family ever since friday night. You see this kind of stuff on the news but never think it could really happen to one of your friends. Through all this the best thing to do is pray and know that God knows whats best and is in control. You have been an inspiration to us all and have taught us to never take our friends and families for granted. Just remember that God is always there for you whenever you need him. I know you can and will get through this and I cant wait to see your face again at school! Stay strong buddy and never forget that we all love you! xoxo

Hey Brady,
I don't know you, but I can tell you over the past few days, I really feel like I have somehow got to know you. The way you have inspired so many people and the way that so much of the city has to come together during this time really is a miracle in works. This shows me that you are a good person and you have made a huge impression in people's lives. I will be praying for you and your family during this hard recovering time, but through the looks of it, you are said to be one of the strongest people, that people know, so I have confidence you can come out on top and get back to your life. God Bless!

I sat outside and as I gazed upward
Quiet I prayed not saying a word
And as I prayed it seemed absurd
Flying over I saw a bird

But once I realized what was above
A bird of peace, a bird of love
A gentle creature, a snow white dove

Sent from heaven to enlighten my way
That God is with us each and everyday
Whether sick or well, in what we do or say
Whether work or school or just at play

So rest and dream of times ago
For times to learn and times to grow
Of future times some fast some slow
God is with you this I know

Many of you will find it hard to believe but I often give Jake and his buddies a hard time. Brady was the first one to give it right back to me. I always admired him for that ( I know, I'm weird). I always knew Brady had spunk and he needs it now more than ever. Linda and I could not ask for better friends for our sons than Brady and Joe Beran. We could not ask for better friends than Tom and Carol. We are truely blessed to know their family. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Beran family, we love you guys. Jim and Linda Rocke

As one of the "old men" in attendance , it did my heart good to see players and cheerleaders from Northeast , Southeast , and Lincoln High (and possibly other schools) in attendance to show their support . That shows a lot of class and compassion . Brady , you've got the whole city and state praying for you and yor family . Keep fighting so we can all see you again soon .

Brady and Family,
My prayers and heart have been ever so with you guys since friday night at the game. Seeing the jersey being cut brought me to shock and tears, I couldn't believe that someone who I had looked up to was in such critical condition. Knowing Brady I know he is a strong person, not only physically but he is probably the strongest person spiritually I know. He has always led me to the right path whenever I began to steer off of it. God has given us this miracle to keep Brady going, and I thank him every single day for it. Miss ya in the halls, miss hanging out with you and especially miss the poker nights at your house. Be strong Braden Thomas Beran, I know you will be and I look forward to growing old with you.

I just want to thank you for all that you've done for me these past years, and not just directly but indirectly in the fact that you were a source of motivation for me everytime we stepped out on the field together, and ill never forget that brady, your character shines upon all of us now.

I'm totally amazed at how many people have been affected by Brady's accident. The entire community seems to have banded together to pray him back to health. By Saturday morning he was on the prayer chain at St. John's church and the mass on Monday morning closed with prayers for him. I also know of rosaries being said for his recovery. May God sustain you Brady and your family at this time.

Wow, I can't believe all that has happened to you, but I can believe that you are fighting hard. My family and I have been praying for you and your family since Friday night, my parents took us to the church at 1 AM. Somehow I had a feeling that night that you were gonna be alright since you are so strong and tough. Everyone at Pius is praying for you too, my sis even got it on the announcements to pray for Brady Beran. Everyone loves you Brady and we hope to see you again soon.

Hey Brades
In all our years since kindergarten i never thought i'd see you like this. There hasn't been a doubt in my mind since i showed up at the hospital that you would pull through this and be back to your normal self in no time because we all know you are one tough kid Every time ive seen you take a hit in the 11 years we've been close you've bounced right back up and been yourself and this wont be any different. Stay Strong

Brady has a long way to go. The fact that he is alive and stabile is a super-positive at this point.

The Brady that I have come to know and love in these short years is a strong, competitive and supportive person. He is in the competition of his life now - A competition for his life. I hope and pray that he wins this competition as he has so many others. Support Brady and his family just as Brady has supported us all these years.

Keep Brady and his family in your prayers. Prayer support seems to be working.

Go Brady, go!

To The Beran Family :

We have set up an account at Union Bank in order to help defray any extra expenses that may occur . I know you didn't ask for this , but a lot of people want to help any way they can . Please excuse me for taking action , but all of the parents I talked to thought this would be one way for the Lincoln and East High communities to show support . All of our thoughts and prayers are with you .
