Journal entry by Jackie Rasmussen

Good Morning! I just wanted to send a message to everyone of you who followed us through this horrible journey! 

Thank you for all of the love, messages, gifts, meals, flowers, and prayers.  All of the visits to see Brad. Dick-thank you for leaving your ice house on the lake for him to use. He loved that! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate his life with us on May 14th. We hope we made him proud. He loved his get togethers so much. 

To everyone who bought the HTP apparel and gave to the GOFUND ME page thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you Jess and Tony for getting all of those things set up and putting so much time into them. It meant the world to us. Thank you to Leslie Ray his nurse at Region’s Hospital who took him and us into her arms and did everything possible to make sure we were all doing ok. She treated Brad with so much love and dignity and I know he could feel it. Leslie you are loved by us so much!!

I’m sure I have forgotten something. This has been the most awful heart wrenching thing to go through. Why did he have to go through this? We will never understand. He was the most incredible dad, grandpa, and husband. He did everything for his family. He is so missed. We are shattered. Life will never be the same. But, he told us to be strong like he was, so we are all doing the best as we can. 

Please forgive me if I have missed anyone or anything. We are truly blessed with the amount of love we have been given. Please know you are all loved. 

Here’s some advice! Live today like there’s no tomorrow!!! Because things can change so incredibly fast. 

Thank you again! 

Love, Jackie, Dani and Dalton, Katie, Austin and Macie, and Jimmy
