Condolences
The family of Donald Marvin Bradford has received the following condolences.
Dear Linda and Family,
I extend my deepest sympathies and condolences in this time of bereavement. There are no words sufficient for ministering to the pain that you all are feeling right now. So rather than patronizing you with trite clichés offer up this simple prayer on your behalf.
Dear heavenly Father, God of all comfort, please comfort this dear family in their grief. Give them strength for today and the assurance of your presence now and that you will be with them in the days ahead. Let them know that you care for them and are willing to hear and receive every emotion that they may express as they journey through the experiences of losing and missing Donnie.
I pray these things in Jesus name, amen.
Sincerely,
Gil Domally

We are here to celebrate your life
And the measure of its worth
And every single life you touched
While you were on this earth.

Donny was a great pool player and was always a very pleasant to play with. He was always polite win or lose. If you played good against Donny, he would always compliment you with high regards on your game. I will always remember Donny because he taught me the meaning of how you play the game win or lose. I never ever have played a person that was never in a bad mood or complained about the game, bad rolls, sage, etc he just enjoyed the game and had fun doing it. i will miss running into him in league and will remember him as a great guy. to be around. He has left us too soon. Rest in peace my friend.
We extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son, brother, husband, father and uncle. We have only met Donny a few times but he always had a big smile on his face and was very friendly. Words seem so inadequate at time like this so we are sending our best wishes for strength in the days and weeks ahead.
To the family of Don Bradford, and Karter and Balen who I’ve worked with at ZM High School, I’m so sorry about Don’s passing. I enjoyed getting to meet Don at the State adaptive bowling competition a couple of years ago. You boys please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you out at school. Sending my love and prayers,
Gary Bryant
Thinking and praying for you all. Don you will be missed!
