I was able to stop by the benefit car wash and was pleased to see how many of his friends and family were there to help wash cars. Bryson’s community loved him. R.I.P young man.
Handsome little boy. God rest his soul and bless his family through this most terrible tragedy.
Now he is in the arms of our Father as well as his Mother. Prayers for the families that are all involved. R.I.P. Bryson…
