Late on a rainy Sat. night June 7th, 2003, Bradley and his friend Keith were passengers in a car that was traveling to fast. The driver, a teenager lost control of the car before entering a curve on William Few Parkway in Appling Georgia. The Sheriffs dept. calulated the speed at be at least 69.5 in a 45 mph zone. The car slid over 265 feet, hit a tree, spun around up a hill and then caught fire. Bradley and Keith didn't make it out. I was never told of any attempts to rescue them. The driver lived with minor injuries. The driver was already breaking the law by having passengers in the first 6 months of having a drivers license, she only had her license 11 days. Bradley and Keith had been friends for almost 11 years.

Bradley is survived by his parents Ernest and Kris Thornton and brother Gregory Thornton.

Bradley  was  a rising senior at Evans High School. He was on the football team and was in JROTC. He planned on going in the military after graduation.
 
 


 
 
 
~IF LOVE ALONE~
~Author Unknown~ 



You never said, "I'm leaving."
You never said, "Good-bye."
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a special place,
no one can ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone
for part of me went with you,
that day God called you home. 
 
 


 
 

~YOU'RE STILL YOU~
~Author Unknown~



Through the darkness
I can see your light;
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine.
Your face I’ve memorized--
I idolize just you.
I look up to
Everything you are;
In my eyes you do no wrong--
I’ve loved you for so long;
And after all is said and done,
You’re still you.
After all, you’re still you.



You walk past me--
I can feel your pain.
Time changes everything--
One truth always stays the same:
You’re still you.
After all, you’re still you.



I look up to 
Everything you are;
In my eyes you do no wrong,
And I believe in you,
Although you never asked me to--
I will remember you
And what life put you through;
And in this cruel and lonely world,
I found one love---
You’re still you.
After all, you’re still you.

~WIND BENEATH MY WINGS~
~Bette Midler~

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked one step behind.
So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It may have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth,
of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away.  You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touched the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.
