25 January 2001 Brady Alan Bogart, 1996-2001On January 14, my nephew Brady unexpectedly died. He went peacefully in his sleep from a gastrointestinal hemorrhage.At the beginning of his life, he wasn't expected to survive long due to a difficult birth and oxygen deprivation, but the estimates kept having to be revised upward: "a few days" ... "a few weeks" ... "maybe a year" ... "we don't know." Astonishingly, early on he pulled out his own breathing tube and didn't need its assistance ever again. Dan and Vickie, his parents, relied on church, friends and family to help them cope with the difficulties of life with a disabled child. One comfort was the poem "Welcome to Holland", which Dan read at Brady's funeral a week ago:
Hail and farewell, O cheerful and valiant Sir Brady. You will be missed. Brady Bogart Memorial Fund 4812 Edgebrook Dr. Waterloo, IA 50701
