Gary and I wish to express our Thanks to all who have been part of
Brett's life. His 11 month battle with Melanoma (Skin Cancer) with
courage and determination. His last month was spent in reflection and
comforting those around him. We especially appreciate all the cards
and letters we have recieved from the Biathlon Community. We
especially enjoy the tales you all have to tell about your experiences
with him.

His death to skin cancer did not have to happen, but we believe it
happened for a reason. In the future you will be hearing more from us
about detection and prevention of Melanoma Skin Cancer. Early
detection and treatment results in a cure!

Thank You
Sharon Miller
