View all 27 ReflectionsI grew up across the street in Clear Lake from Bret's mom and dad. They were Gordon and Bonnie Sunner, with a golden retriever named Bo. Though I never knew Bret because I turned 4 years old on the day that his life was unfairly taken away, I knew of his story. We must find comfort knowing that his mom , dad, and Bo are with him now. Though he was taken from this earth at a young age under difficult and unfair circumstances, we should find comfort knowing they are together forever. God rest you and find peace!
