He was just out to visit us, two or three evenings before. He gave us each a great big, wonderful hug, and told us he loves us. I was so happily surprised to see him, and our visit was so sweet… My heart is continually breaking, for all of his family and those who love him. I still see that little boy, with his glasses on, and that great big smile. The tears barely stop… May you be at peace, dear young man. My love is forever with you.

Our family is again saddened by death. Our ranks have become much smaller in the past 13 months, but those of us still here on earth must stick together in love. Brandy, my heart is breaking for you. I love you.
Floating down the river with the family, thinking “Jazz and Brandon wouldn’t tip my canoe over” sure enough they did and pulled my canoe away from me as they laughed watching me swim the whole way to shore. Brandon your laugh was contagious, and I’m going to miss it, the jokes and pranks you used to pull on me, the long and late night talks about life. Playing games with our little family gaming group, but most of all I’m going to miss your presence, it brought me so much comfort just knowing you where there and okay, that I could call you and talk to you about anything. I love you bro, this world is going to a tough one to go on in without you.
You were part of my family for 10 years. I can’t believe you’re gone. Although we didn’t keep in touch, I thought about you and I still have a picture you made me many years ago hanging on my wall. I was so sad when I heard about this. My heart goes out to Brandy, Darin and Katelynn.
