I don't know your family but that just doesn't matter at a time like this. As a mother myself, my heart shatters for you--truly. I cannot imagine the pain you all are feeling. I hope that the grace of God wraps around you and guides you through this terrible storm.

Brandon was like a son to me. He and my son we very good friends, which is why this is so hard for us to handle as a family...we pray for comfort and strength for you all during this very difficult time.

Words can not express the sorrow that we are feeling right now. I can't help but think of you playing on my living room floor and Richard handing you over his entire baseball card collection because of the passion you had for the game even as a little man! I also am going back to when your Mom and Dad got married and you fell asleep in my lap up at the alter because you just were so tired and how damn cute you looked in that uniform! You would have been an awesome officer in our Corps! I hope you know how very loved you are and that you made an impact on so many peoples lives even if it was cut way too short. God keep you in his loving arms, look out for your Mom, Dad, Stephanie and little Dillie Bear! They are going to need you buddy! Keep us all strong for your family so we may comfort and support them through this difficult time. Love you B-

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Thank you for always forgiving me when I got mad at you for the most stupid things. Thank you for always being there when I needed someone to count on, and thank you for making such a huge impact on my life. I'll always remember your big smile, and your really good hugs. Keep watching over everyone, you'll always be on my mind. Love you more than you know B, and I can't wait until I see you again.
