My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family. Brandi always loved going out, she also loved a good bonfire. The last bonfire we had, she looked like she was ready to go to five star restaurant but still didn't mind picking up huge branches to feed the fire. She is and will be missed.

Brandi was always sweet to my son and I when she was at High Hopes and later on when we would see her around town
Her son is adorable. Many prayers for him and the rest of her family.

It broke my heart when I got the news of her passing. Brandi's brother and my son's have been close friends since middle school and her and I worked together several years at HHLC. She will be missed by family, friends, co-workers and student's. I trust God will see how special you were and may you walk with the Angel's so you can watch over Jett, your parents and Brian.

I wanted to reach out to let you know how sorry I am to hear about Brandi. I had the privilege of meeting her at Belle Haven many years ago when she was teaching kindergarten and I was teaching preschool. She would come into my room every morning before school to talk. I became a mentor to her while I was there and she told everyone I was her second mom. I left Belle Haven at the beginning of this school year and moved to another school which was only a few miles away so I would still come back to Belle Haven once a month to visit. Last month she told me we needed to get together soon to catch up. I just wanted you to know my life is better because I knew her and considered her a friend. She was kind and compassionate and tenderhearted and an amazing mom and teacher. She will be greatly missed. Please accept my condolences. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Brandi has been dealt a tough hand of cards since I met her 12 years ago. But she never stopped smiling, and being so sweet and kind. I know she loved and wanted Jett more than anything in this life. Such a gentle soul gone far too soon.
