It is hard to believe that it has been over three years since you let us and went home. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in your class listening to you yell "FUMBLE!!" at someone who dropped a pencil...those days will be missed. Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I believe that what plans God had for you were fulfilled and with the best of intentions. I know that just knowing you has made me a better person and I thank you for that. You are missed by many, more than you could know, and are now not and never will be forgotten.
It's been almost 3 years since you died a HERO. I just read a story written about you and it brought me to tears. We weren't ever too close but Brett you were a friend and you are missed! There are so many that are not letting you be forgotten. There are so many memorials for you, in your name and even in a sidewalk. It wasn't fair that God choose you but he choose a GREAT guy to be on his team!
Brett, My little cousin, I love and miss you. Words cannot say how greatly you are missed by us all. We are proud of you, so proud. Our hearts will never be the same since we lost you, I can still hardly believe it. Thank you for all the fun times and endless laughs. You make me want to be a better person. You are a true hero, humble and true.
Hardly a day goes by when something doesn't remind me of Brett, and I realize how much fuller my life is having known him and had the privilege of calling him 'friend.'
I keep coming back here, and could never bring myself to sign my name. There's a finality to 'goodbye' that, to be honest, I haven't wanted to face. Brett was a genuinely good man, one of the best, in a world with far too few good men. The world will miss him for that. But everyone who has ever met him can say their life is better for it. I believe that's a good legacy.
Brett: God, I miss you man. I hope one day I'm a good a man as you were; you made it look so easy. My friend, may all the angels of heaven and earth guide you home. Maybe one day I'll see you again. Until then, goodbye and good journey.
Dear Brett, I feel kinda silly writing this to you because we have not met. I know you have gotten to know my Presious Rebecca West in Heaven & that you & Rebecca had something to do with our families metting @ the Branson Landing.

I will see you in Heaven one day... love in Christ.. Momma West a proud CBC MOM !!! To God be the glory......
