Dear Armstrong Family,
Brandon was an amazing person. He always knew how to make everyone smile. We all shared some great times with Brandon and the memories will live on forever in our hearts. I saw Brandon a few days before his passing and he looked at me with this big smile and opened his arms and gave me the biggest hug...I will forever miss Brandons huge smile and loving hugs! Brandon made such a amazing impact on so many people lives! He will be truly missed and loved by so many.

I never knew Brandon but when I heard about him it left me very sad. Over the last few days another little boy died at the age if 3 months. These two deaths taught me that I should be happier and nicer to everyone. I'm sure Brandon was a very kind boy and I'm sure he's in a better place looking down on us. God bless

It is so hard to lose a child and though I have never experienced it, I know there are no words to make you feel better. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Brandon seemed like such a inspirational person to so many different people and I'm sure he will be missed. As hard as it may seem, God was ready for Brandon and he will watch over each and every one of you. I will keep the Armstrongs' in my prayers and thoughts.

My son, Hunter Aliff was friends with Brandon and I got a chance to meet him twice. I hope knowing how many friends he had and how well liked he was will bring some comfort to the Armstrong family.

The most difficult thing in a parents life is to bury a child. Having to bury a child goes against nature and the correct order of life.
Please give your grief to God. He will help you carry this burden. Rejoice for the time you had with your borrowed angel, Brandon has been called home to be with the Lord for what purpose we may never know.
Remember, the day you are called home you will be reunited with Brandon for all of eternity. Think of eternity as a bucket of sand, let one grain of sand represent your lifetime on earth. Look at the remaining sand in the bucket and let that be eternity. The eternity you will be spending with Brandon.
We have been through what you are going through now. If we can help in any way feel free to contact us through Will Farmer.

I didn't know your son, but two of my boys did. Today I was at the intersection of Rural Point and Studley when the funeral came through. As I was sitting there tears were suddenly on my cheeks; as not only did I see a life cut too short, I also saw all my boys friends going by me. I just can't imagine losing one of my boys....my heart goes out to you.

Mr. & Mrs. Armstrong, I haven't seen you since the afternoon we met at Atlee. However, Jonathan spoke about Brandon often. I am so sorry for your loss and cannot imagine what you must be going through. Please know our church and family have been and will be praying that God will give you the strength that only He can to help you through this time of life. Pull from that strength in the days ahead and allow God to hold you when you feel you have none left.

We do not know each other but my oldest son, who is a senior at Lee Davis, knew and admired Brandon and was called to the scene of the accident Friday and spent the night at MCV. My son's heart is broken at the loss of Brandon as well as mine. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and heart break you are going through nor will I say it will get better. I just pray that God will give your family the strengh to go on and for you to know that Brandon was truly loved and admired as indicated by the show of support in Hanover. My prayers have been with you since Saturday morning and continue to be. May God Bless You and give you some sense of Peace in the near future.

My deepest sympathies go out to the Armstrong family. It is so hard to deal with the loss of a family member, but it is so much harder when it is your child. The only thing you can do is take it day by day and remember all the good times you shared and the amount of time you had together. It will get better with time, but take your time to grieve and do it your own way. Your family and all of Brandon's friends will continue to be in my prayers. RIP Brandon! Keep smiling down on all of us!

Brandon had a heart of Gold and a smile for everyone he met. I will miss him and when I lived in the ville him & my son always showing up in the middle of the night with some story about there trucks and some hill or mud hole and always teasing them I will get my stool to reach them to hug them.. they are both 6'4" The last time I saw Brandon was in Walmart in Mech. I heard someone yelling Mom and I turned around and it was him I got a great big hug and a kiss on the cheek. I have so many kids that I didn't give birth to and I am HONORED that Brandon was one of them!He will be missed but never forgotten his spirit will live on forever in all of us who loved him so. Chip & Connie thank you for sharing your son with us his love is a true reflection of you two and your love. I pray for God to wrap his loving arms around you and your family & comfort you in your time of need. If there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to contact me.

Chip, Connie and Jamie, Just a line to express our Sincere Sorrow for your Loss. Not knowing what to say at a time like this would be typical and probably the easy way out. We didn't have the pleasure of knowing Brandon, but we were able to see the sparkle in Chips eyes whenever he spoke of his 2 boys, he stood a little taller, smiled a little bigger and had a just a hint of mischeviousness in his voice. In the bible Pride is a sin, but when it comes to our children it is truely a Blessing. Your family will be in our Prayers Daily and in our Hearts every moment. God Bless

The feeling is unexplainable when you lose someone close. I didn't know Brandon very well, but I've known Jamie for a long time. I've met Brandon a couple of times and heard tremendous things about him. My thoughts are with the family and friends of Brandon Armstrong. This year has been pretty upsetting with so many close friends of mine who have been taken from us, but may he watch over us all and bring some sort of peace to this tragedy. Brandon was loved by many and may it always continue. Times have been hard for everyone lately, but it seems times like these are when everyone should come together as friends and a community instead of always in a rush and panic. May we be able to enjoy life and always remember the ones who weve lost ... Rest In Peace Brandon Armstrong & may God bring peace and serenity to the friends and family of Brandon.

Brandon, I just don't even know where to begin. A part of my heart is gone and I'm trying so hard to hold it together but can't. You were the best friend anyone could ask for. You always bent over backwards for the ones you loved to make sure they were always happy, even if it meant you didn't get what you wanted. And all your witty comments that came in a moment of silence always kept things entertaiing. You not only have touched my life, but so many others as well. I am so lucky that I had the chance to get to know you and be a part of your life. I am forever going to miss you and you will never be forgotten! Keep a good eye on us up there! We got the best angel in the world. Until we meet again. <3

May 17, 2011

Chip, Connie, Jamie, Mary and Gene,
As I try, there are no words that can convey anything that would be considered comforting at this time.
I have so many happy memories with your family. Everytime I look back on my childhood with you guys, all I think are happy thoughts. Growing up on the farm and having you all there all the time like family, is one of the memories that is ingrained in my mind - always. Every time I think of Gene, Mary and Chip, all I have are happy thoughts equated with each and every one of you. I can only imagine that Brandon carried that smile always as a testiment to how happy he felt in this close family, and I hope that it is a comfort to know that with the short quanity of time you had with him, there was that quality of profound happiness, ever present, in his life, in his loving and happy family.
I am thinking of you and praying for you as one parent to another. There isn't anything magical that anyone can say to help with the pain of your loss, but know there are others who will stand beside you and be there in constant thought and prayer with you and for you - as your family has touched many lives over the years through their loving kindness.
Love

Heaven Only Knows

He takes our loved ones from us,
We know not the reason why.
We can only comprehend the sorrows in our hearts
From the moment their souls bless the sky.

He picks them like flowers from a field,
Some prepared for his presence,
So without a chance to yield.
He'll choose them and leave alone the others.

It doesn's matter if the ones he chose
Are someone's Brothers, best friends, Mothers or Fathers.
But somehow, when reminiscing, after all the tears are cried,
We remember all the reasons we loved them,
And know with all our hearts,
Why God himself would want them by his side.

Brandon will be missed by many! He was one of the greatest people I have ever met. He always had a smile on his face and could always make you laugh when you were feeling down. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Armstrongs who lost a wonderful family member. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You will never be forgotten. R.I.P Brandon Cole Armstrong!

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

I don't know what to say, you were just here at the shop joking with me about how long it took me to put a new tranny in blakes jeep. I just gave you a pinch that I owed you right before you shook my hand and said you'd see me tomorrow... you will be missed so much and you affected so many lives, you will not be forgotten for one minute. R.I.P. Brandon
