Oh, Colleen, I am so, so deeply sorry to hear about Brendan. I am thinking of and praying for you and your whole family. I find this little part of a poem by Thomas Campbell to be of some solace. I hope you do too: "To live in hearts we leave behind, is not to die." Brendan certainly lives in all of your hearts, and he is waiting for you in Heaven. God bless all of you. With love,
