Though I did not know Brandon or his family, as a mother I can not imagine the pain you all are going through. This is a true tragedy that has hit the heart heavy wondering why or how can someone take such a precious life of a child. I pray God will help your family through this and provide strength and healing in the days, months and years ahead. R.I.P little Angel

I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family and friends of Brandon. I do not know Brandon nor anyone in the family, but his story has really touched my heart. I pray that God wrap his loving arms around you all and provide comfort to you all in such a tragic and trying time. So sorry for such a loss. 15 years old and robbed of such a promising life. May Brandon now fly high with our heavenly father. Jesus be a fence.

Brad , Tiffany and the entire Benson and Wingo families-

I am truly so sorry for your loss. I know it is hard not to question God in a time like this but please look to him for your strength, I have found it's the only thing that can get you through this nightmare.
Brandon is with him and every day here on earth is one day closer to him in heaven.
Know that he is with all of you every second of every day.
Speak his name often to keep his spirit alive.
You will always have my thoughts and prayers.

Love ~ Lisa Sawyer
