I am deeply hurt by the loss of my preschool buddy. Brandon and I went to preschool together and school. He always listened no matter what. In preschool he used to sit on my lap as we would watch the other children play blocks. He was so small and little. He came to all of my birthday parties. He would always say "Katie your so smart and nice I know you will be there to listen to me." I just don't understand. I don't even know what happened but He's in a better place now where he can just rest. Brandon I love you and miss you even though it creeped me out when you wore those glow in the dark contacts. You are always in my heart and your family is in my prayers. Rest In Peace Brandon

I am still in shock over this tragedy! I would have never expected this in a hundred years. I just wish that Brandon would have came to his family and discussed his feelings and problems. Brandon was a very likable young man with alot of talent. My family miss him. I'm sure his mother is happy to now have her son with her for eternity. As everyone knew, they were like two peas in a pod. Rest in peace!! GOD BLESS..

Lil' Brandon, BG, you were a good friend to me, still can't believe you're gone. There are many good things that i can say about you but what stuck out to me was your originality, never afraid to be yourself not caring what people thought. You were one of the, if not the most real person i had the pleasure of calling a friend. You will be missed greatly. I don't see this as a goodbye but a see you later, i know one day our paths will cross again.

Ever since we first met I knew me and him would be close. He had a way of always making me laugh when no one else could, and we could talk about anything. He had so much talent and potential; there was so much for him to offer and share with this world. The memories I have with him are priceless, and each and every little one keeps replaying in my head and heart.

B.G., I love you and I miss you more than you could ever know. You meant so much to me and helped me more than words can express. You brightened up every aspect of my life and I can't begin to repay you. I know I will see you again in Shangri-la, homie. Rest in peace, and I love you.

There are way to many memories to pick out the most memorable ones, but all of them were well worth the time spent. I love and miss you! We will see each other again someday, save a spot for me. Rest in Peace.

September 26, 2009

Brandon..may God be with you..you now are with your mom..hope you are at peace..I remember you as a little boy, when you came to my house on Harless st. when I first moved to this state. I believe you were one of my daughter Amanda's first best friend when we came here..you were at my house almost everyday...as you guys grew older you were still friends..but not as close as you were when you guys were 9 and 10..Then seeing you here last year was wonderful..you were all grown up..and Im sorry I didnt get to see you as much as I used to, You will always be in our thoughts. Rest in Peace..

Forever, Amanda Gannello and mom Kathleen DeRosa
