Branden V. Wyatt

Well the day is here. It has officially been one year since you left us. It's really surreal, it feels like just yesterday that we got the news, but at the same time, I feel like so much has happened since then. The days after your death seem like a blur, a whirlwind. What I remember most from those days are the people. The ones who were there for us and supported us through the darkest days of our lives. I have been feeling very anxious about this day, not knowing how I would feel or how I would handle it. Sometimes, when I feel ok, it makes me feel so bad. I feel like my intense grief and sadness is the only tangible connection I have to you, and I want so badly to hang on to that. I'm terrified to continue through the grieving process because I'm afraid if I heal, I will lose you. Today I have actually been feeling an immense amount of gratitude. I am grateful to the people who love and support me and made an impact on me, no matter how big or small, during this process. I am even more grateful for my relationship with Danielle and mom, and most of all, I am so grateful that the intolerable pain I felt this time last year is slightly more tolerable today. I guess if I have learned anything this year, it's that through all of the sorrow and pain and stuff we go through, I do have a lot to be grateful for, and its something I need to recognize and practice more in my every day life. The lessening of pain today does not mean I love or miss you any less, it just means today, at this very moment, I'm doing ok, no telling what tomorrow will bring. I love you Branden, I miss you every day.

Hi son today marked the one year anniversary of your passing. Your dad and i spent the day together. we figured since it was the worst day of our lives last year we should spend it together this year.
I woke up this morning feeling all shaky inside. I was fearful to walk through this day, I didn't want to relive the worst day of my life. your dad came over we went to breakfast. we didn't know what we were doing we really needed a third person to to just decide and get us there.
We went to the landing and a place called garden park. when we got there a band was playing that was great for us both.
they didn't play long enough. we walk around taking some pictures wanting to remember what we did together on this day.
Your dad and I worried about each other not knowing how we were going to be taking this day. We went and ate some hot chicken wings in honor of you son.
I called your ama today just to tell her that you loved her very much. I couldn't talk to her long knowing I was going to break down.
I know you would of wanted me to reach out to her.
There are no words son to express how much I miss you and my hearts aches so much.
if I didn't have your sisters I would be with you. I have days I feeling I am starting to heal. only to find myself in bed for a week question if i even want to be here.
I love and miss you so much I will write soon

I haven't written in a while. Not because I am not thinking of you, and certainly not because I've already healed from losing you, I just haven't known what to say. I still think of you many many times a day, but its hard to describe how I'm feeling on any given day. The immense guilt I felt over what could or should have been done to prevent this tragedy has lifted, but its been replaced by the guilt I feel for starting to feel ok. Then there are still days where I am incredibly sad, or incredibly numb, and sometimes its easier to just not talk about it. I miss you. Its been exactly one year since I saw you or hugged you. Its a day I will never forget. I had no clue it would be the last time I would see you, but I'm grateful for the time I spent with you that day. Grateful that I got to hook my arm in yours as we walked, grateful I could lean over and give you a hug before you got out of the car. As we get closer and closer to the year anniversary of your death, I cant help but wonder what our lives would be like if none of this had happened. What your life would be like, where you would be, what you would be doing. I try not to dwell on it to much, but I know I will always wonder what would have been. We all love you and miss you very much.

I was shopping for a birthday card for Alicia the other day. I noticed the category of "for brother from sister" and "for sister from brother," and it occurred to me this is yet another thing I will never do for you/receive from you.
It really does seem like this whole process is two steps forward and then one backwards.
Love you. Miss you.

I have been thinking of you a lot today. It's been almost a year since you died. I have been wondering how long your death would shadow things and remain a current defining moment in my life. I had gone a few days where thinking of you did not happen during my morning routine. I saw progress in this, and yet felt some guilt at the same time. This morning I was hit with intense sadness about you. Then, coincidentally one of our nephews posted a message about you. It reminded me of how much we affect others, and how rarely we realize this. I hope that you are now aware of this somehow.
I miss and love you.

Happy Birthday Branden. Cannot believe you would have been 21 this week. For some reason I have always put your 21st birthday up on this pedestal. I guess I always held on to hope that you could beat your addiction, and be able to go have your first legal drinks with no issues, be able to celebrate it "normally." I have been struggling with my feelings about this day, and what to say. I feel sadness and guilt that you spent your last birthday away and I missed your call that day, and that I bought you a card and totally forgot to send it. I guess I have also been struggling with your birthday because I realize, chances are,if you were still here, your addiction would still have a grip on you, and maybe we wouldn't have spent your 21st birthday together anyway. Either way my dream is shattered. There has been a ton of recent arrests and busts that have been all over the media, with pictures of the people and houses that have been targeted, and I can say that I am grateful that you were spared from being apart of that. Every time I read the stories and look at the images, I wonder who you might have known. This week has been overwhelming to say the least. I love you Branden and I miss you so so much, Happy Birthday kiddo.

Hi baby it's your 21st birthday today. We are having a party in honor of your life. we are meeting at a park having some good food, and releasing 21 balloons. you were born at 10;21 I tried to smile as that time came today, however I started crying and laughing at the same time.
I had dinner with Amanda the other day with her new boyfriend. Branden you would of liked him.
Amanda has 10 months in clean some of that is due to you and her boyfriend.
Your 21st birthday was not suppose to be this way.
you were going to go out with your sisters and have your first drink in a bar. your life should of been just begin.
Your Dad and I will be together in honor of you birth. Your dad was so proud the day you were born. I cant stop crying son some times I think it gets harder to be with out you as time passes.
This last week it seems just as hard to accept your gone, as it was when I was told you were gone.
I don't know how any parent lives a normal life after loosing a child.
I keep thinking what some one told me, that maybe God spared you a life time of pain. when I think of it that way some times it helps.
For I would rather be in pain then you be in pain.
I miss you so much I body just aches still.
Your brother has back surgery yesterday everything is fine. I told myself if something had happen to him, I would be joining you both.
You were such a beautiful little boy. Actually when you were a baby you were kind of ugly, but always loved baby.
people still post on your face book in missing you. I wished you would of know in your heart how loved you were by so many people.
I want you to come to me please in a dream let me know your happy and at peace.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVING SON.

I had a dream about you the other day. It began as work, with me being outside at a picnic table with some fictional child. Then suddenly our family was there. You were maybe 6 years old. You and I were joking about what would happen if you ate paper. I guess I began to realize this was a dream, that you were gone. I started crying in the dream, while everyone else continued with the picnic. I woke up and then felt very mad at myself for waking up. I tried to go back to sleep, but of course that did not work.
I miss you. I still think about you dozens of times a day.

It's been awhile since I've posted on here, but I still get emails to my phone when someone posts on here & I read through them. It's still not real that you're gone, sometimes I feel like it's still some dream when I know that it is very much a real thing. I miss you and I still continue to cherish all the memories that I have with you. You were a very special part of my life & had a big impact on how I molded into the person I am today. You may be gone but one thing is certain, I won't forget you. You are forever in my heart & I hope that you are watching down on all of us especially your family. I love you.

Someone asked me the other day if I was a big sister or a little sister. As I began to automatically respond with, "I'm both" I hesitated. Am I still considered a big sister now that you are gone? Is that a title I still get to carry even though I will never again play that role? My heart tells me yes of course I will always be your big sister, but in a situation such as that one, what was the correct response? I ended up saying I'm both, but my little brother actually passed away recently. I could tell this really embarrassed the person I was talking to, which I knew it would. While I didn't mean to go out of my way to make them uncomfortable, it felt wrong to leave you out. Just another example of a common situation that is completely foreign and different now, something else I have been struggling with. I read a quote the other day that said "when a sibling dies, you lost the past and the future." I thought that summed up my feelings in relatively simple way. I grieve for our past, your short past, but I am also absolutely devastated for the new future we have to face without you. I miss you. More than anything I hope you knew how freaking much you were loved and how much you are missed. I hope you never felt we would be better off without you, because we are not. We are broken without you. I FINALLY had another dream about you last night, it had been a while. But there you were plain as day, on your phone of course. And as I hugged and kissed you and made such a big deal of you being there, you couldn't figure out why. In my dream you had no clue you were gone. You thought everything was normal, and I couldnt tell you otherwise. I just sat with you until I woke up. I love you so so much kiddo and I miss you every minute of every day.

Hello son I wrote some thing for you. I am having your dad write some misc to this.
I know you have to be playing your music for all the angles to hear,
Your probable jamming with some old times that got to heavens gates before you arrived.
old timers like Hendrix Joplin and Bob Harley. Just to mention a few.
I hope they know how bless they are to have you up in heaven.
all I have lifted here on earth is a emptiness in my heart,
now that your addiction can't ho;d you prisoner, you free to explore the talent you lost sight of here on earth.
I know your free from all your pain shame and guilt.
you fear has been replaced the faith from your holy father you have met.
I hope they know how bless they are to have you up in heaven.
Here on earth all i have is an emptiness in my heart,
Son do you have moon shine or is it sunny all the time.
I know you have had the best pizza and hot wings than you have ever tasted.
I hope they know how bless they are to have you up in heaven,
Here on earth I am left with a emptiness in my heart.
Have you seen your grandparents some friends your uncle Randy or Tom.
Knowing your happier up in heaven is what helps me take my next breath.
i love you son and miss you more than words could express.
till we meet again in heaven i will carry you in my heart

I just want to tell you again and again that I miss you and love yo sooo much

I found this poem about grief the other day.
"You don't get over it
You just get through it
You don't get by it
Because you can't get around it
It doesn't just "get better"
It just gets different
Every day...
Grief puts on a new face."
Miss you Branden

Hi baby Easter has gone and passed and some how I got through the day. I tried to keep busy but you where on my mind and heart all day long. I don't know how to do this son live with out you. I am just taking one day at time, It just don't seem to be getting any better.
I love you baby and miss you sooooo much

Hello son
I got a phone call from one of your friends asking for you. His name was Roman he said you met in jail.
He had not known what had had happen, I told him.
I also asked him to please not to do the same thing to his mother and loved ones. that the pain is so great.
I told him that if he finds himself in a place he needs help to please call me. I couldn't save you son maybe I can help someone else.
I know that's what you would want me to do.
If you have any pull up there, can you get to your father and let him know your ok.He is having a hard time.
I love you and muss you so muck

There is not a day that goes by that I don't cry because my baby boy is gone. son being with out you is not getting any easier. I don't know how to put my life back together after it being ripped apart.
I am not any closer to understanding or acceptance of you being gone, then I was the day the detectives came to our house and told me. I had a dream about you the other nite i have had a few of them since you have been gone. this was the first dream I'v had, where I was able to hold you kiss on you and play with that beautiful curly hair of yours
I know I have never felt pain like this before
The only thing that keeps me here on this earth right now, is not wanting your brother or sisters to go through the pain of loosing their mother. they are already is so much pain of loosing their you.
I love and miss you so much son please come back to me in my dreams that's all i have right now
love mom

So we have made it over 6 months without you. I wish I could say that in that time I have come to some sort of profound understanding or acceptance of you being gone. But I have not. We keep going about with our lives because we have no other choice, we have to, but that doesn't mean that the absence of your presence isn't felt every minute of every day. I miss you. Everywhere I look things remind me of you, I find myself bringing you up in everyday conversations just to be able to talk about you in a "normal" way. I have been writing about you a lot, it helps me work through some of my feelings about how we got to this point, but mostly it helps me remember you, especially the small little details that I am so afraid to forget. I sincerely hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel to the intense grief we all still feel. We love you and miss you so so much Branden.

It's still hard to believe you are gone. I still cry everyday. I am still subject to random crying spells while driving or out in public (luckily the weather has broken so wearing sunglasses will make it less noticeable). I try to think of the potential grace in it all; that at least you will not suffer anymore. But it doesn't diminish how much we all still miss you.

I was at a meeting two nights ago. Parents who lost a child to heroin.at the end of the meeting we were ask to share something about our child that made us smile. I thought about the time you asked me to marry you. I had said son I can't marry you and you said please mom please marry me.
I thought that was the sweetest thing any one has ever said to me. I truly miss you my love
Love more.

I have been very aware of my heightened empathy for people facing loss the last few months. I guess I never truly realized how painful it is until I lost you. I managed to think I had a couple good weeks, until I realized I was just not letting myself really think of your death. However my mind wouldn't let me escape it because I dreamt about you last night. It's still just so incredibly devastating that you are gone.

Ok baby it's now a few weeks after New year's. If you can see what goes on down here, you know I am not doing well. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up. I just don't know how to walk through this pain. I love and miss you so much. Son come to me in a dream or something I need some hope your in a better place. Love mom

It is now days after Christmas, I can say Christmas was a really hard day for me. i didn't get out of bed. All i could do was cry and sleep cry and sleep. i didn't want to talk with any one or be around any one. i am glade it's over. I look forward to the new year. I just want 2014 to be over.
i remember when you were a little boy and couldn't go to sleep on Christmas eve you wanted to wait up for Santa to come. how big your eyes would get when you woke up Christmas morning. the year when you were 2 and got your first set of drums. I remember when you were five. you asked me to marry you. i said baby I can't marry you and you kept saying please mom marry me. Damn son I miss you so much.
I found a birthday card you gave me last year for my birthday, the only card you got me all on your on i cried when I read it, at the same time was so glade i found it. I have it sitting up on my TV so I can keep reading the words. I miss you baby
love Mom

Merry Christmas. I thought a lot about you last night. I thought about how the three of us would sleep in the same room on Christmas Eve, Alicia and I going along with your belief in Santa (and you never slept alone). I thought about our phone call about last Christmas. I still have all these texts from you. I haven't deleted them, but I also don't read them. Honestly, most of them are really sad.I haven't decided what I will do with them.
I really miss you. It is still surreal you are not here. There is still a tiny part of my brain that likes to believe it is somehow not true.
I love you.
Merry Christmas,

So its Christmas Eve, a day we have all known was looming on the horizon, a day I think we would all just rather forget this year. I have been wondering how I would feel today, and honestly, at this point, it feels like any other day. Maybe that is the change since you are gone, holidays feel just like any other day now. I have moments of such numbness, when I think maybe I am finally all cried out, but then I have other moments with the most intense, overwhelming feeling of grief and loss and my tears come back. As I still struggle to accept your death, I have been thinking a lot about all of the future events that will no longer happen. How I always talked about taking you out on your 21st birthday, your wedding day, or when you had a child. Or that my future child wont ever know their uncle Branden, and that makes me so sad. You were supposed to be here for all of those things and more, to be apart of our family as life unfolded. Unfortunately we have already endured holidays without you. Our last Christmas together was in 2012, but we had no clue it would be our last. I love you so so much Branden. The world truly is a darker place without you in it. I miss you, Merry Christmas.

We just had our first thanksgiving with out you son. I did my best to hold back my tears.
I didn't want to bring the family down, However I know we were all thinking of you.
Now Xmas is right around the corner I really don't know if I want to do this any more. I was moving some things, I found a box that said Branden's baby things. I couldn't bare to open the it and look at your things. I carry a photo of you and me at all times. I talk to you every day telling I love you and miss you so much.
I don't know son if I am strong enough to keep on breathing some times the pain is too much. I love you baby I really miss you

I was asked the other day if I have siblings. I answered the question the same way I have for the past 20 years, thinking I should not tell this semi-stranger that you are gone. She then proceeded to ask me what I was getting my younger brother for Christmas (she needed ideas). I did not want to make things “awkward” so I pretended like you were alive; as if I knew what I was going to buy you for Christmas; as if I was going to see you on Christmas. I walked away thinking about how I would need to eventually change how I answer that question or become comfortable telling people you are gone in casual conversations. I do not really know what I will do.
Like Alicia, I also put up my Christmas tree. I also thought a lot about you. I thought about that picture of you and Alicia in front of the tree when you were younger. I thought about how it was on a memory board at your funeral. I saw Alicia later in the day and it turns out she had the same thoughts about the Christmas tree, of you, and of the picture. It's nice that she is one of the few people I know that can completely relate to how I feel. But it is sad that this is yet another thing she and I have bonded over.
I really miss you.

I put up my Christmas tree tonight, and it was so so sad. That used to be an event we always did together as a family, and honestly it hurts to even look at it. I'm trying, I'm really really trying but I still cant seem to get it together. There are moments when I am in sheer panic because I think that I cant remember your voice. And then I can hear you clear as day in my head, but I wonder how long that memory will last. I have other moments when I think everything will be ok, and that too quickly disappears. I feel like the people around us are starting to move on, continuing on with their lives, and I dont blame them, but I simply cant. There is not substitute for my little brother. I love you, I miss you.

Thanksgiving was difficult. I kept being hit with waves of anxiety about the fact that you were not there and would never be there again. I have been thinking a lot about the special relationship people have with younger siblings. I used to help you get dressed, taught you things, and watched the same movies repeatedly because they were your favorite. I remember how Alicia and I would act out Barney songs to entertain you. I am still just indescribably sad that you are gone. I hope that you are at peace.

Sometimes I almost forget that you aren't around anymore, I feel like it was all some nightmare and that you're off singing and goofing around but I get a hard reality check when I read through your guest book. I miss you & I think about you a lot & cry about as much. I hope that you are at peace up in heaven & are watching over all of us, especially your wonderful family. Happy holidays Branden. Give me some sort of sign that you're still around and watching over us, I could really use it.

Thinking about you everyday my heart feels unable to be re sewn. I'm so lonely without you no matter who I'm around. You bring me comfort when I'm most down, keep holding on for you. I love you Branden forever and always

So its been three months, and we have had our first holiday without you. It was difficult to have Thanksgiving without you here. It will always be difficult to have holidays without you. I have never gone this long without seeing or talking to you, and while its been super hard, its even more overwhelming to know that it will always be like this. Everyday I think about the last time I saw you, the last time I talked to you, and I wish I could go back to that day more than anything. I still feel so much regret and guilt over losing you and I wish there was something I could do to change the outcome, but I know I can't. I love you Branden, I really hope you knew how much we all love you.

Tomorrow is thanksgiving son, you will not be sitting at the table with us. I an tell you one thing for sure you are in all our hearts.
Grandma passed 35 days after you, I hope you are all together at peace most of all feeling safe and sense that you belong. I am so sorry son if I would of known, I would of done anything to save your life. I should of been there for you. instead of you were left on your own. I would of giving up my life if I had that choice. There is not a day that goes by I don't think of you and cry. My heart still aches the same as the same day I was told.I hope you can see how much you were loved. I wish you were here, us just playing around.I am trying son to go on with my life.Some days I don't think I can go on,
Then your sisters or brother call me letting me know that I must find a way to keep going on.
I love you so much son I miss you more than anything in life. Happy thanks giving son

I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I was recently in Mexico and it was during the Day of the Dead rituals. This made me think that on your birthday we should do something similar....make a tribute to you and bring some of your favorite foods and hats. I actually thought about the time you claimed you were allergic to bone-in chicken wings and how I would need to bring boneless wings if we celebrated the Day of the Dead.
It was strange to be in a such a beautiful and relaxing place and then suddenly experiencing these waves of remembering you were gone.I really wish I could talk to you again.

I still can't believe my baby is gone. In just a few days we will be having a service for your Grandmother and uncle Randy.I truly hope you are with them. i pray you have some peace now.
I hope some how you can see all the people that loved you.
I don't want to celebrate the holidays this year.i don't know how to celebrate any thing with you gone. most days son I don't even want to be on this earth.
I am just trying to breath and get through one more day.I miss you so much baby. come to me in my dreams.

Been thinking about you a lot today. You've been gone for two months and I still cant quite wrap my head around the loss. We all miss you so much Branden, I dont know if you ever really understood how much you were (and still are) loved, I hope you did. Me and Danielle got bracelets made to hold your ashes. Now you can be with us all of the time. I will take you with me wherever I go. I love you and miss you baby brother.

I still can't believe my baby boy is gone.nothing seem real to me any more. I truly don't know if I am strong enough to endure the pain I have in my heart. I have so much I want to say. I want to touch your face.see your smile, even to hear you say whatever mom. I love you baby boy. I am truly trying to walk through this pain, learning to embrace a new life, nothing can mend my heart till I am with you again

To Trina, her family and those who love Brandon- In 1 Corinthians we are told to "let love be our highest goal..." This is to be above all other things. When I think of Brandon and the love he gave, I can"t help but smile because I understand that Brandon achieved life's purpose. To love richly, deeply, fully and without measure. What a beautiful gift he had. And what a beautiful gift he gave.
The Apostle Paul gives this encouragement: “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13). Then he describes the moment when the dead in Christ will rise and we will all be caught up in the air to join Christ. We will be together with our loved ones forever. What a wonderful hope! Paul doesn't say, “Don't grieve”; rather he says, “Don't grieve as those without hope.” Grieving is okay, but your grief doesn't have to lead to despair. In your grief, find hope in the promises of Christ, who has overcome death and promises you an eternal reunion with the one you love.

I've been thinking about you a lot, some days I can't get you off my mind. I so badly wish that I could talk to you about how I'm feeling because you were always so open to listening without judgement & only with kind words. You're the first person I've ever really known to die & it seems so unreal that you aren't here & I can't come talk to you. I'm trying to accept that you're gone but I'm having a hard time letting go. I love you.

Cannot believe it has been a month already. What I wouldnt give to turn back the clock. I love you Branden, we are thinking of you today, and everyday.

I am still not really sure how to verbalize how the last few weeks have been. It is heartbreaking you are gone. Life is, to say the least, different without you in it. While I have lost some friends in the past, nothing compares to losing a brother, my little brother. I can say that I am grateful that over the last several months, I did get to know you in a way that I had not since you were little. I will hold on to that.
I will always remember you as a curly-headed little boy that Alicia and I lived to entertain; a boy that had a stutter and would love to play dress up with his sisters. You were incredibly sweet and loving.
I love you and miss you,
Your sister

Words can truly not describe the intense sadness and emptiness I feel without you Branden. I still remember the day that mom sat Danielle and I down and told us she was pregnant, and I was DEVASTATED! I was the baby of the family, I hadn't had a little brother or sister before, and at 8 years old, I didn't think I wanted one. Little did I know how much you would transform my life. From the minute you were born I was completely enamored with you. I would rock you, sing to you, feed you and even change your diapers. Your first years were the time I remember our family being the closest, everyone just wanted to be with you, you brought a new joy to our family and for that I will be forever grateful. Then as the years passed, and we all grew up and started going different directions, the love and closeness I felt for you never changed, even though I didn't live at home anymore. I wanted so so much to be able to be there for you, to guide you the way Danielle did me, but life does not always work out the way we plan. I always had big hopes for you, dreams of our family's future all together, and now I have to change that plan. Now we have to learn to live without you here, and it just really really sucks without you. You really were one of the sweetest and kind hearted people I knew. You were never “to cool” to give me a hug or tell me you loved me, even when you were in your teenage phase or around your friends, you certainly loved unconditionally, and you wore your heart on your sleeve most of the time. We all make mistakes, and even when you made yours, I know how much it affected you, how much it hurt you to think that you hurt others or disappointed others, especially your family. I can tell you Branden Wyatt that so many people loved and cared about you and the only disappointment is that you are no longer here with us. It is far too overwhelming to think about the rest of my life without you in it. Not to see those big blue eyes, or hear your voice is something I am still struggling to come to terms with. So I am taking it one day at a time, sometimes just one hour at a time. I miss you so much already. I am very grateful for the time we had together, especially the phone calls and letters over the last few months. And I am grateful for some of the small lessons you taught me. Not to be quite as selfish, especially as an 8 year old little girl with a new baby in the house, how to open my heart and let people in, and most recently how to be ok with feeling my feelings and ask for help or for space when I need it. While I don't want to say goodbye to you, I hope that one day I feel peace that you are forever safe now. 20 years is just not long enough to have you as my little brother, and while you may not be with me anymore, I will always always be your big sister, and I will always always love you more than you will ever know. RIP Branden Wyatt, my little baby brother, I miss you every day.

It is better to have love and lost then to of never of loved at all. Branden Vincent I am so grateful to of been given your gift of love you have taught me a lot... You are one of a kind and I will never get over that I lost you, we have lost you. It's still unreal I don't know where my mind has been without you. Your death, babe has sent out a big message to those who took their time to hear your story. This is the biggest tragedy of my life. You are loved by so many and always will be. You gave me the most precious moments of my life and the motivation to do things I would of never had the courage to pursue.

My prayers are with all of you on your tremendous loss. I have many years of awesome memories of Branden. He had a huge heart and loved his family and friends. He will be missed. Your angel is watching over all of you now. Love all of you!

I am so sorry for your loss. No words I can say will heal your wounds but Branden was and is a beautiful soul loved by so many. He filled many people with joy. I've known him since I was just a little girl and he was always so sweet and caring for others. He is now at peace god needed him and he's still here with us all somewhere, in someone else. We will meet him again. Love you branden wyatt always and forever.

I am so sorry to Branden & his family. We were close for a long time, since we were nine. I will never forget all of the precious moments I shared with you. You used to sing cute is what we aim for to me on the phone when we were 11, you were always so positive & so openly loving to everyone. It feels like a nightmare that I can't wake up from, I've been crying since I found out & I cried 100 times harder at your funeral. I miss you so much & I will forever cherish the times we shared & the amazing impact you had in my life. You were the most kind hearted person I've ever known & i know that you are in a much better place now where there is no pain or suffering. I will be hurting for a long long time. I just can't believe it...I love you always & I will never forget you. Rest In Peace my sweet friend.
Love Always, Morgan Carlson

Dear Trina, saying that I am sorry for your loss does not even cover it, but it is all I know to say. My favorite memory of Branden is when Kevin was little and wanted to tag along with the big boys... Branden let him and it made that little kid's day! He was just awesome like that. And one thing I do know for sure.....that boy knew his mother's love. I have witnessed you teach him and love him in so many ways. I have seen you love him when he needed love, and let go when he needed you to let go. That is what a mother does. I pray that you find peace in knowing that he is cared for by our God now. And do not forget about the caterpillar in the pastor's story. I love you Trina, and I am praying for you and your family.

Trina, we are so very sorry for your loss. The girls and I were reminiscing about how many fun times the kids had together. Praying for peace for all of you.

Trina we are so so sorry for your loss. Many prayers go out to you and your family during this time. He is with God now. May he rest in peace. All our love,
Angie and Ryan Fromme

My dear friend, I am so sorry and my heart aches for you. Our boys grew up in so many ways together as we did as moms. He is safe in God's arms and will suffer no more pain. Treasure the happy, silly times you shared. With all my love.

Trina, my heart aches for you. I'm so sorry. Our kids had so many connections...I'm finding out now. He will be missed but NEVER forgotten!!!
