Our Angel

Brandon Kelly
Time has gone by but it has not diminished my love for you. I miss you more with each passing day. The void you left in my heart can never be filled.

Brandon.... We miss you as much today as we did the day you left us! You seem to always be around both of us, especially at 11:11 each day. We will remember you especially this Palm Sunday (April 14, 2019) as our whole church will be praying for you in our mass intentions. I know you will hear us and receive those prayers in Heaven. We continue to love and miss you so very much.

We had nop idea but we were Blessed!

I am sure nobody looks at this anymore Brandon. Life goes on for those who are alive. It's been over 4 years and I still cannot grasp not having your warm embrace. I miss you deeply.

DAD

To my sweet friend Mary. I am so very sorry for your loss. I recently found the card I thought I had mailed. A sick feeling came over me when I realized you had no idea how much I had been thinking about you. I really think about you and Brandon so often and can't imagine your pain. I read what Brandon wrote about him being an angel with limited time here and truly believe he had a higher calling.I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Peace and much love, Kelli

I miss you Brandon

I met Brandon while recovering from a SCI in 2009 at Banner Good Samaritan - he was assigned to work with me. That brief time at intensive physical therapy with him has left me with many fond memories. So much time at wheel chair training, joking and working out with what little muscles left but I just want his family and friends to know that it was through his positive inspiration that I now walk. It is a long road but my work as a peacebuilder and the positive impact he had on me makes...

I want everyone to know that I have found comfort in reading all of your heartfelt expressions of sympathy. My family and I are far from understanding this and coming to grips with our new reality. I am starting to believe that perhaps Brandon was an Angel sent through us and that his time here was limited from the start. I know many of you will think that this is either silly or simply deranged talk from a grieving Dad. I/we will never get the answers as to why this happened. I will learn to...

To the Barth family and Lexi, My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time.

~God Bless,

To the Barth family & Lexi - May the Lord bless you with grace & comfort. I went to school with both Brandon & Lexi, my prayers go out to you right now Lexi. I pray the Lord visits you and encounters you with His LOVE, filling you up... reminding you of His great plans for you, even in your grief. God bless you.
