Rita,
I was so very sorry to learn of the passing of your son. You was just talking about him in the hair salon a few weeks ago. I know he was so dear to your heart. Just remember that Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal.
Sorrowfully submitted

Our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow.
"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that your gone, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget."
Love, Darryl & Brittni Walker

I had the pleasure of meeting Brandon at Liberty Middle School several years ago.
He was a remarkable young man. Always very positive and always had the broadest smile on his face.
He did not let anything get the best of him.
He really touched the hearts of all who came in contact with him.
I just learned of his passing a few minutes ago. Would have attended the service had I known. It is going on as I type this.
God has added a special person to his Kingdom.
