Dear Nancy, Bill and Shannon,
I am so deeply sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Brendan. Although I have not seen Brendan in years, I have fond memories of babysitting him as a young boy.

Life is precious. What i find beautiful about it is that each of us truly is a spirit of light. when life here on earth ends the spirit of the beloved lives on in the hearts of those who remain behind. I lost a precious beloved 14 year old on december 10th 2008. knowing that his spirit lives on in those who loved him is a comfort. when grief comes let it come. honor it and honor the place in your heart and life that only Brendan could fill. Let that be a reminder of how precious we all are....

I am still so saddened to hear about Brendan's passing. I went to corpus christi and O'dowd with Brendan, even though I haven't spoken to him in years, memories of my time with him remain so vividly. We were in the same horrible french classes at Corpus :) He always made me laugh and I always remember him being a friend to everyone. It was impossible not to like him. I can't say how sorry I am to his family. I hope you can take comfort that he touched so many lives, including mine. I'm also...

Brendan has a special place in my heart and in our family. I can still hear his laughter and his smile will live on in my memory forever. My fondest memories of Brendan were spending summers together at our grandparents house in Indiana. I can't believe he's gone. My heart aches for everyone. Love and prayers for all of you.
