Dear Val:

I just heard about the terrible loss of your son. I remember sitting in your office as you talked glowingly about both of your children, and the hopes and dreams you had for Michael as he attended the State Trooper camp. I mourn your loss. My heart breaks for you and your family. May God give you strength as you grieve Michael's death.

Dear Brander Family,
Thank you for letting me meet your wonderful son. I can not count the great times we had working at Braeside together. He will forever be missed and in my heart. You have my deepest sorrows and I wish you all well in this tough time. Llike they say "The good die young" and he has proved that quote to be true, he truly was an amazing person.

Dear Val, Mike and Cassey: We were so schocked to hear about the death of little Mikey. I can't imagine the pain and sense of loss that you are experiencing right now. Just know that Jesus will take care of you and put your sorrow and pain into his arms, he will carry you. Mike was very special to the girls as they considered him to be their counsin too. He was a joy to be around. Know that although he is not here with you physically he is with us in spirit and that will never end. ...

I am so terribly sorry to hear of your loss. I did not ever get the pleasure of meeting Micheal, but after reading through other entries and just from knowing you Val, I know that Michael was a wonderful person. How could he be anything else with such a great, loving mom. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you through this difficult time.
