I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. My heart just about burst when I heard. My Prayers and deepest love go out to you. Even though it's been awhile since I last saw him; after being at the funeral home, I could see he must have been a wonderful young man. So many had come to pay their respects and to honor his memory. What a blessing. He will continue to bless those he came in contact with for a very long time. I can still see him as a toddler stomping around in his boots roaring like a monster!! God bless you

Stacey, I was so shocked to hear about Brandon. I know exactly the loss and grief you feel because my dad died on July 1 2010, and I just buried him on July 5. Some 3 weeks ago. So I definitely know what a pain and loss you are feeling in this most difficult time. May God bless you and comfort you and strengthen you during this time. Your friend, Sid
