Here I am sitting on the couch trying to find the words to express how you are missed by your girls.Not a day goes by without a"Brandon" or "Dad" reference. Your girls have become such smart,thoughtful,giving,loving young ladies. You would be so so Proud of them.(like in the hospital right after Lauren's birth. You took a picture then another and another looking around to see if any of the nurses or doctors were looking. You were so proud in that moment.)I know you are watching over your girls and will continue to do so until you meet them once again in etertiny. You are truly missed by all.

Brandon,
You were a good friend of mine in High School. We eventually lost touch and I just recently found out about your passing. I wanted to have a "reunion" with you. You brightened each and every day for me in school. You fended off the Bullies and stood up for me. You are truly missed. My sympathy to your Mom and daughters and family and other friends.

Sure miss you today and ever day. Love You Brandon. Until we meet again.MOM

November 13, 2012
Uncle Brandon,
If there was any doubt about your watching over our family from above that doubt has been shattered... There is no way Nicole would have gotten out of that accident with the little injuries that she did if you weren't still looking out for her like you always have. Thanks so much for keeping her around and safe, your daughters are growing into amazing young women... And they're all taller than me too! Haha I blame you for that one!!
Love,
Your Nephew

Dad,
yesterday was hard...i tried not to grieve about not having you here, but be thankful for the years i did have you. time really does fly by, and although i miss you more than anything, time doesn't stop for anyone and life keeps on going. i wish you were here to see me, and just be proud. but to ask for you back would just be me being selfish. i know you're in a better place, and i've come to accept that. i hope you did something fun on your birthday yesterday..who am i kidding? you're my dad, of course you did something fun. go big or go home right?
i love you more than words can ever explain, and not a seconds goes by when you're not on my mind. love you dad. happy 42nd birthday old man.
March 13, 2012

Dad,
The years pass, and even though they say time heals all wounds, it seems to get harder, each and every day. Not a second goes by when you don't cross my mind, or where a memory doesn't spark. I love you more than words could ever say.
Though i always ask why? Even with an answer, your still not here. And when the day comes, and i get to see you again, none of that will matter. Though we only spent 9 years together, we have enough memories to last a life time, and memories that i know i will hold close and deer to my heart, forever and ever.
Love always,
Lexi <3

Big uncle B....
Still remember you getting stuck in that inner tube on fathers day like it was yesterday...very few times can i remember laughing so hard, it took you forever to get out of it!
Anyways, I'm hanging out with your step-son tomorrow... Funny how things turn out the way they do, even though I think you set it up that way the second you got to heaven...for him and myself. I can speak for us both by saying thanks for that. From what he's told me, you were just as great a dad to him as your own 3 girls...and that's pretty damn good. I wish I could be around for them more often, to drive them places/whatever they need, but sadly being pre-med isn't the easiest thing in the world...who knew!? We're all thinking about you and miss you; watch over those girls today more than ever... They love you so much; I can't imagine what it'd be like if they didn't have your strength (ha, and stubbornness). I know you're watching over everyone; can't wait until we're all together.
p.s. Let Aunt Dorothy know you're there watching over everything. Give her a sign, and help her stay strong... She's already the strongest person I know.
November 17, 2010
Brandon,I know your up there singing with the angles and all our loved ones. Not a single day goes by without you in our thoughts. I can speak for the whole family............it isn't getting any better. Everyone is going about their days wishing you could be there for that great basket one of the girls just shot, the spike that went over the net and and couldn't be returned or simply just having Dad there to be proud and say,"thats my girl". Your girls are strong and will endure!We will continue to keep you alive in our thoughts and our day to day goings on. Your girls are maturing into beautiful young woman. You would be so proud! Until you reunite with your girls some day,I promise to continue raising them with unconditional love,compassion and wisdom.Your girls truly love and miss you Brandon Scott Rockey!

dad,
words can not explain how much i miss you. there is only one man in your life a girl can trust, her father. i'd do anything to have you back. your birthday is coming up, and i cant help to think of you more. i cry everyday in memories of you. but i know your in a happier place. i try to forget november 18th, but that day always comes around, and sorrow is brought upon me grandma mom nicole and lauren, and many others. i try to think of the happy times, so many of them. you always knew how to cheer up anyone. and be the life of the party. i think every single one of your kids, me nicole and lauren got that from you. along with our tallness. mom always says how much she wishes how you could see us devolpe in to young women. but its hard without a father, do chase away the boys, tell us to "cover up" our chest, put on a longer skirt, and just do what dads do. and its hard to come home everyday and know i wont see you. but i know your with me, i can tell and God has blessed me with you as a father. even if i only had you 10 years, those are 10 years of being with you. and memories that i wouldnt trade with the world, even the bad ones. i love more then you know. there is not a more special love then a father daughter love. i'll always be your little girl, and not even death can change that, i will and always will be your little girl. i love you, more then words can explain. i miss you, for i know we will one day see eachother again, but until then, your in my memories, in my heart, in mys soul. i love you dad!
love lexi," your baby girl"

This has been such a difficult year for so many people. Every is hurting so much and in their own way. I have been focusing on our memories we created since 1987. The towels, dancing, our exciting drive, trouble, the weekly flowers, reconnecting and celebrating all of the years we have known each other at our beautiful wedding. I love you so much. I received your message finally that you sent to Lori and will make every effort to do so. I miss you. We all miss you. We are united forever in our marriage; until we see each other again... All my love to "my husband"...Your Wife

Uncle Brandon, even though the last year or so we didn't talk to much I thought it was pretty clear you were the uncle I always had the most fun with. Whether it was talking about throwing chocolate over the fence to the neighbors annoying dogs, trying to dive through inner tubes that were clearly way too small, playing pig while talking as much trash to Uncle Jerry as possible, you were always up for a fun time. You have 3 awesome daughters and a pretty cool step-son I found out as well. Be with them everyday and today especially...and let them know you're there, along with aunt dorothy... because it's not going to be an easy day for any of them. Miss you, and can't wait to see you again someday.

Brandon ~ A year ago today you were in such a dark place that you could not see the light. I pray that you have found eternal peace and happiness. I also pray that your family and your three beautiful daughters have found comfort in their fond and loving memories of you. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones as you rest in peace.

Brandon,Why am I here in your guest book? I can't believe you've been gone almost a year now! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you! How can I not! Lauren has so many of your mannerisms on a day to day bases not to mention your eyes. She was our first miracle! She sustained us through our first everything! I thank you Brandon for Lauren. Nicole,our middle child has your height and your wisdom. When I hold her hands,they are yours. She is strong like you and will exceed in all she does. I thank you Brandon for Nicole. Alexis,our third and final baby. She has your spunk and vigor for life. Not to mention knowing every word to any given song. Especially "Holiday Inn" All three girls sing that one and am proud that their dad knew it before them! Lexy loves you with her whole heart! I thank you Brandon for Alexis. I am so blessed to have three healthy,beautiful loving girls.I thank you Brandon Scott Rockey for giving them to me. I promise to continue raising them with unconditional love, compassion and wisdom. And when that day does arrive for all of us,we know that you will be there to greet each and everyone of us. I know that I know that I know, that the good Lord was there with you holding you all the while. Just like the "Foot Print" poem you read to me and believed so strongly. With that said, we all miss you and keep you alive in our thoughts,your girls dreams and our day to day lives. You are truly,truly missed. Your girls love you Brandon and miss you so so much! Until we meet again...........................

Dear Dad,
I can not wait for December snow, through tough, the hard and the cold. Though on Christmas Eve there's no sleep. Each crack of each stair awaits for me. Although I wake up in bed, I see the tree-the sparkling lights glimmer at me. All I can think of is December snow. I look outside and what do you know, what I see be founds me, for it is December snow looking at thee. Then I see what seems to be, my Father going to hug me. His smile lights up the whole room, his kiss on my cheek means the world to me. He drifts away, He goes with God. But he's still with me as you can see. December snow will never be the same. I will always remember my Dad on Christmas Day.
Love, Lexi

I just head about Brandon. I am so shocked. He was such a nice guy. He made you feel like family when you saw him at the deli.
I'll never forget making you the Christmas cookies & Easter Bread.
I know how difficult it must be for you, it's been 1 1/2 years since I lost my husband & it doesn't seem to get much easier.

We just heard about Brandon's passing and are in total shock. We became friendly over the years when he owned the Deli. We had great conversations about work and children and everything in general. We still talk about the one Christmas Day morning when we heard noise in our driveway and it was Brandon waving and plowing our driveway with his new plow. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you. Brandon was a great man! May he be at peace in heaven.
