Brandon, I'm so sorry for your loss. You Mom as an amazing person and was always planning some event. She had the gift of welcoming anyone into her home and making them feel like family. She and Michael had a wonderful life, and I'm blessed to have known her. I will always remember her with fond memories in Port St. Lucie and the many events at the house.

Haven't seen you in quite a while but got to reconnect a few years ago, got a hold of you and used old saying "stud muffin" from Marriot days. Had some great times at the bars and at Crystal Beach. Will missing going back and forth with Bills games hopefully they can make it to Super Bowl so you can root for them from heaven. Won't be able to go to Buffalo for celebration but will be in our prayers.

I was shocked to hear that Johnna passed away. I had just seen her at a family wedding and we had a wonderful time. I am glad I shared that time with her. She had a bright smile and a generous spirit. I was blessed to call her cousin, and will miss her presence. My thoughts and prayers are with our family as we remember Johnna´s love and light. I am unable to attend the celebration of life but will be thinking of you
