I´ve really been missing you lately old friend. I wonder what you would be up to today and what your life would look and feel like. I´m sorry we didn´t keep in contact once we got to high school. Thank you for making my childhood memories something I can look back on fondly. Thank you for all of the laughs and all of the company when I felt so alone and ostracized as a kid. I love you so much and you still live forever in my heart and mind.

There is only one more day that I can write my thoughts to you. I miss you very much and think of you in my heart - mind and prayers. My family and I speak of you all the time. By now you must have met up with your grandparents, and I know they are spoiling you, especially your Dziazdzi Specyalski. The Brialee families speak of you all the time, especially the teen agers. You were quite a ladies man, thats a good thing. You are truly missed, but, never forgotten.I will keep the memories of you and your friends with me forever. With all my Love Auntie Irene and family.

Brandon
It's one year today since you joined the Angels of God. I think of you every day since you left. I wish there was a magic button that could turn things around and bring you back, but, I guess not. But, as history repeats itself - we will all be together some day. I think of your life from the day you were born and I am glad that I was a part of it. My family and I speak of you all the time, we are still saddened, but, our memories of you makes us smile, because you were so funny and cute. Rest in peace Brandon.

B ~
One year has passed already. It seems only yesterday when you and AJ were sleeping out in the gazebo. I am still devastated over the loss of someone so bright and funny. You had your whole life ahead of you and it was taken away so senselessly. You missed having a junior prom and right now, you would be getting ready for senior; the stepping stone for who you would’ve become. My heart is heavy every day; especially this day. Miss U ‘B’. Love, Yvonne (AJ's mom)
love you always and forever<3

brandon,
i was going through my pictures on my camera today and i found the pics we took that day at lunch. As i was looking through them and remembering how much fun we had that day i started to cry. i try so hard not to because i know how you didn't like me to be upset and you never liked seeing my smile come off my face. i miss you so much. i never really got the chance to tell you how much i truley care for you. i want you to know that i cared for you so much and i always will. you're all i think about and i can't wait to see you again someday. i used to hate going to school, but you always made my day so much better.. thank you for that. you will always be in my heart. luv ya brandon.. rest in peace.
to brandon's family..
i am so sorry for your loss. i know how much it hurts me so i can't even imagine what it's like for all of you. unfortunently i never got the chance to meet you before that sad day.. i wish there was something i could do. i really care for brandon and my heart goes out to all of you.

‘B’ ~
I believe that when you meet someone and a relationship forms, it’s not so much the ‘quantity’ of time spent together as the ‘quality’ of time that is important. I hold onto those rare moments we got to know each other and a little bit of what’s on the inside as well. At times I felt as though we had some kind’ve hidden agenda as to finding out what made the other tick. Even though we lost touch after AJ moved, you were never far from my thoughts and I have to believe that whatever plan He has for taking you away so early, must be an important one and one that only you can fulfill and therefore, your work here is done. That is the only acceptable explanation I have to hold onto. It’s obvious by the entries I’ve read that you have touched many hearts' including mine.....which is no easy task for sure ;-) ...…with your quick wit, outgoing personality and those infamous one-liners. I still think of you and smile whenever I hear someone mention “MapQuest”. You and AJ will forever be ‘my boys’; the “dynamic duo”; the tag team that swept up the competition whether it be playing sports or charming the chicks. Those are memories I will hold onto until we meet again. In the meantime, if you happen to pop in at AJ’s game, he wants you to know that any homerun~touchdown he makes... is for you. P.S.~Happy 16th! Hope you got a kick outta the balloons & cupcake we sent up. Until the next game...Love Always, Yvonne (AJ’s mom)

My heart goes out to you and your family. I know from experience that no one can ever feel your true pain or mend your heart. I lost my "step" son a year ago August 9th but even I can not completely feel the full anguish of a mother losing a child. I know we just recently started talking again through email, but if there is anything I can do -anything - please let me know. Again, my sincerest condolences and my heart goes out to you and your family.

Brian, Heather, Addie, Lee, & Irene,
I was blown away when I heard the news. It's been years since I've seen Brandon but I'll always remember him as the cute little kid that always had all of the girls hanging around him. Having grown up as part of the Brialee family, it's like I've lost a little brother. I can't believe this really happened.
Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to the Specyalski family, as well as to everyone else that loved Brandon.
I hope the memories of all of the good times you had with Brandon will help get you through this extremely difficult time in your lives.

Brian and Heather,
It's still hard for me to even comprehend that this actually happened. I always think of you guys and actualy just was yesterday , and today I heard the terrible news. I'm sure everyone is saying words really cannot express any emotions I am feeling right now , in 4th , 5th and 6th grade Brandon realy was my best friend until I moved away. The memories we had together when we were little kids will never go away and stick with me forever. I was actualy cleaning out boxes a few weeks ago and found the CD Brandon bought me for my birthday one year and it's been in my car ever since and it's probably never going to come out. Playing baseball, riding 4 weelers at your house those are all memories that will never be forgetten. I cant express enough how sad I am right now and Brandon's memory will ALWAYS be with me . I will be praying for your family and have you in my thoughts .
Love,
Costas Savakis

Dear Brandon: This is for you (because ) I know you are looking down at us, with your Dziadzi - up in heaven. I love you very much and will miss you dearly. I will pray for you as I know you are praying for me - and everyone else. The memories of you are endlest / especially when your mom and dad brought you into the world. When I first laid eyes on you in the hospital,I knew I loved you right from the start.I had great memories of you from that time on. I remember when I would babysit you - how you loved to watch cartoons continually, I wasn't able to watch my news, because you were the boss. How cute was that? I remember when you would stay at your Nonnis and Dziadzis house and how you kept them busy following you around. I remember you for most of your birthdays, how you suddenly grew up to be a teen ager, I remember you when I was working at Brialee(your families Campground) (in the snack bar) and you wanted food. You had to pay for it (per Nonni and Dziadzi - only to teach you responsibility. I remember you when you followed the girls around - with your cute smile and dimple . You did wow them. I remember you with your sports, how good you were. The memories are endlest, but, most of all I know I will always have a special place in my heart for you. I will miss you dearly, but I know God has other ideas for you, so be good and watch over us. Thank you Brandon for being you. LOVE AUNTIE IRENE(SPECYALSKI) ARABEK.
