I am so sorry for the family for this tragic loss. I only knew Brandon when I was a kid. I was one of Holly's best friends but did not know Bradon well. I do remember that Brandon was always silly and made us laugh. He will be missed.

Brandon,
I am truly broken hearten!! You were taken way too soon. I can’t believe that today we will have to say goodbye to you. You are in my heart on this day. So even though I can not be there in person I will be there in spirit! The memories we shared were so sweet, and I will always remember you. A silly memory was when you shaved your head underneath your long hair right before the dance. I couldn’t believe you did that. ? I told you that you had to keep your hair down, so no one knew you did that. Haha! You were so adorable. You always cared for my feelings, but of course picked on me as a sister. You had the best laugh, and you were such a great guy! You will truly be missed! Goodbye sweetheart!
Heather

I love Danielle with all my heart, and it is killing me that I can’t be there to support her and the rest of her family. Please give Danielle and mom a hug for me!
