Annette, I'm so sorry to hear of Brandon's passing. May God be with you during this time and keep all the good memories of him close to your heart. I worry about my only son when he gets on his bike. There's a special bond between a mother and son. My condolences to you...

I never knew Brandon, but my son Jonathan Sands has spoken very highly about him. Jonathan came home Friday crying for the first time I can remember. I love and have a place for all of my son's friends, and so shall Brandon. I could not imagine losing a child, but I was once told...to be absent from the body is to present with the lord. From the Sands family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brandon and I were very close for an extremely long time, though nothing can take away the many great memories of us together, this accident took a best friend. Ill always have the scar on my nose that I recieved due to a dare from Brandon on one of the many adventures we shared. Ill also have the memory of how mean we could be to Tayler, we had a tendency to make her think she wouldnt get shocked if she was on the end of the chain connected to the electric fence... May God Bless you Annette as well as Brandons close friends for we have all lost a friend that could always make us laugh and would tell it like it was... Ill always keep a place in my heart for Brandon and Ill always have my scar!

I MET BRANDON THROUGH MY DAUGHTER. HE SPOKE AND REACHED OUT AND SHOOK MY HAND. I WAS IMPRESSED BY HIS POLITENESS AND HIS HANSOME LOOKS.
I AM AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO SAY TO COMFORT YOU AND I CANNOT IMAGINE HAVING TO DEAL WITH SUCH A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. I PRAY THAT YOU WILL FIND COMFORT IN THE MEMORIES YOU HAVE.
