Anita, To lose your son at such a young age and so unexpectedly has to completely rock your world, not to mention the grieving. I just couldn't fathom how something like this could happen to someone so young. I'm holding you in my thoughts as you go through the process of grieving and hopefully one day in the not too far off future, finding life good again. I'm glad that you have Kelly and Cameron to close your little circle of love. My thoughts and prayers are with them also, as they both grieve and support you.

Anita, How are you? Are you better? Trying to distract yourself a little? This is hard, but there’s nothing you can do. You have to move on for Cameron, for Kelly and for yourself. This is how Brandon wants to see you: strong, in peace and happy.
No one knows exactly how you feel, neither do I. All I know is that there is nothing worse in this world and only time will help, but even though I say these words to encourage you, to comfort you, to calm your heart. I wanted so much to be there and give you a big, big hug, the one you feel deep inside your soul, that warms up your heart. Although we’re physically far apart, I’m concentrated and I’m giving you this hug right now. A mothers’ hug.
Please, continue being the wonderful person you are, that you have always been and God will help you all.
Love and hugs from

Hi Anita…. I went to the Havenbrook site and watched the memorial tribute. It had some great pics of Brandon. I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. I can’t imagine losing a child. Having lost parents and a spouse is hard enough but a child is another thing altogether in my mind. I truly hope your faith sustains you in this time and that your family of faith at Northhaven will be a source of support and strength for you and your family. Know that you will be in my prayers in these days to come. My experience with loss is that nothing ever makes the hurt go away but the passage of time and belief in a loving God take away some of the sting. I hope over time your heart will begin to mend and you will find the strength to continue on.
Just remember, God put you here for a reason. When loved ones have been taken away from me I have often asked why am I still here and I always come back to the thought that God still has something important for me to do on this earth for however many years I have. He still has work for you to do too. There are people still here you need to love, care for, encourage, forgive. I hope you know who those folks are. Some you may not have met yet but they’re out there.
May God continue to hold you close Anita.
Blessings,
Dave Poteet

There is no way I can sufficiently express my sorrow at your loss. I am praying for you and your family. God did not bring this tragedy in your life but he will use it. He loves you and your family and I know it is not suffiicient for you right now, But Brandon is with God.
TC sends his condolences, as you know he lost his daughter 9 years ago and it does get easier. Our prayers are with you.

Mrs. Ford: Your son was one of my favorite students of all time! He had a heart of gold and made people’s day when they were around him. He always cheered me up (sometimes just by looking at that smile on his face). I know your heart must have an overwhelming pain but I hope you take some rest in knowing that Brandon served our Lord at WHS in a great way… with gentleness, love and compassion! This world would be a better place if we could ever teach those skills to all of our students. God bless you and your family.

Brandon made everyday so much fun. The memory of his time in the Westmoore Band reminded me of why I became a teacher. I will always remember him for his smile and optimistic outlook, he was the greatest! I'm sure he'll join band in heaven! Anita,you and your family are in our prayers

My precious Son, I have been trying to find the holiday spirit, but our family has suffered your loss. The lights and the tinsel are dull. The only thing sparkling is the tears running down my face. This Christmas there is no excitement or festivity, just painful reminders that you aren’t here. There’s an empty space at the dinner table, your stocking hangs limp. There are no presents for you to unwrap, and the hole in my heart feels like it could swallow me up. I miss you and I love you so very much. Nothing seems quite right. Oh how I wish you were back here again...I’m trying to be strong, and most of the time, I do okay…and then my world comes crashing down and the reality of you being gone brings tears and heartache. You are spending Christmas in Heaven…I know you are safe, and happy. But I still miss you so terribly. Cameron is holding up pretty well, although he aches to hang out with you again and talk on the phone with you. He says "it really sucks" not having you around. Merry Christmas, Brandon. I love you – so much more than words could ever say, or anything that I could ever do.

My precious baby boy....I can't believe this nightmare has happened.
I had been praying for so long that God would take care of you, and He did. You are now perfect, and happy. But I am devastated and heartbroken. I would trade places with you if I could. Sweetheart,
you are now a hero....because you have saved another person's life, and have been instrumental in over 100 others being helped by your generous organ/tissue donation. I am so very proud of you! In life, you were my precious gift......in death, you gave the precious gift of life to others. I cherish each and every moment that we had. I can't believe that you are gone. My heart aches and the tears flow uncontrollably. I will do my best to carry on....Cameron, Kelly, and Mama and Papa need me. I know you are watching over us. You will be in my heart forever. I can "feel" you sitting on my lap, like when you were about 4 years old; I was crying and you stroked my cheek, and said "awright, Mommy, awright." You were my angel in life....you are now my guardian angel. I miss you and I love you so very much! Your little brother, Cameron, is lost without you. I pray God will heal his heart and he will find the strength to make it thru each day. You know how much we loved you....and supported you .... we never gave up on you! Rest in peace, my darling baby boy. God has you now....

May the grace of God and the strength of your family guide you through this time. You as his mother gave him life, and Brandon in return gave the gift of life to others. Though you may not see him anymore, he will always be in your heart.

Anita and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Brandon was such a joy to know. I had him as a young student at Fairview and then got to see him as a young man when he helped with the basketball team at Westmoore. We enjoyed his visits back to the schools and saw that he had grown into a kind and compassionate adult. He touched so many lives in a wonderful way. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the family of Brandon Harris, your son and brother had to be one of the most genuine men I have ever met. Im sorry for your loss, his spirit was one to admire and model after. I knew him as a child living across the street from him playing street hockey, basketball, you name we all did it as children back in Kings Ridge. He will always be remembered as the giant guy who could do anything. As far as finding the guy and his brother Cameron, all I ever needed to do was to walk into Dan's Old Time Diner and find them downing a couple of burgers. Brandon you will always be remembered and missed brother, thank you for your friendship. Jimmy Truesdell

Anita,
A friend sent this to me when Mom died, so I'd like to share it with you and Cameron:
"And if I go while you're still here...know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure-behind a thin veil through which you cannot see. You will not see me, so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again-both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart....I will be there."
We love you and are praying for your family.

He came back numerous times to see me at WHS and talk Sooner football. Prayers and thoughts to Brandon's family. To Brandon, Boomer Sooner, buddy.

I don't have any words to say that would make you feel better. I just can't believe this. I'm praying for you and your family. I still remember when Brandon would come up to work with you and Jerry Scott just loved to joke around with him. I will not be able to attend the funeral, but remember that I love you and I'm thinking about you. Brandon is in Heaven with your Dad.
