Susan and Andrew,
A few weeks have passed since you lost your little angel and I wanted to know that you are still in our thoughts and prayers. May you continue to have the strength that you've displayed throughout Brandon's too short life.
Miss you tons!

Dear Andrew and Susan,

I have followed Brandon's too-short life through my old friend, Brian Tarling, Brandon's loving grandpa, and from Brandon's web site, and, although I never met him, I felt warmed by the evident deep love and enormous sacrifices that surrounded his life. May that memory be of some comfort to you at this difficult time.

Brandon was so blessed to have such loving parents guide him during his short journey. You both did Brandon proud as you stood with courage and spoke openly during his service today. Stay strong...Brandon will live on in all of our hearts. Love you guys!

Dear Andrew, and family,
I am not sure if you remember me, I used to live across the street a long time ago. I read about this in the paper and I just couldn't believe it. My heart goes out to you and your family right now. Brandon seemed like a beautiful boy and I'm sure he is in a better place watching over. My condolences.

When Brandon's doctor said 2 years ago that you loved him back to life, he spoke the truth. Your love for Brandon is a true life lesson in selflessness and unconditional love. Witnessing his life has changed us forever. We are so sorry for your loss, but are comforted to know that Brandon is resting now in heaven.

Susan and Andrew...Our hearts broke when we heard of Brandon's passing. We all loved him so very much and each of us is proud to have known him. In his few short years he has taught both Pat and I and our children so much about life. In his quiet way he taught us appreciation, understanding and just how to find the simplest joy in each day. We are blessed to have been close to him and you for all of these years and we want you to know we are thankful to God for bringing such an amazing angel to earth to teach young and old so many valuable lessons. To "cupcake" we will NEVER forget you. Love Pat, Franca, Alessandra, Matteo and Marco

Dear Andrew & Susan,

While I was not fortunate enough to have met Brandon, one can tell from his photos that he is loved by the two of yourselves unconditionally; and in return, he loves the two of you unconditionally as well.

Meeting Brandon and his family at his first birthday party was such a tender time for my daughter and I. The love and beauty surrounding this stunning boy made that day one that will stay in our hearts. The images that I captured at that celebration have moved hearts around the world. I am so thankful to have gotten to see Brandon again just a few weeks ago and his light was just as bright then. He will be missed by all of us at Soulumination. In love and peace, Lynette

Andrew, my wife and I are deeply saddened to hear of Brandon’s passing. Although we did not have a chance to meet him personally, your stories of his life and challenges touch our lives. We regularly visited his web-site to get updates on his progress.
Listening to your thoughts on what is important in life, has made me re-evaluate things in mine, and I thank you for that.

Our thoughts are with you, Susan and the rest of your family.
