Brandy Leigh Cupp Jensen

Oh my sweet sweet girl I just can not even believe that on June 5th you will have left this ole world behind 12 years ago. I have never stopped thinking of you or remembering all our wonderful times together. Your way of getting everyone in a good mood and laughing is missed so much. You just had that way about you of lifting everyone up to that better place no matter what they were going through and Lord knows we could ALL us some of that these days. This world has gone crazy as I know you are aware. I know I miss you so much. Auntie to you by birth but I’m just a momma in my heart missing my beautiful sweet girl. Rest easy and keep watching over us all sweet Angel. We will all be doing our best down here until we are together again.
I love you!! Always in my heartxoxo

Oh sweet girl you are missed so very much. I think of you so often and have wished I could just sit and talk to you about so many different things. You were always uplifting and filled with joy to share with everyone around you. So much has changed except for how very much you are missed and loved. I know you are happy in heaven free from your pain and suffering. I know you are watching over us all and I can’t wait to see you again. Rest peacefully.

I still miss you and love you so much. I miss your laughter and your beautiful soul...gone but never forgotten.

Can't believe it will be 13 years since you left this world ...... Not a day goes by that I don't think of you! Still missing you! my heart will never heal from this loss......until we meet again my sweet daughter ❤

Love you my baby girl, you are still thought of daily and terribly missed. It’s hard to believe 11 years have passed. Your little Rhiannon is so much like you. She will do or say something just like you did it’s funny how some traits are passed when she would have never seen it. Know you are in a beautiful place give Mom & Dad my love. Mama T

In loving memory of a wonderful soul. We love you and miss you always.

Oh sweet girl how I miss your laughter and joy you brought into our lives. No matter the situation of the world around us you always took us away and brought so much fun and joy. This world today could use the echoes of your laughter and beautiful singing voice. It’s a mess here on earth as I’m sure you can see as you watch over us all. It is so very hard to believe you have been gone from our lives so long now. 10 year on the 5th of June. You know how much we love and miss you and all you brought to our lives. I miss you my daughter from another mother. I miss our talks and wish we could talk now. Continue to watch over us as we await the day we see each other once again. You are so loved and missed sweet beautiful Brandy. Sending love and big hugs to heaven and lots of extras too to hand out to those that are now with you. I love you.
Love Auntie J xoxo

It's so hard to believe you have been gone for 5 years now. It doesn't seem possible. Time passes so fast. I know you are rejoicing in heaven and watching over those you loved here on earth especially that beautiful daughter of yours. She has grown so much and I know you are so proud of her. You are so missed here on earth. There are times I think I hear your voice and I can see your smile and hear your laughter. If only we could spend a day talking, laughing and singing like we used to when you stayed with us. So much joy you brought us and to know one day we will be with you again is such a comforting thought. Auntie misses you and I think of you so often and the memories you left are cherished always. I love you sweet girl.

My dear sweet daughter Happy 4th Birthday in heaven, I just want you to know how much I miss you, oh to see your beautiful smile, that huge laff, the way you would light up a room when you came in, the way you had of making someone feel better when they were feeling down you did your best to get a smile out of them. I loved the immatatations you would do from a movie or t.v. show, how you would put your own spin on it. I saw your beautiful Daughter's picture at the daddy daughter dance, she was so pretty dressed in a gorgeous gown the best dressed child there in my opinion, oh how much she has grown so lady like and so smart!! ,,, but I know you are with her, I just wanted to come and leave a note today and let you know we also celebrated your day with your sister, auntie and myself by going to a fav resturant you use to go to. Until we meet again I love you so and miss you so terribley bad that my heart feels like it's broke in two,never to mend.I love you!!

We celebrated your birthday tonight at Rhiannon's school the father daughter dance. You would have been so proud to see how smart and beautiful she is. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. I have a memorial table set up with your pics and favorite things, this way we can see you everyday. You would have been so proud to see her tonight. Keep singing in heaven till we meet again

My beautiful Brandy. I miss you being here with all those who loved you. I miss your voice, your laughter & and that big beautiful smile. I want you to know I'm thinking of you especially today what would have been your 35th birthday. Happy Heavenly Birthday. I love & miss you

When I think of Brandy, I most remember her joy for living and her strong determination. Even while she was sick, Brandy was determined to live life to its fullest. Her joy in life was especially revealed when she sang. We were all so blest by her gift. I'm so glad she shared it around. I'll always miss you Brandy.....Paw-Paw.

I have procastinated doing this, because it breaks my heart and makes Brandy's death so real. Brandy welcomed me to the family. Her personality was so open and funny. When she walked into the room, there was no doubt who owned the room. Her laugh filled the room. When she sang, it was like the whole world stood still. She had compassion like no other, but she didn't allow anyone to take advantage. She knew who she was and wanted to share it with the world. Rhiannon, you are named after your mother's favorite singer. Brandy, I miss you and my heart hurts because you are no longer here with us. I love you, GG

Brandy,
Its been a year plus now and I still struggle with the words on how to say what you meant to me. I have many memories that keep you alive in my head and heart. The trip to Road Island when we went fishing in the middle of the night, the trip to Tennesse when you tried out for that awful show. I knew that Travis was truly happy when he was with you. I hope that you rest easy I want you to know that I will do everything in my power to keep Travis and Rhiannon safe and happy. One day I hope to see you again.

Cindy, Roger, Caroline, Travis n family... I grew up right across the street from the family and as kids me and my siblings were always over there playing. Brandy was an amazing person, friend, and neighbor growing up. I always saw her either in the mornings or afternoons after school when we were getting off the bus. She would stop the car infront of the house and talk to us or honk the horn at us and wave. But one thing for sure, is everytime I saw her she ALWAYS had a smile on her face. I'm sorry for the loss that everyone of you guys are going through. Soon one day we all will see her again!! My heart and love go out to each and everyone of you guys!!

Dear Beautiful Brandy,
Oh how you are missed. I feel so blessed to have had the honor of having you in my life. When I think of you my fondest memories were the ones we shared in choir in school. I can't remember a single class that didn't have your big beautiful smile. You helped me build my confidence. I know you are smiling down on us...sharing your love with Jesus. Save a place for me...
Love you!!!!

Love an miss you an your beautiful smile
Grandma

Baby Girl not a day goes by that your not in my thoughts. Every day that I spend with Rhiannon, I will tell her a story about you, she will laugh and then weeks later she will bring it up, so I know she remembers. I made you a promise and I will dedicate my life to keeping that promise. She graduated from PreK yesterday and was so excited. The sun was shining into the church windows so I know that was you looking down at her. I have to confess to you, some nights I will call your old cell number and leave you messages, so far noone else has your number so that is good. It makes me feel like Im talking with you like we use to do. Travis is such a wonderful Dad, but of course you knew that from day one. You will always be his one special love and he is doing a great job with little one too. She will surprise us with singing and proudly say, "Im going to sing like mommie did". When I pick her up from daycare,she will ask me to play your song, that CD we did in TN, you singing Top of The World, she almost has it down. So for now Ill say Good Night one more time and know that one day you will be there to meet me at the gates to Heaven singing Valentine. Love you and Miss you Mamma T

I met Brandy in the Roanoke College Children's Choir years ago, and she became my best friend! We didn't stay in touch, but when we found each other again, that friendship was still there. She had the type of personality that made you confide in her, and she was so trustworthy! She was there for me at a time when it was hard for me to let anyone in, so God definitely gave me her friendship for a reason - no one could keep her out! I will never forget her!

brandy you were such a wonderful and special person! i am happy to have met you and had you in our lives! you will be missed but never forgotten!

Brandy u were one of the best people i knew your voice was like a angel and your smile could like up the darkest room.we all loved u so much. I hope u r in heaven singing and watching over us. I love u honey until we meet again hugs and kisses. Xoxoxo

Brandy,

It's been the hardest thing I've ever done to let you go. You were more like my big sister, then only my cousin. You were the big sister I never had. You once sent me a bumper sticker that said, 'God made us cousins, cause the world couldn't handle us as sisters.'. It was so true. You were there for every major moment in my life. Sept. 11th, My 14th Birthday party, my school talent shows, You made me Maid of Honor at your wedding. You let me tell you anything, and everything I was feeling, and you never once made me feel like you didn't care. You were always there for me, and you always took the time to listen. You made me laugh when I wanted to cry, and you held me up when I was about to fall. Losing you has been the hardest part, but I'm learning to breathe again, and I know that where you are now is a much happier place for you. You lived your life with such grace, and beauty. You took everything around you, and made it so beautiful. You knew how to keep others laughing, and happy. We both went through sickness together, and I remember you called me when I was diagnosed with the tumor. I was so scared, but you told me that everything would be okay. I believed you, and after surgery you talked me through it. We talked about how life would be when we were both healthy again. I never thought I would have to write this, and it hurts me so much. I'll never forget our crazy karaoke nights together, or how we got pulled over by the cops for you peeing on the side of the road as we were going to get Harry Potter jelly beans at 11 at night. lol.
Or even the time I got stuck in the doggy door because you locked the keys in the house.
In life you taught me so many things, and even in death you taught me that I can be strong, and I can sarry on.
You came to me the other night in my dream, and you told me that you were ok. That you were happier than you've ever been, and you were healthy again, and it made me feel so much better seeing you like you were. It helped me in letting you go, and I just wanna say thank you. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for showing me what it was like to have a big sister. Thank you for loving me, and teaching me everything you did. We shared the most amazing memories together, and I will keep them and cherish them for the rest of my life here. Rhiannan will know what an amazing mother you are. She is you. She is your smile, and your laugh, and you are her.
I love you Brandy, I'll miss you, and I promise I'll live my life to it's absolute fullest for you. Follow me, and let me always feel you with me. I hope I make you proud. Xo

Travis, Rhiannon, and Teresa,
The times we were with Brandy were very few; but, I remember her being full of life----very spirited and a unique individual. May those characteristics be ones used to describe us.
May your memories provide comfort and peace in the days ahead. Teresa, your efforts to give Rhiannon memories and accounts of her mother show your love as a mother-in-law as well as a grandmother.
Thinking of all of you.

Brandy,
It is hard for me to put into words how grateful I am to of had you in my life. I was the oldest male born into the family and you were the oldest girl. So off the bat we had a lot in common. When we were little, you and I did a lot together because we were the closet in age. I remember how much I loved to come to your house and visit you. Uncle Roger would take us to the firehouse and we would run around, exploring every unlocked area of the building.
I remember when we were younger and use to have our hunting trips to the farm. You could hunt and fish as good as any guy I have ever known. I know your last years were a struggle for you, both physically and mentally. In your struggle, I saw what an extraordinarily strong and courageous person you were and how much compassion you had for others. You were always able to keep a smile on your face and able to keep everyone else laughing. I will always remember that about you, in my memories I only see you laughing. You showed us all how to appreciate and enjoy life, even when we are getting kicked. I will miss sitting and talking with you, listening to funny stories about your life with family, and laughing at all the silly jokes we shared. However, as much as we miss you, I know you will be looking down on all of us from Heaven and I know you are eternally happy there. I know you are dancing and waving and watching over us all.
Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure. You will be missed, and thought of often. The memories that fill my head and my heart of you will always be there. Go be Angle of Heaven now, rest on the clouds, I will rest with you one day to.
~RIP~ Brandy Jensen

Dear Rhiannon your mom was one of my bestfriends ever!! I had moved to VA and was staying with family and was attending a community group and from being in the same place as your mom in 2007 I was given the gift of her friendship!! Your mom was a free spirit she always wanted to be a storm chaser and she put everything she had into everything she did. Your mom was always the one to tell you the "truth" even if she knew you wouldn't like it she told you anyway!! She was sooo excited when she found out her and your dad were going to have you...your mom ALWAYS wanted to be a mommy!! Even tho your mommy was sick she still gave everything she could to you and your dad and your family. You were the BEST part of your mommies life...she was soo grateful that she got to spend time with you although it was definitely too short. Your mom loved you and your Dad soo much...your dad is one of the best guys I have ever met...he truly cherished your mom and was there for her all the time!! Your mom always talked about how blessed she was to have you, your dad, your aunt caroline, teresa and her family. I may never get to see you all grown up Rhiannon but I have a strong feeling that you will be a mini "brandy" your mom had too much spirit for it to go away...I believe in my heart she lives on in you everyday!! I am certain that your family will tell you ...you just did a mommy or you have spunk like your mom. Your mother was a gift to all who knew her and she will never be forgotten!! I am soo thankful that I was given the chance to call her a bestfriend!! Love to you, your Dad and family. tee hee was a classic of your moms...love Bean (that was your moms nickname for me)

My favorite memories of Brandy were of her and my sister Heather making the funniest videos and skits, while I would watch and sometimes film the two of them. Brandy was so creative and outrageous she would make my family laugh until we cried. Those videos and films got me interested in producing and working in tv, thanks Brandy. I love you, and I'll never forget you or your sense of humor.

Brandy was one of a kind. God definetly
broke the mold after he made her. She
could make you laugh at any moment, she
could hunt and fish just as good as any
guy I knew and had one of the most
beautiful voices you have ever heard.
You will be greatly missed Brandy but
never forgotten.

Brandy you were a great cousin to know, even though we didnt see each other much. You should did know how to make us all laugh and your VOICE, was amazing!

I will always remember the good times we had when Brandy, Travis & Rhiannon came to visit us in Georgia. Brandy would crack me up with her imitation of me with the southern accent. I also remember her performing for us a Michael Jackson song and we laughed so hard that we all were crying. Good Times had by all. I know that Brandy is pain free now and she suffered for a long time. God has a beautiful angel now. Until we meet again. Love, Aunt Susan & Uncle Ted

I wish I had to words to describe how wonderful of a person Brandy was. There was never a time that I can remember that she wasn't smiling or laughing, she brought so much joy to so many people. The thing I will remember most about Brandy is the way she sang Proud Mary that was always my request when we were singing Karaoke was to hear her sing that song. I know that your are up in heaven singing with the angels as only you can. You will be greatly missed and one day I will get to see you again, until then know that you were loved and cherished by all that knew you.

First of all I would like to say to the family that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I know she is not in any pain and everyone knows where she is.
I remember the day I met Brandy like it was yesterday. We had moved into a new house on Cleveland Ave. across the street from her and me and my sister Sarah which was in the same grade as Brandy, I was a grade ahead of her. We were already going to Roland E. Cook but didn't really get to play with our neighbors because my mom worked all the time so we was either at daycare or the baby sitters so when we got to go outside it wasn't very often. The first time we got to go outside to play since we moved there we got to play with Brandy and Sarah already knew her but I did not. And when I met her I can remember thinking to myself that is the nicest girl I think I have ever meet. We moved around Vinton alot and we didn't get to get real close to people like we really wanted to. But Brandy instantly introduced us to her little click and from that point on she was a close friend. Even with years in between times we talked she always reminded us that we ment alot to her and she could never forget us. I thank god that I had the privilege to know her.

I was blessed to have Brandy in my life as we were children! I have so many memories that I will remember forever! It brings peace to know u are no longer suffering! Gone but never Forgotten! Love u dear cousin and will miss you! Prayers go out to all her friends and family!

I was blessed to be adopted into the family on the mountain and live with you and Travis in my life and WOW we had a ball. The nights of dancing on the coffee tables to the shows we did with Dreamcatcher- the talks we shared and the visions we saw. That song I listen to all the time "Change" and I am very sad I never kept in touch but you and Travis are in my heart always and Teresa and Rodney I owe so much for your kindness and love :)

The Loves of Your Life,
Not a day will go by that you are not thought of in a special way. I made a promise to you a long time ago and just so you know that promise will be kept. The two loves of your life will always be watched over and cared for by me. Your memory will live on through them both. My joy will be for Rhiannon to know the Brandy I fell in love with so many years ago and was proud to have as a part of my family. There are so many memories to remember and they will all be treasured.

When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you left us, but that you lived among us. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

I don't even know where to begin, what to say or what to feel. Brandy was My bestfriend as well as Caroline being my best friend. I met them when I was 7 yrs old. I am now 21 yrs old. All 3 of us were together all day everyday laughing, watching movies, eating, riding around, doing what girls do, we all 3 even worked together at Alpha. Brandy & Caroline are not only My bestfriends but My sisters. There are so many Happy memories of us, if I could turn back time I would relive those days in a heartbeat. They are still My really close friends that I see often. Cindy and Roger have always been "My other parents". I stayed at their house 24/7 as we were growing up. My brother and sister were also good friends with Brandy and they loved her dearly as well. One of my favorite memories is when My family and their family all stayed in a beach house on the outer banks of NC. We all had a blast that year with some unforgettable moments that you could never regret : ) Brandy loved her some Kabuki we went there for her 27th Birthday and she was so excited when we arrived because the restaurant had posted her name on their sign that said Happy Birthday. There was never a dull moment with her. She was beautfiul inside and out. I could talk to her about the good and the bad and trust her. Brandy always persuaded me to good. She believed in me. When I would have guy problems she would always comfort me and she would even fight for me. I remember when she came up to me at work one day and told me she was going to a mommy it was like tears of joy. She was beyond Happy. Caroline and I both had the chance to be with her when Rhiannon was born and we all camped out in the room with her all night and accidentally missed the best moment that we had been waiting for but it was still a life changing moment that I'll never forget. I have loved Rhiannon since day 1, she is such a sweet beautiful girl. My heart is crushed for her right now. I pray for her and hope that she gets to know everything there is to know about her mommy as she gets older. Brandy cherished her daughter and Travis very much. I know she is flying high. singing and watching over all of us. She should not have been taking from us so Soon. My heart goes out to Brandy and everyone who knew her. I am blessed and so lucky to have been so close to such a bright, beautiful, caring, talented person. I love you with all of My heart babygirl. I think of you everyday and cant wait too see you again. I will miss you dearly.

XOXO Love XOXO

Heather Ferris ( your other sissy)

My heart has been heavy but my memories are filled with wonderful and happy times shared with Brandy. She was my niece but always thought of her as my daughter. She stayed with us often. She was so much fun and full of life and songs. She was a joy and always lifted you up if you felt down. She walked into a room and owned it and everyone who ever met her loved her. She fought through her illness the same way she lived her life, with everything she had. She was a inspiration, a light to follow in this uncertain world. I loved her to the moon and back. Now I feel her love from above and I hear her voice in the wind, She will always be with me until I see her again. We will sing together with the angels one day. Rest In Peace my sweet girl. My love and prayers go out to everyone who feels her loss and to her beautiful little girl Riannon who was her mommy's heart.

I knew Brandy through Cristy. I always got excited to see her walk through the door at Daves Resturaunt because I knew that we would get to hear the voice of an angel sing. She always seemed to have a smile on her face and was full of life! I am so sorry to hear about her passing. She was taken from this earth way to soon. God Bless her family and friends I will keep you in my prayers.

I knew Brandy briefly, but the time I did know her and was around her were wonderful. She just lit the room up with her smile and energy, she was so funny and I love to laugh and she made me laugh! I loved to watch and listen to her sing. I wish I had gotten to know her better and for that I will regret for the rest of my life, but I am forever grateful to have known Brandy. I am so sorry for your loss, but I know Brandy will and is looking down from Heaven singing with that beautiful voice of hers. Travis and Rhiannon.....thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and the rest of your family, I know how much you love her and she loved you guys.

Travis and Teresa, we only met Brandy briefly at Josh's wedding but we saw then that she was a light. So lovely and such a people person! We are both very sorry for your loss.

It is so hard to say goodbye to someone who had too leave us much to soon. Brandy you were such a good friend to me and you brightened my life by being a part of it. I am glad I will have such wonderful memories of you and the good times we shared. You were such a beautiful and unique person, there will never be another one like you. Love to you, Travis, Rhiannon and the rest of your family.

Cindy, Roger, Caroline, Travis and Family - We are saddened to hear the news of Brandy! We all loved her so much and she brought such joy to everyone! I know she is up above us now singing! We will treasure all the memories that we have of her and just always think of the good moments that we have had with her to try and help ease the pain. Prayers and love to you all.
