Oh how I wish I could just see or talk to you one more time... so much has happened and I am learning more and more... I wish you was here to just talk to me and ground me back down... you were the one that I could also come to and never pass judgement... just be there to listen. Tomorrow will be 17 years that you have been called back home, and I promise you that there hasn´t been a day that I haven´t thought about you! I am so glad that I have the memories that I have of you, just wish that there was more time and more memories that we could have made. Love and miss you always and forever!!!!

Today is 16 years that you have been gone, and it still doesn't feel real.. I still miss you everyday and wish you were here with us. I know you are watching over us and thank you for the signs you give me letting me know you are here. Even though it's not the same I love knowing you see me. I miss you little brother I love you beyond words and my heart will forever have a hole until I see you again.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. It´s still hard to believe that you are gone. After hurricane Ida I found a whole bunch of more pictures of you, I took it as a sign that you was watching over all of us and letting me know that everything was going to be okay.

Sorry I'm late and I don't have to explain why, because you know. I talk to you ever day, but I need a big Brandon hug and a shoulder to cry on. You always knew what to say and point me in the right way. Your baby girl is being taken care of just like you asked. I am so proud of her. She is so smart and beautiful. I know that you will be up there smiling down on her when she watch walks across the field for Homecoming on Saturday. Love and miss you..

Well its been 7 long years now. Seems like it was just yesterday I was talking to you.
November 11, 2012
Hey Brandon,
It;s Aunt Cindy again. Yesterday marked the fifth year you have been gone. Your mother and siblings celebrated your life together and finally put you in a place your mother has been working on for awhile. She seemed to be at peace and was very uplifted with her accomplishment. She is so proud of what she has done on your behalf. All in all it was a good day for her and I am so grateful. We love and miss you always.

Hey Baby,
Happy Birthday! You made 28 today. I love you and miss you and think about you all the time. Keith made me a cross with your name and dates. I hope you like the new Christmas ornament I made for you this year. It's four years and still not easy. I think about what you would look like and what you would be doing if you would still be here. It just makes me sad. Love you and miss you.

Hey Baby Boy,
I've been thinking about you for the last two weeks. I quit thinking of you as gone but that you have gotten your angel wings by now. It's four years today but feels like it was yesterday. I've talked to your brother and sister today and we can't get over it being 4 years.I moved your concrete cross today and brought it home for good. I'm not going to visit you at the sight anymore, I'm going to keep you home with me. I am making a new sight on the hill just for you so I can bring you fresh flowers and go to that spot on a regular basis. I am planning on setting you free real soon and I'll always love you.

Hey Baby Boy,
We went to a remeberance tree at the funeral home and a service for you. It helped me understand that you are going to have the best Christmas with God. I envy you because you got to have Christmas with God before me. Doing this today made me feel so much closer to you and I just want you to know that I love you with every breath I take. But I'll never forget the day you was born and the twenty four years that I got to watch you grow.
Your One and Only,

Hi Baby Boy,
I want you to know that I really miss you. I don't know how I am going to go on. A piece of my heart is missing and will never heal. You was my last baby. I don't know why God took you home so soon, but I guess when I get there I'll know. I can't wait. I wake up every morning and hope this is a bad dream but it's not. I call your cell phone just to hear your voice and just want to die. I can't find a reason to be happy.
Thanksgiving, Christmas and your Birthday will always be a hard day for me, but I want you to know that I will go on. I'm waiting for God to call me home so I can be with you and hold you in my arms again. I love you with every breath I take.
Love,

DANA ROLLAND
November 26, 2007
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
