Hey Brandon, It gives me comfort knowing your pain is over. Many things have changed since you left. I think about you often, nearly everytime I play madden or no-limit poker, your two favorites things, and many other random times during the day. You are missed by your friends very much. We are constantly talking about fun times we had with you. You were always good for a few laughs. You've done and said so many funny things I don't think we'll ever run out of things to talk about. I miss hanging out with you alot. We got along great and always had a good time hanging out. I can't think of one time when we didn't have a great time hanging out together. We had so many good times to come. One day we'll catch up. Ross

Brandon, you will be missed by many and i hope you are in a place where you are not hurting any more. It was a pleasure to be one of your employees and was greatful to work with you. God Bless!

Here is to your parents Brandon!!!

IN MEMORY OF YOU...

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

There will always to be a heartache, and often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Brandon, I will never forget the good times we had together. You were my best friend and you had many friends that cared deeply for you. I will never be able to play Madden or poker without thinking of the many times we played. Thank you for being a caring person and a good friend. You will never be forgotten. You touched so many peoples' lives that you were unaware of. I can't believe you beat me at Madden the last time we played. You hadn't beat me in over a year. It seems you finally found out how to beat me, and I'm happy you did beat me. I will never forget our last game we played together. I will remember you for all the good you did for me and my family. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I will miss you forever. Ross

Brandon,

This has been the toughest week of my life. Everywhere I turn, I see something that reminds me of you. I regret that we weren't close friends recently, but we will always have the times we spent and had so much fun. The one thing that brings me peace is knowing that you're no longer feeling the pain and loneliness that you once were. I 'll alway love you like my brother, and I'll miss you for the rest of my life. I'll see you in the afterlife Smokey.

Love,
Chris

THE DUCRET FAMILY

August 29, 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.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
