Brandon and Marissa,
I'm sorry for your loss. Your mom was a good person. She loved you BIG and wanted the very best for you. She defied the odds for her life. Be courageous in life just like your mom.

Brandon & Marisa,
If this is in the guest book twice, sorry. I wrote it all and went to donate instead of hitting submit and it disappeared! I will miss your mom.
We had such good times together when you two were in elementary school. I remember, at that time she wasn't given a good prognosis from the doctors, but she proved them wrong! She used to say she wanted to live long enough to see her children grow up. Well she did and she also got to see her grandchildren too! God is good! I know I will see her again someday for this life is not the end. Until then, my condolences to you and everyone in your family!

Brandon & Marisa,
Even though your mom and I hadn't kept in touch I have the fondest memories of her and the times we did spend together when you two were young. I remember that doctors didn't give her a very good prognosis and that's when you were young toddlers. Wow did she prove them wrong! She was a fighter and loved you both fiercely! Last time I saw her she was showing me pictures of her grandchildren and telling me how much she loved them! Know that this life is not all there is. I will see her again someday and so will you. Then, we'll have a good laugh again together. Until then my condolences to you and everyone in the family!
