To Brenden's Family

I am truly sorry for your loss. Brenden was a good friend of mine, we were in football and track together. I can still remember the way he made me lauph. He was the most optimistic person I knew, no matter the situation he always found a way to be happy. Among all of my friends Brenden will remain the most unique, spirited, and positive.

This is a short song that I wrote for my brother.

When you are gone from my sight

You'll always be with me

Your love will remain in my heart

unchangingly

No matter what anyone says,

I will always love you

Forever and always my little Boo Boo

The days will pass and time will cease to exist for us all

Only memories of you will makes us feel at all

You were our light,

You were our star that shined through all our nights.

Forever and always my little Boo Boo

Forever and always I will love you.

Forever and always our little Boo Boo

Forever and always we'll remember you.

Boo Boo was my brother. He was my "Big" little brother. He had a heart of gold and a smile that could blind the sun. He spread joy to everyone and always made us laugh. He had silly little dances and crazy things that he would often say. He also gave the best hugs. He was an athlete, a great friend, the best brother and a loving son. Boo will never be completely gone, for he will remain in our hearts and many of our memories. I want to thank everyone for being so great. All of you have helped our family more than you can know. If there is anything that I can do for any of you please e-mail me and let me know. When you miss him, look at the moon; he is looking out for us all. Boo I love you!
