Dearest Rose Maree, You and Brandon have been on my mind the last couple of weeks. I was in Salt Lake July first and you were on my mind because of your birthday. And then I remembered that Brandon and Courtney were only about a month apart in age. They were never able to get to know each other with their lives taking all the twists and turns but I think they would have been great friends. I pray that you are well and able to find peace. Brandon would have wanted nothing less for his wonderful Mother. Love to you and your family from Becky and Brent.

My darling Brandon,

Today marks the five year anniversary of your passing. It seems like only yesterday when your lovely spirit left this earthly plane. My heart still hurts from losing you in such a sudden and sad manner. Your children, friends and family send lots of love and kisses. Your special piece is missing from my big puzzle and I hope to regain that someday, so that I can be with you and complete again....I miss you more each passing day....with all my love and devotion...Mommy...........

A Child loaned

"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years
or twenty two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay
since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
in my search for teacher's true.
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
and take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
for all the joy Thy child shall bring,
for the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand........"

My dearest son,
I sent you a note on your birthday, but for some reason it was not published. I just want you to know that I miss you dearly as do your children, friends and other loved ones.I hope you had a joyous birthday and was able to experience the beauty of heaven. Words cant tell you how much you mean to me and how I wish you were here to have celebrated your 35th birthday. That would have been a big day for both of us. My only child turning 35. That means we are bothing getting along in our years. You will always be my baby and my one and only, regardless of how old you are. You are in a place now, where you will never age, but remain as beautiful as you were on earth. I love and adore you!
Happy Birthday on June 28th!

Your loving and adoring mother,

Brandon, my darling,

Wish we could be together
Thinking of you
Makes the miles disappear,
Together we're looking at bright decorations,
Enjoying what we like to do,
Thinking of you makes the miles disappear~
For you're missed very much
All year through…

So just because you're
Far away, don't think
For a moment that you're forgotten.
I'm thinking about you because loving thoughts travel far,
And wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year
Full of wonderful things.
Wish we could be together......

Christmas Without You~

It's going to be a sad Christmas this year
without your laughter & without your cheer.
I'll miss the sight of you with your Santa's hat,
and the smile you shared from where you sat.
I'll think about all the Christmas's in the past,
and hold to the memories that slipped so fast.
For they're all I have left to remember,
on this sad Christmas morning in December.
I'll think about you and cherish each though;
I'll think of your smile & the happiness it brought.
And as I listen to the church bells ring,
your voice will echo as the choirs sing.
I can never tell you, my love, how sad it will be
to spend Christmas without you here with me.
I just wish you'd touch my heart in such a way,
that I could live through the pain of Christmas Day.
And, help me to remember that your love
is still sent to me from the Heavens above.
And although you won't decorate my Christmas tree,
Your spirit will light the lights for me to see.
Oh, I'll hear your voice in each Christmas song.
I'll see your face in each child that comes along.
And although my heart will be broken and torn...
I'll know you're with Jesus on this Christmas morn.
No, Christmas won't be the same without your smiling face
but I'll know you're in a much better place.
I'll think of my precious child in everything I do...
Cause, it just won't be "Christmas Without You!"

Merry Christmas, baby boy. Tonight is the big birthday party celebration for the baby Jesus,
How lucky you are to have a first row seat!

Feliz Navidad,
Osie

To My One True Love:

I hope you enjoy the Christmas trees and decorations that we set up for you and your grandparents. I am dearly missing you this holiday season. Things just seem so empty and lonely with out you. Your children, father, family and friends whish you a Happy Holiday Season and send their love. I think about you almost every moment of my life. You will always be a part of my being., my heart and my soul.... I hope you are happy and free! I felt that you were when I visited you yesterday. Here is a poem that describes the holidays for those of us who have lost someone, especially a parent who has lost a child. In my mind, there can never be a greater loss than a mother losing her child......that missing piece of the puzzle can never be replaced.

Holidays in Heaven

The Holiday Season is just not the same,
A smile is missing when saying one name.
For parents who’ve lost a daughter or son,
Nothing can bring back the delightful fun,
Of watching them talk, laugh, or just run.
The memories are all that we do have now,
We do go on…..only God knows how.
A New Year comes as midnight arrives,
Our Angels still a big part of our lives.
If only we could trade the presents we receive,
For one more day with those whom we grieve!
But nothing can bring back our beloved child,
The one that laughed, cried, and often smiled.
They are together in a much better place,
Watching us cry…..touching our face!
Although we miss them on Holidays to share,
Be assured their loving presence fills the air,
At home, in church, at New York’s Times Square!
So celebrating the Holidays are now hard to do,
But always remember they are thinking of you too,
Wishing you happiness and showing their love,
Not on this Earth, but from Heaven above!

I love you, adore you and miss you more than than words can describe.....
Your one and only mother,

Rose Maree

My beloved Brandon,

Today marks four long years since you left us to be with our heavenly
father. I miss you terribly and not a
day goes by that I don't think about
you. You are in my prayers daily.

Your children have grown considerably and each one of them has your sparkling eyes. I see so much of you in them. They are very
beautiful, just like their dad.

Today is a sad and difficult day for all of us who lost the Brandon we loved unconditionally.

Brandon you are my love for ever and ever...May you rest in peace!

I would like to take this time to wish
all of Brandon's family and friends joy, peace, happiness and good health this holiday season.

Merry Christmas to all!

THINKING OF YOU!!!!

October 24, 2008

You Didn't Say Goodbye

Why did you have to leave?
You didn't say goodbye.
Why couldn't I protect you?
Why did you have to die?
As you slipped from this world,
Did you feel any pain?
Did you feel that you were fading?
Did you call my name?
When they left you
In the dark, alone
Did you cry out,
"Mama come and take me home?"
Did you wish for one more hug
Before you had to leave?
I'd give anything for one,
I can barely breathe.

I miss you more each passing day,
When will I awake
To find you laughing, standing there
This just a big mistake?
The grief comes pouring over me,
Each second of each day.
I do what I have to do,
but the tears stay in my way.

I want so much to see you,
To have you here to hold.
You didn't even say goodbye,
Why did you have to go?

My sweet angel,
I miss you more each day!
Your loving Mother,
Osie

Try To Understand

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.

He said:"Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, mom
He only took my hand.

When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.

He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.

My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.

I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die!

And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand-
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.

Happy Heavenly Birthday on June 28th! I wont be near a computer that works on your birthday, so I am sending this on ahead.....I hope your day is full of love, joy, peace and happiness and of course fun!
You deserve the best, and I am certain that you are getting treated very well indeed....I hope your day will be full of blessings and spiritual love...You are constantly in my thoughts and in my heart! I do miss you so! I will be thinking of you much more tomorrow and remembering the day that you had your earthly birthday, and how I fell in love the instant that I set eyes on you! You were such a pretty little boy. For many years, everyone thought that you were a little girl, because of your beautiful face, eyes with long lashes, and long hair......It seems like only yesterday that I lay on that hospital bed, feeling like a stuffed turkey awaiting your arrival...thank goodness you finally made it!! Thank you for 30 beautiful years of knowing and loving you on this earthly plane. I look forward to someday celebrating your birthday with you face to face. I know that you will be with me on your birthday in spirit and we can rejoice together....I love you more than words can say...You are the one true love of my life, and I wish you were here in person.

My Sweet Sleeping Prince,

"People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun's out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light within."

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross said these fine words, and said it very well....

I say that you are my sparkle of light, or should I say the bright spot in my world of darkness.......

Martin Luther King stated, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness;only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.............

I love you....

My Numero Uno,

The third year anniversary of your heavenly birthday was Sunday,
December 16th. I can't believe that you have been away for that period of time. It seems like just yesterday that we saw your beautiful face. I guess you are having a blast up their with the big guy helping him plan his upcoming birthday!! How fortunate you are to be able to party with the best! I hope you like the wreath that your dad sent you. It is quite beautiful, just like you. He thinks of you every minute of the day. Please help him to be at peace with your sudden departure. He is suffering so much in his grief and sorrow. He needs to know that you are doing well and happy with your new existence. Please let him know that he doesn't need to suffer so much.

I miss you, love you, and think of you always. Your kids really miss you too! They are growing up to be such wonderful kids. I am sure that you are really proud of the kind of individuals they are turning out to be....

Merry Christmas, my darling...
I send you lots of love and kisses from everyone that loves you...

Brandon,

Happy Birthday, I know it's a day late but never the less I am wishing you a happy birthday. Remember when we used to go play basketball together at the gym? You told me you always wanted to date a girl that played sports, you helped me practice my fade away jump shot. Then I did it in a game you went to and you were so surprised. I know you remember that. I remember how much fun we had together. This small memory is one of the reasons you stay in my memory. Happy Birthday -B- and I hope you visit me in my dreams soon, I miss seeing you.

My dearest son:

Yesterday was Memorial Day, and I had to talk with you.....I think of you every minute of the day. This poem reflects some of my current thoughts....in missing you.....

He is not gone I look at his photo`s
And have to smile
Can I tell you about him
For a little while?
First thought of the morning
Last of the day
I’d wonder about
What pranks he’d play!
A Rogue, whose humor
Forgave the sin
A joyful clown
With an impish grin
A grownup boy
A real people lover
Sought by his friends
Adored by his mother
Brandon stays within
He breathes in and out
With us, as one
Let’s speak of him
And laugh a while
Brandon’s here with us
Can you see him smile?

We all miss that beautiful charismatic smile....

Your loving Mother,

To my sweet sweet child of God:

I dreamed last night of Heaven
as I followed you there
I felt your presence, heard your heart,
I almost touched your hair.

I remember crying,
just because I missed you so
though I was right behind you
I didn't want you to go.

I begged for a reminder
to help me see your face
a thing to hold and touch
but it left an empty place.

I looked for you in everything
I asked for you by name
I know that you were with me there
I'll never be the same.

I dreamed last night of Heaven
I ache for one more glimpse
of the love I felt while near you
and the beautiful heart I miss....

Mommy loves and adores you.. I pray for you every day that you are safe and in God's gentle hands.........
Your children miss and love you immensely..........
Not to mention all the friends that love and adore you, even from afar.......
I can hardly wait to see my one and only true love...as I miss you so!!!

Your loving Mother.......

December 22, 2006

Brandon,
The time you came to me in my dream and thanked me for always keeping you in my thoughts was so special to me but, in the dream I didn't get to respond. So I want you to know that I will never forget you and I will never stop thinking about you. Sometimes I think about what we meant to each other and I am not sure because we were having so much fun together we never expressed those feelings. I just want you to know that I have love for you and you will always be that person in my life that made me the happiest when I was so down. The tragedy of your death has stuck with me becuase I remember telling you how worried I was about you and as always you would just brush it off. Words can't express how I felt and feel about you to this day, but I think you know because you are in my mind. Hopefully one day I will see you in person rather than in my dreams but, for now you are the man of my dreams......

Please wish Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lee, Aunt Sally, Grandma Eva, Cliff, Larry, Larry H, and all of our loved ones a Merry Christmas for me and the kids!!! Also, please give Kitty a big kiss for me, as I miss him so...

Brandon, my love,

The tears are flowing freely for the loss of a beautiful soul...tomorrow marks the 2nd anniversary of your passing. You
are always in my thoughts and prayers...I miss you so much, as does everyone else who loves you.

Christmas time is supposed to be a
time filled with love, laughter, caring and sharing with those you
love...but without you here it's not the same and never will be...

Your children all have your beautiful brown eyes and everytime
I look at them I see you in them.
They are so beautiful and look so
much like their father...I just want to say "I love you, forever
and ever..."

May all your family and friends remember you with love on this very
sad day...I hope that you are smiling down on us, with your Grandma Alice and Grandpa Ray at your side...May you rest in peace
my love...

I love you with all my heart and soul.

I hope our spirits will meet and share the special love and bond between a mother and child.....I wish you eternal happiness and peace....Please help me to find mine...My life has been so empty and alone without you, I feel like someone took all of my insides out and just left an empty shell....

I ask your friends, family and loved ones to pray for your soul and to honor your spirit by being a better person and treating others as they would want to be treated....

P.S. I accidentally saw a picture of the individual who received your liver..and I heard that she is a real nice person...that comforts me to know someone worthy has a part of you inside them.....

I love you..........and miss you more than words could ever say...
It has been a painful two years without you.............

I am sending you a thousand, trillion, zillion hugs and kisses..and loves....

Your loving and dedicated Mother

Your children send you their love.....they miss you so very much!!

My dearest,
The two year anniversary of your passing is coming up on the 16th of December...The whole situation still seems so fresh in my mind, heart and soul.....I feel like it was just yesterday that you were taken from your loved ones......
I miss you so very much and hope and pray that you are doing well and are happy with your new life...Although my heart is broken, I vow to continue on with your legacy of organ donations. I know that you would want me to do that in your honor.....
I love you more and more each day....

Bolo sends his love...He may be joining you and Kitty soon...........

Your adoring mother,
Rose Maree

To my most precious and beautiful baby boy:



Tomorrow is your birthday!! Happy Birthday my precious angel!! I hope you are soaring through the beautiful skies..full of fun, laughter and lots of joy....I miss you so much, and remember the day that you were born....what a sweet, yet sorrow filled memory...

I took you home on my birthday, and your father and I always joked that you were the best birthday present that anyone could have!! You were, and always will be the only present that I could ever want......

I love you so very much and wish that we could celebrate our birthdays together by eating at one of our favorite gastronomy restaurants and eating my special rum cake.....then we could joke about being carried out in a wheelbarrow......from eating such good food.



Your children, friends and family send their love to you on a special day....Your father, thinks of you every minute of the day and sends you a million kisses......Your father's family sends you a multitude of prayers and heart felt thoughts.........WE MISS YOU, BRANDON, MORE THAN WORDS COULD EVER EXPRESS........

DEATH~



WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO EXPLAIN IT!!!!!



A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said,

"Doctor, I am afraid to die.



Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."

"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside.



He knew nothing except that his master was here,



and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough." .......



This is a great story that I would love to share with everyone who reads Brandon's guest book on a consistent basis.....

Brandon sent me this poem, and I feel like he is talking to me about the decision that his father and I made to donate his internal organs. He was able to save the lives of four individuals. They have all written to his father and I ,and we are grateful that they are now healthy and carrying a part of our baby with him. I love you Brandon, you will always be my hero!! Love, Mommy.....





The Decision



Thanks, Mom, for your decision,

I'm really proud of you.

For you did something wonderful,

You knew I'd want you to.



We come to this earth to show love,

And to give as much as we can.

You made the decision to give part of me,

Knowing I'd help my fellow man.



I know that sometimes there's still sadness,

And you really miss seeing me.

Know that I'm always with you,

Just not physically.



You wear the green ribbon pin proudly,

And love for someone to ask.

To tell them your son was a donor

Is part of your work and task.



Mom, where I am now is wonderful,

It's beautiful, I don't have a care.

Remember, don't take your organs and tissue to heaven,

Cause we don't need them there.

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.

IF I KNEW



If I knew it would be the last time

That I'd see you fall asleep,

I would tuck you in more tightly

and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.



If I knew it would be the last time

that I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss

and call you back for one more.



If I knew it would be the last time

I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,

I would video tape each action and word,

so I could play them back day after day.



If I knew it would be the last time,

I could spare an extra minute

to stop and say "I love you,"

instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.



If I knew it would be the last time

I would be there to share your day,

Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,

so I can let just this one slip away.



For surely there's always tomorrow

to make up for an oversight,

and we always get a second chance

to make everything just right.



There will always be another day

to say "I love you,"

And certainly there's another chance

to say our "Anything I can do?"



But just in case I might be wrong,

and today is all I get,

I'd like to say how much I love you

and I hope we never forget.



Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,

young or old alike,

And today may be the last chance

you get to hold your loved one tight.



So if you're waiting for tomorrow,

why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes,

you'll surely regret the day,



That you didn't take that extra time

for a smile, a hug, or a kiss

and you were too busy to grant someone,

what turned out to be their one last wish.



So hold your loved ones close today,

and whisper in their ear,

Tell them how much you love them

and that you'll always hold them dear



Take time to say "I'm sorry,"

"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."

And if tomorrow never comes,

you'll have no regrets about today.



Brandon, my good friend, Claire sent this to me. I sent it to you on Valentine's Day, but it never came out on the web. I love you, you are my own personal valentine, heart and soul. Love, Mommy

Brandon,

Love and kisses to you on Valentine's Day! I so miss

your call on Valentine's Day

to hear your voice again...

but I have you in my heart and

in my memories forever..



Love,

February 1, 2006

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.

Baby boy,



I just want to wish you a Happy New Year and tell you how much I love and miss you!! It has been a year since you went away, but it seems like an eternity to me......I hope you had fun helping Jesus celebrate his birthday!! I guess it must have been absolutely phenomenal!!I wish I had been there to celebrate with you!! I hope you are doing well and are happy up there!!! I made some new Year resolutions to try to be a better person, inside and out so you can be proud of me. I think about you every day, and some of the special memories that we had together. Thank you for helping me to relive some of them. It means so much to me to have the honor of being your mother. There will never ever be another Brandon in this lifetime....except maybe for lil Anthony, who we call "mini me"...It is like looking at a smaller, younger version of you...He resembles you so much, it is almost like being around the real you....

Promise me that you are happy and at peace with your new way of living....You are always in my thoughts and my heart...Lots of Love and Kisses.......Mommy

ROSE MAREE SAZESH,

I AM NOT SO SURE IF YOU REMEMBER ME I WAS LIL' JOE'S WIFE. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF HAVE ALOT OF LOVE AND RESPECT FOR BRANDON. WHEN JOE AND

I WHERE TOGETHER BRANDON SPENT ALOT OF GOOD FAMILY TIMES WITH US, AND ONE OF THOSE TIMES IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. CHRISTMAS DAY IS A DAY THAT WILL ALWAYS REMIND ME OF BRANDON. BUYING GIFTS FOR EACHOTHER WAS A CHALLENGE. BUT IN THE END WHEN IT WAS TIME TO OPEN THOSE GIFTS, THERE WASN'T ONE YEAR THAT WENT BUY WITHOUT EITHER BRANDON OR JOE OR VS VERSA CAPPING ON EACHOTHER GIFTS. THEM 2 WOULD MAKE ME LAUGH THAT WAS THE SPECIAL GIFT B' HAD IN HIM. THEM 2 WOULD BRING THE WORST OUT OF ME, LOOKING FOR THEM, CHASING THEM DOWN. BUT THE NEXT TIME I SEEN B' KNOW MATTER HOW ANGRY I WAS EVEN WHEN HE SEEN ME SAD, OR CRYING AND EVEN IN PAIN. BRANDON WOULD ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE AND LAUGH EVEN IF IT TOOK HIM TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF HIMSELF HE WOULD'NT LEAVE TELL HE SAW HAPPINESS IN ME. BRANDON IS AND WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE OUR HEARTS.

GOD BLESS YOU ROSE AND YOUR FAMILY. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Brandon,

The 16th of September marked the nine month anniversary of your passing....I found this poem that reminds me of you....





I BELIEVE IN ANGELS



I believe in angels, but do you,

"Do you think that all the stories are true?"



Are there really angels up above,

who watch over us with all their love?



They watch over us and guide our path,

so we don't stumble, they are our staff.



The are aware of our every deed,

including the kind of stuff we read.



They are there in times of our every need,

They always follow our spiritual lead.



Whether you're an adult or a child,

their compassion after Christ was styled.



To attend to you both night and day,

that is why they were sent our way.



They keep us safe and bring us cheer,

and help us get through every year.



God sends us angels every day,

to protect us during our earthly stay.



Yes, I believe in angels, that it's true,

I've seen the one who is watching you...................





My darling, B, you will always be our angel, watching, and protecting over us. I love you baby boy....I am sending you a million kisses......

your Mother, Rose Maree

Brandon,

Just thinking of you. I hope you are happy in your new life and surroundings. There isn't a moment that goes by without thoughts of you....I miss you so much!!! I know that you are watching all of your loved ones from above and that does give me some comfort. I just want to let you know that you are in my heart and soul. I feel so many emotions since you have left this plane, and am trying to comprehend why your precious life was taken from us. I do forgive those who hurt you. My heart tells me that you are in a far better place than living in this sorrowful earthly human existence full of violence and hatred. I hope you feel the warmth, love and joy of Christ. You deserve to feel the perfection of his love. I envy you for that. You left for a reason, and I believe that God wanted to save you from the pain of human existence. You now found your purpose in the beauty and blessings surrounding you. I love you. Your devoted mother. Rose Maree

THANK YOU!!



Thanks to everyone who has been writing to Brandon and the family. It is appreciated more than you could possibly know. I have opted to keep his memorium and guest book on line permanently. You are welcome to write to Brandon, myself, the family and his children any time. You are also welcome to submit photos in the photo gallery. There is a slight charge for that. I appreciate the kindness that has been displayed to the family and to my beloved son. I love and miss him so much, as I know that you do too.....I hope keeping this memorium will help with the healing process for myself and others, especially his children. I am always available to talk about your grief or if you just want to visit and share some memories of Brandon, please feel comfortable in contacting me. I am happy to know that others loved him almost as much as I do....

I cannot even attempt to put into words the sorrow that I feel with the loss of Brandon. He and my son (Josh) were as close as two human beings could possibly be and my son is not the same without him. The loss of the only person who was his "brother" has been very difficult for him. For me as well, as Brandon was like my own child and I could not have loved him more. He never came to town without stopping to say Hi and to eat, sometimes calling Josh to say "Guess where I am? I am at your mom's eating dinner".



He risked his own life years ago to save my son's life and I am forever grateful to him for that.



Brandon, we all miss you but we know that you are in a far better place and that we will see you again in the future. Until then, please watch over all of your loved ones, as they do miss you so.

My darling baby boy, words cannot express how much I miss and love you..I think about you every moment of the day and hope that you are happy in your new life. I keep thinking that you are on one of your trips and that I will see you soon and then I realize that it will be a long time before we actually see each other again. I have vowed to continue your legacy in helping recruit organ donations in order to save other lives. You will always be my hero and I thank you for what you did to save others. Please tell Mom and dad, kitty, and all our other loved ones hello for me. I am sure that you are all basking in that white light and just shining on. I love you always and forever. Please let your dad know how much you love him and help him to cope with his loss. Every night I will look for you with all the other stars, and know that you will be the brightest one looking down on me.. Remember that you are still my one and only.....I look forward to the day we can be together again...Love Always, Mommy

Brandon,

My love, my life, I miss you dearly, morning, noon and night.

You are always on my mind, being

my first love. The day you came

home from the hospital after your

birth was the first time I laid

eyes upon you. What a beautiful

baby you were! It was love at first sight! Today would have

been your 31st birthday. I should

be calling you and wishing you a

Happy Birthday instead of sheding

tears for you, the loss of a beautiful and wonderful soul. You

were taken too soon, away from all

who love you dearly, your children,

your parents, sister and brothers,

aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

We know you are in a better place and find comfort knowing that you

are in the loving care of your grandparents Ray and Alice who were

like parents to you. Those sparkling brown eyes and your loving smile will forever be the reason to make me smile when I am

feeling sad for you. I just wanted

to say "Happy Birtday Brandon, I love you and miss you. May your

spirit live on...



Love,

Aunt Nancy

Always remember the happy times.
