God is good all the time and I truly thank God for blessing me with all of you who have expressed your condolences. Brandon was an angel here on earth so I know what his position is in Heaven. I know that God makes no mistakes and he only takes the best. To our friends and family, God knows how to get our attention, we CAN see Brandon again. Those who knew Brandon, loved Brandon. He could never come back to us, but we can go to him. Continue to pray my, VJ, and the rest of our family's strenght in the Lord. Again thank you all so very much.

Dear Atawanna & VJ,

my prayers are with ya'll in this difficult time. Brandon was the fatest, cutest happiest baby (everyone who comes into my room here gushes over the picture i have of him on my wall). but he is with God and B.Brown. It is difficult to comprehend but everything happens for God's reason. Atawanna, I'm here for you, you are my hero for being so strong, He's using you! Wish I could be there with you guys this afternoon. See you during the holidays. I love you.

Peace and Blessings,

I wish my present could be there with you. But, the war has me here. But, my love and Spirit is with you. Barbara,kids and I will continue to lift you all up in prayer daily. I love cousin. Remember, God isn't a man that he should lie. When blessing fall our way, there will your Angel (babyboy) in the mist of it all. VJ, we've seen the power of God move in our lives, exemplifying the truth that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ever ask or think. Words cannot express the pain I know your feeling. But, we both have Angels (babyboys) up above.... looking down on us. Stay in his will cuz.....loving you guys forever, for always, for love.........."A Soldiers Love......Guy
