Thinking about Brendan a few days early and marveling at how fast 12 years can go. Still looking forward to meeting him in heaven when we walk with God in glory. I can't contemplate the grief, but am hoping it eases with time, though I know the love can only deepen. Hugs and Love from Ohio. xooxooxooxooxooxooxooxooxooxoox BECCA

Jason and Kelly
I am so sorry. I just heard about Brandon last night. Your Dad told me. My Heart and Prayers go out to you and Kelly and Bridget. Remember Brandon is on you right shoulder and he is with you Always. Just talk to him and he is there. I know because when I lost my first baby at 3 months he has helped me so many time. also remember "Just about anyone can have a baby But it talks someone special to have an ANGEL" and Brandon is one of GOD's Angels and he is with you Always.
I have been there so Call me... I understand.
Love

Our Father in Heaven, I come to you in the name of your son, Jesus Christ and I thank you for the life of Brendan and the time his family had with him. Father, I know that you called him home in Your time and yours alone. I praise you and thank you for the joy this child brought to all who knew him especially his parents and sister. Father, I ask you to comfort this family, help them to cope with Brendan's passing and help them to accept your calling of him. Strengthen them in the days and years ahead and give them peace in knowing that you love Brendan and he is with you. I know there are no words humans can speak to comfort loved ones in such a terrible loss but I know Father that you can work in the hearts and minds of Brendan's loved ones and give them comfort beyond what we can imagine. I ask you do to this for this family. I praise you and thank you again for Brendan's life and the time his family had with him.
In Your Holy Name. Amen.
