Your smile,
Your gift to the world.
Your heart,
Is beating in rhythm with our love for you.
Your eyes,
Are seeing someone else today,
But will forever glow with your passion for life.
Your body,
Is in your resting places you loved most.
Your spirit, lives on in each life you touched.
You may be gone Cousin
But you are far from forgotten.
Brandon
My heart is still broken
And that will never change
Because you're no longer here
It will remain.
I thought of you today
Just as every day before
My tears are running down my face
But I see you on that distant shore.
No longer with us
But your love remains
Because of your big heart
Many feel the pain.
I take each day
One step at a time
You left big shoes to fill
And the sun, it still shines.
Your laugh, your joy
Your hugs, your love
I take with me along life's way.
I will always remember You.
Forever and a day.

I worked withBrandon for a short time at Praxair in Ellisville. He was the sweetest person. He always had a smile for you and a hello. People like that make an impact on you. I will always remember him and that beautiful smile.

A beautiful soul gone to soon... I didn't know Brandon at all. I read about his death on line. My heart hurts for the loss of your beloved husband and son. I can't imagine how difficult the pain that your family is going through. However I pray that our God continue to hold you in his loving arms, comfort you and grant you understanding during this difficult time of bereavement
