October 8, 2006

Brandon was too young to die. What a sad time his wife and children must be feeling. well, this is a message from one of the "Pulte Group".

Brandon was the best I have ever seen. He took great pride in his work.

He also spoke very highly of his family. He was a good guy and just seemed so happy. He talked about his kids and wife all the time. When he spoke of his son-he was very proud of that boy whom he said could out fish him and boy was he ever so proud of that "arm" in baseball. with his wife, he would always brag of how good you were too him and he seemed very much in-love. He said you meant everything to him. I know he misses you as much as you must miss him. With that that little girl of his. what a precious child. I heard her on his radio one day saying she was her dadd'y girl. little girls always are.

We all hope you keep in touch in the future. Those kids sure are cute little ones.
And you all had a proud husband and father.
I hope you find peace one day soon.

Brandon was my best friend.I will miss him greatly. He has left me with many good memories to remember him by. Enough to last me a life time.Brandon was the type of person that everyone wanted to be around. He always made you laugh.I could not look at him without a smile coming to my face. I will never forget him. My heart goes out to his family during these diffcult times. I have a baby boy now and some day when he is old enough to understand I will share all of my memories that me and Brandon shared with him.

August 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.

Brandon has been a part of my life literaly since he was born: He has brought great joy to my life each and everytime we were together. When I was not fortuante enough due to distance to be with Brandon, I was kept up to date on his life by his father; He will be missed.



To his father, Dr. Lawrence Reis, my business partner and more over best friend, I know this comes as a great shock and is a tremendous loss. I mourn with you. I am here for you and Susan as you attempt to overcome this grief.
