Kerry,
I was missing my dad who recently passed away on my birthday this past Labor Day.
I went into his guest book to share my thoughts, and couldn't help but feel the sadness you must continue to have in your heart about your son, Brandon.
Please know that Brandon is also being cared for by another great man, my dad. He'll do a good job - I promise.
Take care,
Monica

I miss you so much. You're such an amazing person. I can't believe you're not going to be in Florida this summer or at Becca's wedding. We all miss you more than you could possibly imagine. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to meet you last year on our first trip to Florida. You are one of the funniest, friendliest, greatest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I will miss you always. Love you more than you could ever know. xxx

To Brandon;
There are so many questions that will remain unanswered,for this I will ask god for the strength and understanding in the reasoning why he took you away from all who knew you, especially me. There is such an emptyness now in my life no words can even describe how I feel.I love and miss you so much.

Love You;Dad

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.


Brandon, you were such a large part of our lives and you will be missed so deeply, words cannot even express how much.
Love you always,
The Arrand's
