I know that you are watching over us. Those of use who are on earth. I still cry at times when your spirit comes to me. I will be of good courage and keep the faith. I love you and will see you soon ok ...but I still have some work to do for the glory of God. Thank you for being a very faithful servant of the Most High God.

Good Bless your family for the loses of both Andrew and Tommy. I met Andrew through unusual circumstances. My boyfriend and "Brisbon" were in a program together. And they became fast friends. All I ever heard was "Brisbon" this and "Brisbon" that.
Well when I finally met him I understood why my boyfriend loved him sooooo very much. And I came to LOVE him too. During their time there they were affectionally tagged "Pinky and the Brain" and those two were practically inseparable. After both of them left we still kept in contact with him, but not as regularly as we should have. We speak of him regularly and had learned last year HOW GREAT HE WAS DOING!!! In fact last night we went to go hunt him down, he was heavy our minds and hearts. Our hearts dropped to floor when the people in their building told us about their passings. We were not fortunate enough to have met Tommy--BUT "PINKY" WAS A JEWEL IN THE CROWN OF OUR LORD AND A JEWEL TO US AS WELL. HE WILL FOREVER HOLD A FIRM PLACE IN OUR HEARTS! May our GOD BLESS YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!!!

Hey Guru, like uncle Steve I listen to your song and cry tears of happiness and sadness because you and my Daddy where called home, yes it's selfish of me to still want you both here but I understand that god needed you more.. I love you uncle Andrew always and forever. Y'all Brisbon boys behave up in heaven..lol

Andrew each time I hear your song by LaShawn Mitchell,"Nobody Greater Than You " I burst out in tears or like Anaya says that's Uncle Andrew letting us know everything is going to be alright ...she is so right Drew. Anaya is my faith child. Nobody is greater than God and I'm so happy that you are a witness to that. Like your brother Tommy said when he too saw you in heaven ...Love you madly. Miss you madly. Watch over our mother she mourns even the more. Until we meet again I will continue to connect to you thorough praise and worship in songs. Love lil Stevie.
Your little brother Vandy

Dear Andrew, I wish I had the chance to see you one more time. I knew Andrew back in high school, I did not know of his passing until a few days ago. My sympathy goes out to the Brisbon family, May God Bless you. Andrew was a good person, and that simle can never be replace. I often thought of you and wondered what you were doing, eventhough it's been years since I seen you, I will miss you. Love Twin, Southern, Maryland.

Andrew:
I prayfully speak to your spirit. I still find it hard to believe that you are not walking around among us today. You always carried yourself in that little boy-like manner, but full of mischief. I will never forget the day you told me that "Lennie's mouth is not a prayer book". The sound of your voice as you said those words to me still resound. Sorry, we did not get a chance to see each other more. Always will love you. Carolyn and Kevin Epps, and Leonard L. Murray, Sr.

Brisbon,
I miss your laugh, your woo woos!, you dancing around your room, just sitting and hanging out, and all the joy you brought my life and everyone elses. You were really loved by everyone, but I'm sure you know that, and are truly missed. I'm thankful to have gotten to know you and although you are gone your life will never be forgotten and the impact you've had on others is beautiful. You're still alive in the joy, love and laughter all around me. I know you're dancing in heaven now, happy. And I know there will be a day when we will meet again in heaven, and heaven will be that much sweeter.
Your friend,
Salt

Uncle Andrew, I rememner the times when my brother and sister were little and you would keep us until my mother (Tonya) got off work. You would always make us laugh! I remember you spending time over our house eating and watching your sports on TV all day long if not reading the newspaper! I wish I could have been at home when you passed, but as you would say,"get your education newphew"! College is cool, Uncle Andrew and I will make you proud of me!!! I know your are in heaven with Uncle Herman and Uncle John laughing and embracing in the loving arms of GOD. I will miss you so much. Love you than, now and forever!!
P.S. I told Momma to give you my love and I now my Momma...she kissed you, right?!! I will miss you, Uncle Andrew!

No matter how long it had been since we had last seen each other, he would always greet me with a big bear hug, a smile and that laugh. We went to junior high and high school together and you could always tell when he was around. That laugh could be recognized in any crowd. He told everybody I was his little sister and I never had any problems after that. Rest in peace Andrew.

Dear Uncle Andrew,
I'm going to miss you like crazy. I wish it wasn't your time but they say everything happens for a reason. I'm starting not to believe in that saying because I wish you were still here with the family. Love you always and forever.
