Thinking of you as always. They say time heals all wounds, I don't think there is enough time left on this earth to heal the pain of loosing you. You know, I just watched Austin powers for the first time and thought of you the whole time. It was one of your favorite movies and I can still hear you saying "ya, baby". You were such a silly girl! I'm still your biggest fan. I miss you and love you!

Hey Brandy. It's been six years and I just wanted to let you know that I think about you just about everyday. You have taught me not to take life for granted and to appreciate everyday that is given to us. I know you're flying high with your little angel Kirsten and watching out for everyone you care about down here. RIP ANGELS

Hey Brandy,

I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I have not forgotten about you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I miss you more than you will ever know. You were and still are my best friend. No one can compare to you and what you meant to me. You were the one person in my life that understood me completely. I miss the way that you could always make me smile no matter what. I miss our long talks. Since you've been gone I have had no one to talk to. Sometimes I sit in my car and just talk like you are there beside me. That makes me feel a little better because even though you are not right here with me you are still with me and you always will be. I keep you in my heart and in my thoughts always. You are truly an angel. Watch over my family and lead them down the right path in their lives and keep them safe. I love you always.

BRANDY,

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE YOU WERE TAKEN FROM THIS WORLD TO BECOME THE ANGEL THAT YOU ARE. NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU. I MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. I REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES THAT WE HAD TOGETHER AND THAT IS WHAT HELPS ME WHEN TIMES GET HARD FOR ME. I THINK ABOUT ALL THAT YOU HAVE MISSED. MIKE AND I GOT MARRIED A MONTH AGO AND IT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE BUT THERE WAS ONE THING MISSING AND THAT WAS YOU. IT WAS REALLY HARD ON BOTH OF US WITHOUT YOU THERE. WE KNEW THAT YOU WERE THERE WITH US WATCHING OVER US THAT WONDERFUL DAY. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT US TOGETHER AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY BEST FRIEND. THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF MY LIFE. YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME. YOU ARE TRULY MY ANGEL. PLEASE WATCH OVER EVERYONE WHO LOVES YOU AND KEEP THEM SAFE. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. YOU WILL BE IN MY HEART ALWAYS. I LOVE YOU NANNER!

LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER,

HEY BRANDY,

IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE YOU WERE TAKEN FROM THIS WORLD AND THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU. I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. YOU WERE AND STILL ARE MY BEST FRIEND. IT HAS BEEN A HARD COUPLE OF YEARS FOR ME TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU IN MY LIFE BUT I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD WANT ME TO GO ON WITH MY LIFE AS IF YOU WERE HERE WITH ME SO THAT IS WHAT I TRIED TO DO. I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME AND MIKE AND I REMEMBER ALL THE TIMES THAT WE SPENT WITH YOU AND WE JUST LAUGH ABOUT ALL THE FUNNY THINGS THAT YOU WOULD SAY ABOUT EVERYTHING. MIKE AND I ARE DOWN AT THE BEACH FOR THE WEEK AND I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU THE WHOLE TIME BECAUSE I WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE WITH US TO GO TO THE BEACH. WE WENT SHOPPING AND I SAW SO MANY THINGS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED AND I WISH THAT YOU COULD HAVE BEEN HERE TO SEE THEM. OUR KIDS ARE GETTING SO BIG AND IT HURTS ME TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT HERE TO WATCH THEM GROW UP. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WATCHING OVER THEM AND KEEPING THEM SAFE BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME AS YOU BEING WITH THEM. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE TO ME AND THEIR DADDY. MIKE AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED SOON AND I CAN NOT PICTURE MY WEDDING WITHOUT IN IT. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE THERE WITH US ON THAT SPECIAL DAY AND WATCHING OVER US FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU THAT I HAVE HIM IN MY LIFE AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT. I AM ALSO GRATEFUL THAT I GOT THE CHANCE TO KNOW YOU AND TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU FOR SO LONG. WELL I AM GOING TO GO FOR NOW BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DO NOT THINK ABOUT YOU. I REMEMBER EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU AND THE THING THAT I MISS THE MOST IS YOUR SMILE BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW BAD I AM FEELING I CAN THINK OF YOUR SMILE AND FEEL BETTER. YOU ARE MY ANGEL AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE. WATCH OVER EVERYONE WHO LOVES YOU AND CARES FOR YOU. MIKE AND I ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND KEEP YOU IN OUR THOUGHTS EVERYDAY. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER.

LOVE ALWAYS,

Brandy,

Amiee and I visited you on you and Crystals birthday. She picked you out pink carnations. I was in the middle of wishing you a happy birthday when Amiee sort of took over. I have a picture of you in my wallet and i show it to her all the time so she knows you. But she said, "Happy Birthday Brandy." Bent down and kissed your headstone. Then said, "we miss you." It made me cry like I did when Justin first called me and told me about your passing. Her innocence just broke my heart. I miss you and i love you. I just wanted to let you know that.

Hey Brandy,

I just wanted to stop by and tell you Happy Thanksgiving. I have been thinking about you all day. There are alot of things that I am thankful for and one of them is you. I am thankful that we got the chance to know one another and become friends and have as much time together as we did. I just wish that we had more good times to spend together. But I know that you are with me in everything I do and you always will be. I want you to know that I thank you for all that you have been to me also for watching over Kayla and keeping her safe while she grows up. I wish that she got the chance to know you and see how special you are. No matter what happens she will always know that you are her aunt. Mike and I miss you and love you so much. Well I am gonna go for now but I will write again soon.

You are my angel and you always will be.

Dear Brandy,

I haven't written in here in a long time, and I dont think I have ever written to you personally. Ive been stuck out here almost a month now, and have been reflecting back on a lot of memories. I still can not believe you are actually gone. I always think about when we were at the trailer with your family, and we walked down that long road that seemed to last forever. Now that road doesn't seem like it was long enough. So many things I think about that make me laugh make me feel so down. Even though I have been out to your grave and been to your home and sat and talked with your Mom and Sisters It still has not sunk in that you are really gone. I'm 8 thousand miles away from all my friends and family and still have many months to go, and with all the people I miss you are up at the top of the list with the ones that are closest to me. I guess thats because I know that I will probably see them again, but I wont see you for a long time. I keep thinking how I feel being on the otherside of the world from them all, and then just trying to imagine how you must feel, and how your family feels. Your still alive inside of each one of us, and with us everyday, but that will never be as great as the days when you were with us. Im just trying to say I miss you Brandy, and I love you, and I wish I told you that when I had the chance. You are a wonderful friend. Keep your sweet sisters safe, they need you.

it's been a long time , gone but not forgotten , never ever forgotten.i can't help but think about the past times, all the crazy summer's we all had ,the days of growing up , and going to school ,going to junior high school and graduating to high school thinking we were cool.those are all memories that every growing person has and mine was all the greater with you and the rest of your family in it .i recently looked towards you for inspiration.started visiting your grave again .i remember the first time i went back on christmas eve and i was crying as if it had all happened again .i dont think ive ever cried as much as the day of the funeral and i dont think i ever will again .but i started going back and just talkin to what i hoped was you , looking for hope , looking for direction ,looking for comfort cuz i felt i had lost my way .and i think its safe to say , that u showed up in a big way because for once things started to turn back around .one time i even went up there and ran into crystal and her boyfriend visiting the baby's grave.i had to choke back to not cry that time because that hit home really hard.alisha had her baby on september 5th and was seven months pregnant at the time .i miss you , i miss you so much at times that ive even caught myself writing the date of your funeral down instead of the actual date . its like my world stopped.but its like as soon as i got to going back things started going again and the powerful thing in that is i didnt believe in god at the time .im still a lil skeptical on it but you did give me that hope , that comfort that i was seeking ,i guess this is my thank you note .i just wish things could have ended up better ,id truthfully say that if i could id run up to heavens gates , and make you take my place ,cuz i know your better equipped to leave the world with a smile on their face .

to the rest of you guys - im still here for you if u need me ,always have been ,always will be - with love

Hey Brandy,

I still can't believe that it has been over a year since you were taken from us so suddenly. I miss you more than you will ever know. Not a day goes by that I do not think about you. You are on my mind all day and all night. I think about all the birthdays and the holidays and the good times that we shared together. I thank God everyday for bringing you into my life. I am glad that we got the chance to spend so much time together but there are so many things that I never got to tell you. I never got to tell you how much you mean to me. You mean so much to me and you always will. You were always there when I need someone to talk to about my problems. You always knew what to say to make me feel better. I miss talking to you more than anything. I want you to know how much I care and love you. I love you not only as my best friend but as my sister. I will keep you in my heart and in my thoughts always. You are my angel and I know that you are watching over me and my family everyday of our lives and keeping us safe. I will never forget you or the times that we shared. I Love You Nanner and I Always Will!!! LYLAS

I am just writing to say Happy Fourth of July!! I cant beilieve that another year has gone by without you here with all of us. I went to the trailer with Mikey, Jessica and Kayla. It rained most of the time, which was probably all you and how your thinking and watching over us to make sure that we are okay. We went up by the pool to watch the fireworks like we usually do and i couldnt get you off of my mind and then Jessica and I were listening to 97.1 like I always do every night since you've left us, But this song by the Goo Goo Dolls came on and I got tears in my eyes like crazy. I could stop myself from crying so Jessica and I just made each other have a good time with each other. I just hope that while you are up there that you dont forget that there are so many people down here that care about you so much and Love you to death. There is not a day that goes by that I dont think of you. I just wish that I had the chance to talk to you before you left us so I could tell you how appreciated you are. So many people look up to you, especially Matthew. He talks about you all the time and he thinks about you and loves you as much as everyone else does. But I dont think that I can write on here anymore because I'm crying but Brandy I love you and miss you soo much. You are truly an angel.

Love Always,

Florisha

Brandy,

It is hard to believe that another fourth of July has gone by without you here with us. Mike, Boo, and I went down to the trailer and set off fireworks and I was thinking about you the whole time I was watching them. They were so beautiful and I wish that you were here to watch them with us but I know that you are up in Heaven watching them and watching over us to keep us safe this year. I think about you all the time and I miss you more than you will ever know. You are my angel and you always will be. I love you Branner Nanner!!

It's still hard to believe that it has been a year since you have left us.It really helped me to know that a part of you is back. Your beutiful neice! I know that you are apart of her. Just know that we still love and miss you Brandy. BFFE

Well it has been a year since we have lost one of the most wonderful people in our lives. And we still miss as much as ever. Friday morning your beautiful neice was born. And I know that you were there for the whole thing. The unbelievable part is that she was born the day after the anniversary of your passing. It was almost like you had planned this or something. Well good job if you did. I better go for now. But I love you very much and keep shining your light on us.

Love always,

Hey Brandy,

I know that it has been awhile since I wrote to but I wanted to stop by and tell you that I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I do not think about you and all the good times we had together. I will never forget the good times that we had in my car just driving around and talking about everything. My life has not been easy since the rainy day you were taken from us. But I took it day by day and continued on because I knew that is what you would want me to do. It is hard for me to watch my daughter grow up because she never got the chance to know you but I know that you are watching her as she grows and I promise that even though she never got the chance to know and see the real you she will always know who you are and how special you are to everyone who knew you. You are her aunt and you always will be. I know that you will keep her safe and watch over her everyday of her life. I know that we will see each other again but until that day comes I will keep you in my heart and in my memories. You are my angel and you always will be. I love you Nanner!!

Love Always,

Howdy beautiful!

I needed to stop in and tell you how much I miss you. I think of you all the time. It is especially hard when one of the songs that you, Crystal and I use to listen to comes on the radio; it brings tears to my eyes and makes me realize how precious our time here on earth really is. The simple things that mean so much to us we tend to take for granted everyday, like telling each other how much we really care for one another. I always make a point to tell my children, Derrick, my mom, Nanny, Pap Pap, and Katie that I love them everytime I leave or they leave. In fear that I may never see them again. Just like you. That thought scares the hell out me. I made that mistake with you by not letting you know how much I loved while you were here and now you are gone. I love you Brandy and one day we will sing our hearts out in heaven together. Maybe there we will have an Explore that never runs out of gas.

Love,

Christy

Hey Brandy!!!

I kno its been awhile since i've written in here but i just havent been dealing with it to good and now things are worse Nick,jason, sean and Harrison all got hurt really bad and it made me think about how bad it feel to loose someone so close to you or even someone you have actually talked to or even known. I miss you so much. The other night i went to go let Sully out ( our new puppy German Shepard) and i heard a noise coming from you room and it made me cry b/c i miss going in there late at night when i come home and chilling with you and talking about all my problems. Now i feel like i have no one to talk to b/c your not here. I loved talking to you b/c you never judged me on anything i would tell you, you would just tell me your opinion and then sometimes i wouldnt take your advice but most of the time it was good advice so i took it. But im trying to live life normally with out ppl knowing that i am still hurting inside. I mean they know im hurting but i dont want to show it b/c then ppl will be too caring. Caring is a good thing but sometimes it gets a little too out of hand. But i am really tired ive been under alot of stress so i think im gonna try and go to sleep. I love you and always will. YOu are always on my mind. I miss you too..

Love Always,

Hey Brandy,

this is the first time i've written in here. I thought about you today...and about Nick and i know you're with him. I miss you soo much.I know we weren't extremely close but i still always thought you were one of a kind. Since you've passed i've become much closer with your family. when we got the bad news yesterday about nick,harrison,jason, and sean i thought about you and how all of this didn't seem to make sense.i don't what else to say so i will end it by saying bye and i miss you and love you and i will write back again sometime.

This entry is for my girl Crystal. Crystal, I Love You and you are a very special person to me, every since you moved in with me life has been much better. I know there is nothing I can do or say to ease the pain of loosing Brandy but I want you to know that I am here and always will be. You are such a beautiful and caring woman. I love laying on your bed and listening to 97.1 and chit chattin about all our drama and giving each other advice, those nights are very special to me! I cant wait till you have Kirsten Nichole, she will definitly help ease the pain because there is a piece of Brandy in her. I bet she will have her wonderful smile on top of being the most beautiful little girl in the world!! If you need anything, from diapers to brownie fraps im right upstairs!! Love you forever~MEGAN

Hey Girl!

I am thinking about you and I was just talking about you to My Mom(Aunt Karen). She misses you and we talk about you all of the time. I miss you so much...I swear, at times, I can't breathe! I miss seeing your smile.

Since day one, I've been pretending that you're still here. I never got the chance to know you that well, like I wanted to. I've missed you since that day we moved from Woodbridge and I'll miss you everyday of my life, until we meet again. I guess pretending that you're still here, makes it better for me...it makes me be able to deal...I pretend you're still at home with your Mom, but the pain will never go away.

Angela: I miss you SO much and I love you more than you know! I pray for you everyday and I think of you 24/7, too! If you ever need anything, let me know.

Michael: I saw you the other day, infront of Golds Gym and I swear, my heart dropped as I saw you get into the car and leave. I watched you at the stop sign and I wanted to yell for you, but you had your window up. I miss you and I hope that all is well with you. If you ever need anything at all, just let me know. I'm here for you!

Crystal: Thank you so much for your e-mails. I've thought about you everyday of my life and I wish that someday, I can see you. I miss you and I pray that all is well with you. I love you so much! Never forget that. If you ever need anything, I'm here for you, too!

Florisha: I love you girl! I think about you all of the time, too! You're never forgotten. I wish the best for you and I pray that you do well in everything. You are thought of 24/7 and you are very loved and missed all of the time! So, just know that every second the clock ticks, you're thought of and missed!

Brandy, I'm coming to visit you very soon :) Lately, I ache...the feeling of tears sting my eyes and I'm such a cry baby lately, but it's only because I miss you and it never stops. Life was wonderful, knowing you were always here...but now that you're not with us anymore, life will never be the same. The world seems like it stopped.

I love you guys. Take care and God bless you all.

Love always,

Emmie

Hey Girl,

I was thinking of you and wanted to say Hi. I'm sorry, that I haven't written to you in a while. It's not that I don't think about you, I think about you everyday! But, I've had to wake up early lately and be at appointments for a job interview. I GOT IT :)

I was looking at some pictures of you and Crystal, when you were 2 or 3 years old. You were all dressed in white, but you had been playing outside. You guys got dirt all over your clothes and I thought you guys looked so cute, when I saw those pictures. There were some others, where you were smiling. I'm having copies made :)

The weather is so beautiful today! You brought us this weather and painted the clouds, so thank you! I'm gonna break out in my capri's.

The other night, I went out with Brooke and Grandpa Brewster, to Springfield Mall. On the way, I looked at the moon and it was half of a moon and I thought about life and the beauty of it and the world ...but as I thought of it, I cried because it's not the same without you in it.

You will ALWAYS and forever be in my heart and I hope the day that God takes me from this beautiful earth, YOU are the one that is there waiting for me. You and Granny (Grandma Brewsters Mom). I miss you so much!

I love you!

Hey Brandy,

I think of you everyday...when I'm out, when I'm reading, writing...whatever I do...all I can remember, is how we used to play together when we were little. Grandma and Grandpa have so many pictures of you and all I can do, is look at them. I cut your picture out of the newspaper finally...because I did not have any pictures of you as a teenager.

I always talk about you to my friends and my Boyfriend. Grandma and Grandpa Brewster miss you...but they aren't the only ones. Grandpa always talks about you, Crystal, Florisha and Michael.

I wrote you to tell you Happy Belated Birthday in Febuary...I remembered you and Crystals birthday, it's just I could not contact anyone.The post didn't get up. I often wonder what you were like and I hope everyone that knew you, knew how blessed they were. You are truely an Angel and I miss you so much. I am always wanting to stop by and see you because I'm always passing by. At times, I can't get them to stop.

You know what I got for Valentines Day? A tear drop necklace for all of the times that I've cried in 2003 and the beginning of 2004. Alot of it has been because I can not find it in my heart to accept that you're gone and even as I write this message to you, I cry...it's so hard. I always ALWAYS thought of you, Crystal, Florisha and Michael. There is never a day that I don't think of you and there will never be a day that goes by that I won't stop thinking of you.

I just wanted to stop in and say I love you and miss you and that I'm thinking of you.

Crystal, Florisha and Michael...I love you. Take care and God bless you.

Your Cousin,

Emmie

The caring prayers, the shaking shock,

This awful news, my world did rock,

No one knew how it happened or why,

We were all so sad, it made me cry,

How unfair it should have happened now,

Won’t someone ever tell me how,

Her tears had dried, her pain has healed,

And God chose this time for her life to yield,

It’s later now, while we’ve moved on,

We miss her as though she had just gone,

We’ll never forget all the good she did,

Even though to her farewells we bid,

We love her still, we miss her yet,

And on this I’ll forever bet,

If she is truly in our hearts, From us she’ll never be truly apart.

I wrote this the other day because I was thinking about Brandy and all the people who love and miss her.

Brandy, I just want to say that I love you and miss you and I think about you all the time. You are always in my heart. I love you Branner!

Love always,

Hey Brandy,

I just wanted to say hi. I wrote you the other day, but I guess it didn't get in the guestbook...which is all good. I miss you and think of you everyday and as I had mentioned in my entry before, I tried to go and visit you, but I could not find you. I always say hi when I pass by and I hope that you know I love you. The only picture that I have, is the one from the News Paper, so I keep that picture of you in my wallet.

Crystal, I hope that you're well. I think of you, Michael and Florisha 24/7. I love you guys very much and hope that soon you can come and visit me. Take care and God bless.

Love always,

Hey girl i know it's been a while it's just been too hard for me to get on here with all the holidays and your birthday. But i miss you so much and think of you everyday and all the great things we used to do together. The other day that song girls just wanna have fun came on and the first thing i thought about was you and when we all went to Fredricksburg together. We had some great times you were my best friend my sister and you always will be no matter what. I LOVE YOU and miss you so much and can't wait to someday see you again and that smile of yours that just made us all want to smile.

Crystal girl i miss you so much and hope everything is ok

Brandy,

I know that it has been awhile since I was here but I just wanted to stop by and tell you hi and let you know that I am always thinking about you and I always will be. My life has gone on but it is not as good as it was when you were here with me. I am so glad that I got the chance to spend as much time with you as I did. The memories that I have of you will be with me always and forever. Just the other day I was thinking about all the times that we were riding around in my car and listening to the radio and just talking about everything that is going on in our lives and giving each other advice. Those are the times that I miss the most. Even now when I need someone to talk to I visit you because even though you are not here with me I know that you can still hear me and just knowing that makes me feel better. You are my best friend and you always will be. I keep you in my thoughts and in my heart everyday of my life and I always will. You are my angel and I know that you are watching over me and everyone that loves you and protecting them everyday of their lives. Thank you for coming into my life.

I love you Nanner always!

Love,

Brandy, For the past few monthes you have been on my mind alot. After even 7 or so monthes that you've been gone I still can't seem to believe it. I've been keeping in touch with Florisha and Crystal alot latly in which almost every conversation you come up.I hope you know how much you really meant to everyone here.I have known you for as long back as I can remember, getting you and Crystal always mixed up before that day i was just getting use to telling yall apart. I remember that day like it was yesterday, nothing seemed real it was a horrible dream that I just couldnt wake up from. Even though the last few years or so we have kinda lost touch, but even so whenever we met up it was just like another great day that I always hoped never ended.When we had the chance to just have a good conversation, they were really good and helpful to me. You helped me through my grandmothers passing so to keep things going i try to help people through yours. it's just to very hard though because you meant a great deal to many people.Knowmatter what I and nor anyone eles will EVER forget you.I love you alots

Hey girl.I know I just wrote in here last month but with the holidays coming soon I cant help but think about you. I was in the store the other day shopping for christmas and every thing I looked at, it reminded me of you. It hurts me to look at it and I had to tell myself that I couldnt buy it for you. I just want you to know that I think about you every single day. It's always gonna be like you said Best Friends Forever no matter what. Well Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Girl.

Hey Brandy! I know that i havent written in here in a long time but i havent really had the courage to sit here and actually read what other people write on here and then actually write in here. It has been really hard without you here with us. I really miss you a lot and i cant stop thinking about you. I think about you 24/7 and its really hard coming home late at night and walking past your room and not going in there to listen to music and talk to you about what goes on in life. But i just wanted to let u know that I love you so much and i think about you all the time. I love you.. Nanner

Brandy,

I know that I have not wrote to you in a while but over the last few days I have thought about you alot and that is because I have a birthday on Sunday and you are not going to be here to celebrate it with me. Ever since we became friends we would get together for each others birthday and go do something fun. I know that you are with me in my heart and in my thoughts. But not being able to see your beautiful smile on my birthday is what hurts me the most. It will not be the same without you. I think about you everyday but with the holidays right around the corner I have been thinking about you alot over the past few weeks. Since you where taken out of my life nothing has been the same. You were always there for me when I needed someone to talk to. You were there to make me laugh when I had a bad day. You were my shoulder to cry on when I needed one. I miss you more and more everyday. I look at my daughter and I see you in her. Even though you are not in her life she will always know who you are and how special you are to everyone. It is hard for me to watch her grow up without you in her life but I know that you are watching over her everyday and helping her grow up to be a wonderful little girl. You are my best friend and you always will be. I have not and I will not forget you. You are in my heart and in my thoughts always. I miss you and I love you forever.

I LOVE YOU NANNER!!

Love always,

Hey Branner! Just wanted let you know we are all still thinking of you everyday. It just isn't the same without you here. When I go to your house sometimes I have to just tell myself that you are out with your friends or something to avoid the fact of where you really are. It tends to make it easier to believe in a false reality than the truth in the unfairness. Just remember kiddo that you are always in our hearts and on our minds. Love ya lots!

it's been a while for me to write in here. as each day passes i wonder why it had to be somebody like brandy who had to go. brandy meant so much to me. she was my best friend. i guess when people are growing up they never really expect thier best friend to be here one day and then gone the next. brandy always had a way to make someone happy when they were sad. she never wanted people she loved be sad. i can not put into words how much i miss those long talks we had. the time we jsut sat in her room listening to music and talk just about everything. there are times when i can not listen to music at night because i will hear songs that we used to sing together. brandy girl i think you are the only one who knows how much i actully miss you . its been hard with you gil. lylas

to everybody who has signed,

well its been a while ,its about the middle of october now .the whole idea of her being gone is still fresh .very very fresh.i just wish things are ok for each and everyone involved. we lost , i wanna say an angel but that would be pretty cliche ,we lost the only remainder of some of the things that life was about with brandy.for me i always thought brandy would be right there if i ever needed her and to be on point she was while she was here , she was the greatest of friends i could ever ask for. her crystal and florisha and mikey. my mom used to babysit them and weve all grown up since then.im so proud of the way we could all come together as one like this . it really shows me that she was loved. and as the type of friend that i am id rather see all the love go to someone who was worth life itself as well .i wish (nobody knows how many times ive said this ) that i could take her place so u all could still have brandy today .i really do , its a bad thing to say for myself but id sacrifice it in a second , she deserves it more . well i guess it is true the good die young .and thats sad that we found it to be true in this case. i keep in touch as much as i can i talk to florisha on a constant basis and crystal when i can and i think back .... i got to tell them ill be there if they need me no matter what but i didnt get to tell brandy and i regret that .i regret that more than anything. i went to the graduation and almost broke down when angela took the stage and got brandys diploma . its all so surreal. i was supposed to be there involved in the ceremony too , at least in my own mind.it shows u how fragile life can be. im glad to say ive tried to take as lil as possible for granted as i could since that day.ive tried to learn from this tragic event but in the same respect it has made me as frail as ever. all i have to say with that is brandy ill always love u forever and a day, the memories i have left are worth more to me than all my life could ever hold,all of my past has u in it so its gonna be hard to carry on. crystal, i love u to death,i look at our past and ive been blessed ,weve had our ups and downs we even went out a few times but as a person uve been someone whod always listen and be there for me .mikey,as a man ill sit there and tell u i love u man, u were my first best friend,ill forever remember eveything till the end, uve grown up most of all out of all of us and its still all love,

angela,i may be young but i hope to relate to you and help u the best that i can , in hard times we all know who we can count on and as bein uve known me pretty much since i was born i hope im on of those people , matthew ,i wish u could have only knew what youll be missin,

vern, weve never really spoken or anything but my condolences to u too i wish that i could do anything to help out

Flo, i saved u for last cuz we talk all the time , u of all know how i feel and how i am , im so glad we have gotten close since then , i just wish to be there for you in every way possible, as a brother to you or as just a guy however u may wish to view it,i wanna make sure all the tommorrows are as good as they possibly can be . i love u to death forever and a day and it will stay that way

We miss you Brandy.

October 10, 2003

It's been over five months since that tragic day,

The harsh cold sixth of May.

The memories are all that remain,

It will never be the same.

I remember when you were a kid,

You always looked happy no matter what you did.

Why would God take my friend?

It feels like the pain will never mend.

She was only nineteen,

So many things she hadn't even seen.

Sometimes I am so sad,

Other times I am just mad.

How could He take her away?

If He would've given us just one more day.

We never saw this coming,

Oh the emptiness is so numbing.

Your job on Earth is done,

Up in Heaven I know you're having fun.

I know she's in a better place,

But I just want to see her smiling face.

She was just starting her life,

Her being gone cuts through me like a knife.

I pray each night for her mom,

It must have hit her like a bomb.

I pray for the rest of the family too,

Because I don't know what else to do.

You will always be seen in the wind,

But if I could've given my heart to you I would lend.

I will see you again someday,

Make sure you save me a place to play.

Watch out for everyone you knew,

And remember WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

The angels are singing louder now,

As Brandy takes a bow.

To Angela & Family,

Lately I find myself thinking about the past. Thinking about how much trouble the six of us got into. We were all so young and full of so much energy. We use to run around the house playing so many games in the house. We would hide all over the house, in closets, under beds, in the bath tub. And for some reason Brandy would always find me first. She always seem to know where I was hiding. I remember being soo young then and having no worries, those were the days. I miss those days. I'd give anything to go back to the days when Crystal, Boo, Mikey, Brandy, Mitchell and I use to hang out and not have to worry about things. Years have gone by and we all seemed to drift apart. I'd give anything to still have that friendship we all had then to have it now. But we've all grown up. Even lil OLE Boo. Mikey's a daddy.

I just want you guys to know that I am always here and always thinking about you guys and you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Dont ever think twice about needing anything or just wanting that shoulder to cry on I am here. I love and miss all of you.

Brandy-Hey girlie, How's it going? I just wanted to let you know that I. Miss you and that I am always thinking about you and all the good times we had. Even though we drifted apart through the years I still always thought of you as one of my lil sisters. I cant do anything to fix the gap that grew in those years, If I could I would but things happen for a reason. Girlie just look over us all and make sure that we make it through life's journeys OK. Remember we will never forget you. I love you and will see you one day.

love always,

Alisha Martin

Brandy,

I know that I have been on here alot since you were taken to fly with the angels but writing in here helps me cope without in my life. My life has not been the same without you but I am taking it day by day and it is getting easier but I still have my bad days. I visit you everyday. I sit up there for a while and talk to you about everything. I think about all the good times that I had with you. All the times in my car riding around listening to the music and all the times down at the trailer riding the 4 wheelers and getting muddy. I miss you so much. You are my best friend and you always will be. I miss your smile and all the funny things that came out of your mouth the most. Whenever I feel down I think about the things that you use to say and I laugh. I miss you every minute of every day. I know that you are watching over your niece Kayla everyday of her life but the fact that you are not here with her to watch her grow up really hurts me. Even though she did not get to meet you she will always know who you are and how special you are. I know that you will watch over her through out her life and keep her safe.

Hey Brandy,

I just wanted to write and tell you that I'm thinking about you. I think about you a lot and hope everything is going well up there in heaven. A lot of people miss you down here, so make sure you watch over them. Alexis asked me the other day what you eat for breakfast and I told her you ate whatever you wanted. She smiled. She also misses you very much. She just pops out of the blue sometimes and asks about you and heaven. I always tell her you're watching over her and then she looks up at you and smiles.

Angela, Vern, Mike, Crystal, Boo - I hope things are getting a little easier with the time that has passed. I know you all still miss her very much, but just remember she will always live within your memories and in your hearts. Take care.

Hey Brandy, how is it going kiddo? Well yesterday I went to another funeral for a young man who was 27 years old. He had one little girl and one stepdaughter. Maybe you can tell me what secret operation that God has got going on up there with you all. I just can not believe it. I really miss you chicipoo. I know that you are in a better place now, but it is so hard to face the fact that you are really gone. I apologize that I haven't been to Mount Comfort to see you but I just can not get up enough guts to come there. I feel the pain of losing you everyday. And I think that if I come up there it is just going to make it even more real than it already is. If that makes any sense to you. I will one day just not now I hope that you understand. There isn't anything that I don't do during the course of my days that you are not in my heart and on my mind. Samantha used to cling to you like white on rice. "I want Bandy is what she would say before she was able to get out that r sound. We have on video tape at Christmas time one year when you had her head banging to that song "pretty fly for a white guy." She misses you as well. I should go for now. Talk at you later. I love Brandy

I don't think many people know that Brandy felt as though she had very few friends. She always put on a happy face to make others feel good when she didn't always feel that way herself. That is just the kind of person she was. I visit this site often to read what her friends have to say and it makes me feel good to know that my daughter was so well liked and loved. I have learned a lot from her passing and that is to never take anyone for granted and always take time out to say hello to a friend or an aquaintance. Everyone is always so busy with the hustle and bustle of everyday life that often times we put off calling an old friend or saying hello for another time. Unfortunately life is too short to keep putting things off for a more convenient time.

I talk with her little brother Matthew about her everyday. I know because he is so young he may not remember her much. It breaks my heart that he will not remember how wonderful she was and how much she loved him. As hard as it is I will keep reminding him of her everyday.

I want Brandy to know that I miss her deeply and always think of her. I miss her laughter, her smile and the way she used to giggle all the time. She is still and will always be my little branner nanner. Just remember mommy loves you and you will always be in my heart.

It's so hard to see such an angel go.. I just sit back & wonder why you ? why now? Such a beautiful, sweet girl... I remember all the times we had when we were little we used to play in the yard hang out & talk about so many things.. I visited you the other day & didn't shed a tear I knew that you will always be near & you wouldn't want me to cry.. So I looked down and smiled. I think of you every day & all the lives you touched & still to this day & forever you will touch so many.. I will continue to visit & think of you in everything I do.. Just know there is no such thing as forgotten.. Please keep an eye on all of us to make sure were alright.. Brandy I love you & will see you some day.. Keep smiling

its been a while and the thought is still heavier than ever.

i have visited a few times since that sad trip in may and things arent the same ,and i dont think they ever will be . i was at the graduation ceremony and i broke into tears. i believed that this was our year.if i had my way i would have been graduating with that class but not only did i not graduate with my original class but neither did brandy get to. ten rows up from the floor i started ballin.i dont think a night goes by that i dont think of at least one good memory from the past with her in it.its been like that forever , i have so many memories with her.i am currently workin on a tribute to her and anyone willing to help is more than welcome, i feel its the only way ill ever be able to get half the feelings i have about this out .ive tried time after time but i just break down again and again. if i could have said anything to sum how i think about it up it is this " brandy was angel , her destiny was to be in heaven all along . its hard but im happy for her". but at the same time im still greiving . so many beautiful things sent to her from many of people prove to me that brandy touched so many people by just being brandy. i send my condolences out to each and everyone of you. if u feel like i do then you know where im coming from. as a young adult lookin for life to begin i already feel lost. may brandy watch over me and show me the way. god bless and love to all

Yesterday I went to visit Brandy and for the first time since she passed away I went alone. I sat up there for a long time. I cryed a little but then I thought about all the good memories that I have of her and I stopped crying and talked to her about the good times. It felt good to talk to her even though I know she cant answer me I know that she can hear me. Then I said my goodbyes and I told her that we would meet again. She was a great person. There is one thing about her that I will miss the most and that is her beautiful smile. She was so kind hearted and friendly to everyone she met.

Brandy I wanted to tell that I think about you every minute of the day and I always will. You are my angel. You are the breez that blows through my hair and you are the sun and the moon and all the stars in the sky. You are in everything that I see. You will always be my best friend. I get online every day to see how many lives you touched and when I am going through all the beautiful things people wrote about you I start to cry and I know that you would not want me to do that so I stop crying but it is so hard. But I know that you are in a better place and that you are watching over me everyday of my life. I know that we will see each other again someday and I try to hold on to that. So I take it one day at a time and I never let go of the memories that I had with you. I love you always and forever. You are my beautiful angel and I know that you are up there riding in the mud all the time. There are so many people whose life you touched and we all miss you so much. We will never let go of the memories that you gave us. We love you very much.

I love you Nanner!

Love always and forever,

Jessica

A Young Angel

It's hard to see an angel die,

all were left to do is cry.

Were left here with so much sorrow,

she should have been promised another tomorrow.

Why did she have to show up at heaven's gate?

Why take her now, couldn't god wait?

Life feels so empty without her here,

i wish i could see her, i wish she were near.

I should have told her what she meant to me,

she was always there, like good friends should be.

She can never be replaced, i hope she knows,

but she was so young,why did she have to go?

She left her family, and many many great friends,

i guess this is what happens when heaven sends.

She belonged to god, i knew from the start,

even she knew one day she would part.

But who could have known she would leave so fast?

But she is gone now, she has passed.

The laughs we shared, are here with me forever,

i won't forget you, I can promise you.. never!!
