It is heartbreaking that we only got to be with Brandon for 27 years, but we all feel so blessed to have known him. Brandon will forever be in our hearts.If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again No Farewell words were spoken No time to say good-bye You were gone before I knew it And only God knows why.My heart’s still active in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one can ever know. But now I know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store.Since you’ll never be forgotten I pledge to you today A hallowed place within my heart Is where you’ll always stay.-UnknownA celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
