Missing you  / Angela Patterson (Longtime Friend )

Brandon, 

    Goodness where do I start. I know while we were growing up we were together all the time because your mom would watch my sister and I.  And I took all that for granted.  Now that you are gone I am so upset at myself for letting us get so far seperated after graduation, and I know once you leave highschool everyone goes their own way.  But I still remember that one day I saw you at Mcdonalds and we got to talk and catch up in a matter of like 15 minutes it was almost as though time didn't skip a beat, like were were still as close as we were growing up.  You would be happy to know that I made your family a very special blanket.  I was so proud of myself to be able to accomplish something so special not only in your honor but for your family as well, I know it will be something that will forever be in your family.  To let all of your neices or nephews to come in the future that they will know how much you mean to everyone that ever had the pleasure to know you and call you a friend.  I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to say goodbye to you, but i want you to know that I am always thinking about you.  I didn't come and see you when it was time for everyone's last good byes for now.  I only didn't come because I wanted to remember the warm smile that you gave me and the hug that I recieved from you because I always thought of you more of the brother that I didn't have.  We were always in the same classes growing up.  I go and visit your page everyday on myspace to see your picture because then I have all of these happy memories that definatley out weigh the bad ones.  I will come and visit you one day soon.  I know your birthday is also coming up.  Man I miss you.  So when I go outside at night I look up at the stars and talk to you, And I know you can hear me because on those clear nights i  feel that you are here with me and helping with whatever I'm talking about.

Love you forever and will see you in heaven

Angela Patterson

missing your smile  / Toniane (family friend )

It been about 7 months since you were taking from our lives.... the days are getting long and there not getting any easier. I see the pain on everyones face when your name is mentioned... a pain so deep that I know, no matter what, nothings going to make it better. Growing up with your family has been one of the best experiences in my life, seeing the love you all shared, the trust you all had, the bond that couldnt be broke.  I walk in your house and you are everywhere and I actually forget for a moment that you are gone. I just hope wherever you are you are looking over her....shes so lost without you (you know who I mean). They are all so lost without you. Miss you Brandon.....

We're lost without you!!!!  / Jen Coleman (Friend)
I still can't believe you're gone Brandon. I honestly don't think this will ever get easier for any of us. It'll be 3 months on the 19th of this month, and it's had to have been the hardest 3 months of everyone's life. I got old pictures out not long after you left us.....the parties Lauren and I used to have. The nights on "Bob Bis" farm, and of course, the nights at the Washington House and the Archway. You were a great friend, someone who was always willing to help anyone in any way that you could. Your smile was a ray of sunshine, and you were so sincere. I want you to know that even though you are not here with us physically, your spirit lives in all of us each day. We hope you will watch down on us, and keep us safe through our lives.....We love you very much, and we will meet again someday :) Close

your our hero  / Joseph And Bailey Gardner (fellow soldier and friend )

A Soldiers Prayer
(Author Unknown)

Do not stand at my grave & weep I am not there, i do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints of snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave & cry I am not there. I did not die


we LOVE you brandon

Final Tribute To A Noble Warrior  / Josph Murphy (none)

Brandon, Sir, your sacrifice, in my eyes or memory will never be forgotten. I only pray that when we meet face to face to face, in a little while or so ... that you give  this crusty old former Marine the honor and privilege of shaking your hand.

To another Amercian Hero  / Kristi Nelson (Wife Of Fallen Hero PFC Andrew Nelson )
I lost my husband PFC Andrew H. Nelson on 25 DEC 2006 while he was on duty in Baghdad, Iraq.

I know the position you guys are in, you feel so much pride but at the same time feel so much pain. I'm so very sorry for your loss and I wish that I could say something to make things worse but have been in your position only 7 months ago I know there is nothing that will make life any better at this time.

I just want you to know that we are now united by our fallen heroes and if you ever need anything please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do what I can do help.

Know that Brandon is watching over you and always will until you meet again.

Thank you Brandon for making the ultimate sacrifice and thank you to his family for doing the same.

I have a website on here for my husband as well.

God Bless you all
