I knew Brandon since 1999. Since the day I met him we became friends. Every holiday there was presents or baskets of candy, birthday presents, he lived with me on and off, Brandon has always been a part of my family . It was here Brandon was coming that fateful morning. I will never forgot that day, or my son Joe's face when the police told me and I saw Joe standing at the door and I told him what the police said, he had already had heard, and how he just backed away from the door, to go upstairs to be alone, or the calls to my daughters and their screams and crys. Waking my youngest daughter to tell her and having her removed from the house because she needed to be with her friends because she was so distraught. And calling my youngest son's aunt not to bring him home that day, because he was close to Brandon, and I needed at least another day, before telling him. I just want to say that there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him, and Brandon is always with me.
