Dear Dean, Peggy, Sabrina, and Jessica,
It is hard to put in words the feelings that I want to share with your family. Brandon was a one of a kind young man. I have been thinking about your family during this hard time. I cannot imagine how difficult this week has been for you. I adored Brandon. He was such a hard working, gentle guy who always made one feel special. I know like you know he is with the Lord and is rejoicing with Him.
Brandon definately touched more lives than most. I will miss him and I will continue to pray for your family during this time.
Love you all,

Thinking of you
by: sjacobs, 04/10/08
Dean, Peggy, Jessica and Sabrina,
I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you in this challenging time. I have no idea of the suffering you are experiencing. However, I want you to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
There are so many things I cannot understand about life on earth. Brandon’s passing is one of those mysteries. I do have some comfort knowing that when my days on this earth are done, I will hopefully be able to have those mysteries solved and explained.
I know all of you realize what a great role model Brandon was for our youth. All of you did a great job of raising a man. I am confident that in his passing others will be able to reflect on the positive impression he made in this world while he was here. It was a pleasure to watch him live a sermon as opposed to listening to one.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or your family.

I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of Brandon. He was so involved in life and community and right on the threshhold of life's experiences with a fiance who loved him too.
I have so often thought of my son & daughter (Barbara Grider) and grandchildren (Chris Grider & Melissa at NPHS) and how their passing at such a tender age would leave such a hollow feeling in life.
We can be consoled and reassured that he is now in the loving care of our Savior, Jesus & his Father in Heaven along with the Holy Spirit.
