Watching Over Us Brandon always had a good character about him. I used to be close with the family several years back. He would always make me laugh. He was so silly sometimes but thats what made Brandon. Im so shocked that this happened but I remember that God took another angel home with him to look over us. Brandon will always be remembered for his silly jokes and kindness.... there are a lot of other traits that he had but way too many to list. To the family, (Ashley, Courtney, Leon, Michelle, Andy, Bennie and others) I hope you all will do alright in this time of grief. The pain and suffering is more than I can imagine.. I love you all and if you ever need anything please let me know. Natasha Breeden Burroughs 2010-01-27 12:44:06
