I am sorry I was not there as much as i could or should have been. I miss everyone. I will miss my grandmother. I miss my mother as well. I hope both are looking down at me smiling. I could have been a better grandson and visited more often, its hard living so far away and not seeing my family.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Brandal family.  We are sorry for your loss.

To the entire Brandal family, our deepest condolences on you`re loss. may god bless and watch over your mother .Mike Wachowiak & family

Our deepest sympathy to Uncle John and family and friends

Auntie Ann, we are all going to miss you very much. We have had so much fun growing up with you and Uncle John from the early morning x-mas breakfast to the wild partys in the basement. You and Uncle John were always there for us for fun or to get us out of trouble. We will always remember the memories and we will keep you in our hearts forever.

MOM,  You will be missed by not only by your family but everyone you formed a friendship with.  Your hugges and kisses will be missed, you were always there for for everyone never complaining about anything even while you were having health issues ,it was always thinking about everyone else.  We talked about how nice and lucky people were to just close there eyes no pain or anything and start there journey to heaven. Words can't describe how much you be missed.  WE never hope anyone leaves us but we all know one day our name will be called, and to leave us the way you had wished for is such a blessing                                                                                           love and miss you so much,

My deepest condolences Uncle John and family, you continue to be in my prayers.

To know Auntie Ann was to love her. 

Growing up her house was the place to be. Memories of chocolate chip cookies, peanut brittle and taking turns cranking the ice cream maker.  On weekends Uncle John and Auntie Ann would load all us kids into their station wagon and take us for ice cream, and many other places.  These are just a few memories I will cherish always. I will miss our talks, her smile, her laughter but most of all her hugs and kisses.  I am so very grateful Auntie Ann was a part of my life and know she is watching over us all.

I am going to miss you so much grandma. We shared alot of memories together as a family. I miss watching you cook and the talks we used to have. You were what brought our family together every year time and time again. If I could bring you back I would in an instant. You are irreplacable.Watch over your family and friends. We all need you. Wish you could see our families bloom... cause they are growing even more. You are one in a million grandma and i want you to know I am going to miss you very very much.

Our deepest condolences to Uncle John, family and other friends.

Words cannot express our sorrow.  Auntie Ann was one of a kind, she had the warmest of hearts and truly loved Uncle John and her family.  Her extended family grew throughout the years as most everyone she met became a close friend or loved one.  For Mick and I, growing up as part of Brandal clan was very special.  Auntie Ann and Uncle John were always there to help with a problem, offer advice or feed us, especially with homemade ice cream and Auntie Ann's famous chocolate chip cookies (baked or not).

We will always remember her smile, her hugs and the love she gave us.  We take solace in knowing that she is free of pain and watching over us from above as an angel. 

The world never knew a more beautiful person.

Deepest sympathy to all of the Brandal's.  Sad to know how much Aunty Ann went through later in life, she was such a loving nuturer, friend, and neighbor.  Everyone on the block knew there was a warm hug, a bandaide, and a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie waiting in the kitchen for whatever childhood mishap one of us kids had.  A beautiful soul, rest in peace.
