Brandy, I haven't physically seen you in years but there is always a place in my heart for you, your Mom and Joey! We had alot of special times, reading and cooking (more like ordering pizza) lol and going to the Dairy Barn across the street,. Long time memories, now I need you to R. I . P.  Save a spot for us, I love you and are always in my heart 💓

This was the day we decided to put a tattoo on our necks. (Right behind our ears a big green four leaf clover.) It was for the luck we shared and gave to one another. A best friends tattoo to always remind us we were there, listening when we needed one another and always present. I haven't stopped touching it since you've left us. It's just been heartbreaking. 
I will always remember the I love you's before we hung up the phone or I when I had to leave. I never hung up the phone without meaning it my love, not once!
The best memories all involved the kids and their sporting events, curling hair all night, pratices and arguing about who was working the snack bar. Maybe it was watching scary movies on Friday nights or making you take a job where ever I worked ( Sorry, I know you hated that last one) Cooking and a lot more cooking ( your dinners where the best.) making fun of the kids or playing pranks on them that still haunt them today ( remember the sleepover?)  Or maybe its your sarcasm! I loved how you, in my worst days made me laugh. Especially if a shovel and backhoe were part of the conversation. I will miss that terribly..
The encouragement you gave to not only me but everyone you touch was nothing but inspriational. The forgiveness, love and faith you had was remarkable and you knew it, you just liked it when I told you.
Dear Brandy,  the things you taught me in life made me better,  a better mother, partner, friend and human.  You were just the best of everything in our family. No matter where you are today, know this. You will forever live in me and in my family, I will never stop talking about you or how much I loved you.  There are so many stories that need to be shared and I'm so happy I have them. 
Lastly, I'm getting you a tree, a big one girl, one that will be as beautiful, strong and steady as you were in life to me. One that will grow with us until it's time for you my dear to come get me. Until then, I LOVE YOU! Forever & Always T!

Brandy, when I think of you and your beautiful eyes so full of hope and life, love and excitement, amazement and curiosity, you were a little girl when we met and so beautiful at heart. My heart hurts and it does not seem real. You grew up and have a family of your own and I know you are missed, you are not gone your spirit is alive as long the memory of love remains within all of us, you will never be forgotten. Mama Brenda and Jojo I love you and I am sending love, peace, and comfort energy to you and your entire family.  To Brandy's children, the best of her is in you nurture the love and heal what doesn't make sense, the laughter, joy, and ups and downs, are all apart of life in you. Today may not make sense, tomorrow may be cloudy, the rain may seem like it won't stop, cry when you need to, lean on family and loved ones, and most of all feel your mother's love in the silence of your day, see her smile, she is not far away, she is inside of you, blowing kisses, and holding you. 
Brandy you will never be forgotten, Fly High Sissy! Save a Place for Me!

Brandy, She was my second mom...
Helped raise me and my sister through end of Elementary  and through Middle  school. I remember when I used to go to her house everyday and she would have food and monkey bread always waiting for me. She always took me, my sister and Aaliyah everywhere! Not only was she raising Jalen she was also raising us which for some people can be hard! She did it so well though! We were her three daughters. When my mom was pregnant she always stayed with us and took us to the hospital and she also was a great auntie too my little siblings. I remember I had the worst migraine at school and she came to pick me up and she took me back to her house carrying me up the stairs because I couldn’t walk and I threw up everywhere and she just looked at me and said keep going....and continued to Carry me up the stairs and took care of me the rest of the day! She was a superhero for that I was in so much pain haha! She always took care of me with anything I ever needed. Her home was home to me also. I met brandy through her daughter Aaliyah and she instantly became a special person in mine  and my families life and always will be I love you so much brandy and I will never forget you. You will forever be in my heart and you will forever be my other mom. I would not be the person I am today without you. 

My pickle brandy, was one of the strongest women i knew. She was brave, determind, hardworking, loving, mother and aunt.  I knew brandy mainly my entire life. She baby sat me and tony when we were just babys ourself.  She helped raised us basically throughout high school.  I remember going to brandys house was like going home.  She was like a second mom to me and tony. She helped us when ever we needed it.  She supported us and cared for us like we were her own. Brandy had such a kind heart and when she loved you she showed it, she would take in all the kids she knew and treat them like hers. Brandy loved being a mother, it made her the happiest watching her kids grow. She was always involved with what ever her kids where doing.  Including me and tony and essie.  Brandy was an amazing soul and i really looked up to her alot. Ill never forget her.  She'll always be in my heart and she'll always be my pickle.

Missing you Brandy. You were both Tony and I biggest support team. You never judged, you always just showed pure love and support. You were there for me for the biggest moment of my life, giving birth to Lil man. You were there with me for all of Lil Tony’s first things, you stuck by and supported and guided both Tony and I through our relationship whenever we needed it. You have the biggest heart, your full of nothing both love. I will miss your voice, your hugs, your phone calls and text messages, your advice, your laughs and all your jokes. I will miss you at every holiday, birthday and celebration. I love you more than words can explain. Thank you for all the love and many life lessons you’ve taught me over the past 7 years. I love you❤️

When my children were born you never hesitated to take my other kids in and care for them while I gave birth. You were my friend, my ear and voice of reason. You have selflessly given of your self to everyone. My big girls think of you as a second mother.  They ache for you as I do. You will never be forgotten Brandy. I pray you have peace eternal. I will always think of you and smile. I'll miss my little boo.
Love, Chris
