I didn't really know what to write on this page...Brandon's Legacy...and I have thought about it and I have wondered what Brandon would say was his legacy.  So I decided to go back and reread the candles that have been lit in his memory and reread the tributes that have been written from family, friends and even strangers and then it came to me.

Brandon's legacy will always be his compassion.  Compassion for his family and his friends and even just acquaintenances and strangers.  Brandon was one of a kind, not only in my eyes but in the eyes of others.  He was always quick with a joke but never at the expense of someone's feelings.  He could joke with you and about you but he never would do anything to hurt you.  He had too much compassion. 
Our world became a darker place that Wednesday morning, November 24, 2004 but Heaven got brighter and I want everyone to know that we so deeply appreciate everything you have done for us and continue to do for us.  It is because of you that we have continued to heal and there are no words that can truely express our feelings for you.

However, if we could all continue to live the way that our son lived...with compassion for his family and friends, his legacy will continue to live on and our world will be a better place for having had Brandon in it.

Love,
Brandon's Family
