i love you & i miss you evrey day! / Kasee McIntosh (friend) Brandon -- Hey ! i was just stoppin by to tell you that i love you and i miss you -- you will NEVER be forgotten ! your life can only be celebrated by the people ur still living through and i think we're all doin a good job altho u'd prolly like for us to smile a little more =) You were probably the best person i kno even to this day -- i dont think i ever seen u frown -- u were always the life of school --- no one likes school but you made it worth goin to -- ecspecially Biology freshmen year -- it was a drag but you always had some way of makin it interesting! Something different to laugh about everyday! i just thought id let you kno that i love you -- to Brandons loved ones every one has a part in the way a child turns out just kno you guys did your best and he would have only continued to do GREAT deeds for people he lived his life in an extraordinary way through the smiles of other people! We all get to see life in a different way now - we have the best gaurdian angel there is he was gods gift to earth!! You will all always be in my prayers and my thoughts! Brandon will for ever be loved nd his life celebrated!! With ALL OF MY LOVE - Kasee McIntosh
God, you sacrificed your son so that we and our children would transcend physical death. We know that you grieved when he was crucified and that you grieve over all the atrocities done by men -- especially in your name. You know and understand grief as you know and understand all. You know best how to comfort these parents. Lift their hearts up to you and fill them with your peace. Your understanding is beyond our human comprehension, but give them the knowledge and faith to endure even that which they can't understand. Let them be aware of you always God, and help them to remember that your Love is Life that can never really be taken away. Close

Brandons birthday / *.
I miss you on your birthday, Not only for your smile, But for the piece of me that's gone, Left within your care. I'm in an empty hallway And have been for awhile, Gazing inwardly towards home, Neither here nor there.
How imprecise the instant Held hostage by my tears! Though Time may seem insatiable, I have you in my heart.

Hey Brandon, I havent visited your site in a while and I wanted to say Im sorry cause Ive really been meaning to. You know Liz is due any day now. We are hoping and praying that she has her daughter on your birthday, so you can have somebody to celebrate your birthday with you. Liz had some contractions the other day at school and we joked that you started them cause you thought it would be funny. I hope you bring your butt to the delivery room and help Liz push that baby out.Trust me we need your help. Liz always talks about how much she wish her daughter had a chance to get to know you, I tell her Anaejah does know you, because you sent her to us. Like 2 weeks ago we went by your house to see mommy but nobody was home. We just wanted to see how everybody was doing. I told Liz we're going to have to take Anaejah ove rthere after she is born so mommy can see her. Well I hope your doing okay and thanks for watching over us. We all miss you alot. I 'll always keep you and your family in my prayers. I love you and you are missed very much every day!!! (trust me you will never be forgotten!) Close

hey Miss. Bickers .. i miss you so much .. i have tried calling but it seems everytime i call is the wrong time .. i recently moved in with my dad so i dont go to Ben Davis anymore .. i go to Lawrence North .. i hate it and i want to go back to BD! .. but i have a new number and e-mail .. & i'd really like to hear from you when ever you get the chance .. i miss you so muuch and i think about you all the time .. you have really helped me more then you know .. and i want you to know that even though i dont live over there anymore .. im still always going to be here for you .. i love you soo much! I was wondering if your going to do anything for Brandon's birthday this year like you did last year? please tell me if you are. thank you and i love you!
First I must say "THANK YOU"! I always knew you you came to visit me. You couldn't have picked a better way to come and see me. The first time I just said it was a coincidence. Then the second time I said "okay" . But the third time I really knew it was you. I know you were probably saying "Ma! Hello! It's Me!" I finally realized.
The first time I was on my way to work going over "the railroad tracks" where everthing began the night you were taken from me. Your Aunt Candi had called me and we were talking about send a friend of hers a thank you note for the plaque he gave your dad and I about you. The windows in the truck were all up except the passenger one. I had it open about 2 inches just for fresh air, when out of nowhere a butterfly flew in the small opening of the window and landed on the passenger seat. It sat there for a minute flapped it's wings and flew right back out the window. It was so beautiful. Your aunt Candi said "that was Brandon coming to say Hi". I just laughed and said I guess. That was a Monday.
The very next day August 29, 2006, I was coming home from dropping Dorian off at Tae Kwon Doe school, when I noticed something on the upstairs window. I got out of the truck and walked around the house to see what was on the window. To my surprise it was a Big Beautiful Butterfly just sitting on the screen. That window was the window to your room.
On Wednesday the 30th, As always I was standing on the porch watching for Dorian to get on the school bus. When along came a Butterfly and landed on the flowers by the porch. It was right at the edge of the flowers just looking at me, as if to say "Good Morning". As I looked at the butterfly, he flapped his wings a few times very slow, then flew away. Those flowers are the flowers we planted together in 2004. You planted yellow and I planted orange. The yellow are the only ones that have come back every year. You teased me about your beautiful flowers . You would ask me where were my orange ones. You told me your thumb was green and mine was black. I kept thinking "Why Butterflies?" Then one night last week I noticed something. I was getting ready for bed when i looked over at my corkboard that has been on my wall for years full of pictures of all you boys and mom. Above the corkboard was a butterfly. Out of all the toys you kids go in Happy Meals, I only kept two for myself. Both were the beany babies. One was a "Ladybug" because that was what I called mom. The other was a "Butterfly" only because it was beautiful. That butterfly had been up there for years. I still think there is another reason for butterflies, I just havn't found it yet.
Two weeks ago your dad and I were over Aunt Cindy's house and I was telling her about my butterfly sitings. She called me yesterday and told me she had a butterfly that came on friday and remain there until sunday, when she told it " You can go home now". Aunt Cindy's house was the last place we all went together. You had just helped your dad the day before you left us to put in a A/C unit. You have been busy visiting everybody.
From now on everytime I see a butterfly, I will say "Hello my Sweet Angel".
OUR SONS / ISABEL ESCOBEDO (NONE)

MY SON TOLD THEM TO LEAVE HIM ALONE , THAT THEY WERE GOING HOME, AND HE SHOT MY SON FIRST , THEN SHOT QUINTON. THE SAD THING IS THE BOY THAT WAS STANDING NEXT TO MY SON GREW UP WITH MY SONS AND WAS LIKE FAMILY AND NEVER SAID A THING . HE RAN AND LEFT THEM TO DIE. NOW HE IS TESTIFYING AGAINST THE GUY WHO KILLED MY SON. OUR TRIAL STARTS OCT. 16.2006. I ALSO JUST BURIED MY MOM ON 9/16/06. NOTHING THEY CAN GIVE THIS GUY WILL EASE THE PAIN I HAVE SUFFERED.

BRANDON IS NOW FOREVER YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL. ALWAYS. ISABEL ESCOBEDO JOEYS MOM Close
Hey this is nikki. i just lit you a candle but there was so much more that i wanted to say so i thought now would be a good chance. Im sorry that it has taken me so long to write you and talk but i was always scared that because i barely know you i didnt really have a place in doin it. I wish that i knew you better. But i feel so close to you because of your family. I just wanted you to know that even from someone who only met you a few times and talked to you on the phone that you are missed. Every time PD cries for you i want to so bad. You are loved and missed so much. I know that if you were here so many things would be better and different but i know that you are gone for a reason. i hope that you continue to look out for you family and friends. They need your guidence in so much and i can tell how mch that you have looked out for PD. I hope that you are proud of him and how much he has changed for the better. He is trying so hard to get his head on straight and get everything together in his life to make you and the rest of your family proud of him. Anyways i just wanted to say that you are missed and loved so much. I wish that i could have gotten to know you alot better. I dont really know what to say. This is kinda weird for me. RIP love and miss you always and forever. I hope you are having fun and having an awesome time up there.
I'm sorry / Christina, Jared's Mom
I just want to say that I am so sorry to hear what has happened to your son. It is sad to know what our world has come to. Losing a child is the worst pain that anyone can go through. So I know all to well that there is nothing that I can say to make it better. But I would like to just say that I will think of your son and your family always and keep you in my heart. www.jaredmyangel.comClose
