LETTER TO BRANDON  / Shorty (old friend )

 

you never know,
when it will be too late.
Just hold on tight,
and lead the way.

when its time,
dont be ashamed.
hold your head high,
just be on your way.

come and visit us,
so we know your ok.
then be on your way,
to that happy place.

you left us so young,
but thats ok.
you left us with something,
we can never replace.

we may cry,
but you can cry too.
it just goes to show,
your cannot be replaced.

keep living your life,
with your comforting smile.
but drop down sometime,
to help us stop crying,
with your wonderful smile.

I miss you B Rock  / Sandy (Shorty) Dugger (old friend )
Hey B Rock. its been sometime. I had a dream about you last night and I knew it had to be a message from you.. I look at this website dedicated to you and all I can do is cry. I cant even type this without crying.. I moves away during 8th grade thinking everything was going to be fine and i would just get my friends number saying that i'll call them one day, but for you that one day was too late. I cant do it know. That night I was watching the news and i saw your picture. I couldnt belive it at first so i had to look again.  All I could do was cry. I should have called you sooner. IM SORRY!! Please forgive me. Its been over a year and I still cant believe it. You were always the star of choir. Never forget that. You could always put a smile on anyones face no matter how upset or angry they were!! No one could ever stay mad at you. Well Im gonna go before I make a new river.. Love ya B Rock!




I miss you,

re: your son Brandon  / Laurie Brock (fellow grieving parent )

My heart breaks for you!  What a handsome son you have! You are s strong brave loving mom who didn't deserve to lose your son so soon.  I guess God had a different plan for Brandon and since he is all-knowing we must trust and believe in Him.
 Love to you and all our angels! Laurie Brock (mom of Adam)

Hey Brandon!  / Brittany Davenport (Close friend )
Hey Brandon,
             I cant believe its almost been a year already. It doesnt seem like your really gone.  It feels like you just went on vacation for a long long time. But in all reality I know that your not on vacation. I miss you sooo much. Things where just alot happier when you were around. You always made sure you had everyone happy. Can you believe Liz is preganant? I know you know shes havin a little girl. Hopefully Lizs daughter dont have no crazy house partys like Liz used to. LOL. (you know you were there partyin with all the rest of your FRIENDS.) Those were the days, huh? I miss those days so much! We were hopin she was havin a little boi so he could follow after you and be a FOOTBALL STAR!  But it looks like that isnt gonna happen. Help us look over that little girl, Liz will need your strength just to get her out and I know you are gonna be laughin while shes pushin in pain. LOL. Well i love you and i hope your doin good, I hope you are happy. We miss you so much, you are truely MY ANGEL! Close

Wow / Triana Moore (Homie)
Brandon wow I really can't believe that you are almost gone for a year. I am so scared to face the fact  that you are really gone! Brandon if you can read this I want you to know that I miss you like crazy! Not a day goes by I don't think bout you. The other day I started crying because Its hard to let you go Brandon I wonder what you are doing in Heaven. What is it like. I know that you Love it. I am still not sure if all the boys that was with you that night all understand your lost. I sometimes think about what are even going through their heads. The things that makes me so mad is because I wish you did not have to go through it by your self  II really wish you did not even have to go though it at ALL.  I miss youBrandon I can't take it no more. Help me-B-. I cry all the time. The last time I went over to your house I wanted to cry so Bad. I had to hold it in till I got to my car. Why can I not face the fact. I don't want to face it. I can still remember The day we were at the water Fountain and  You started siging The stupid Bubble gum song. I miss that so much. I miss the song now   I can only dream about it. Brandon I know you already know this I loved you soooo much, I am not never going to be the same it is so Hard. I know Heaven is so lucky to have you up there. I was so lucky to have you as my Friend. our last conversation was not  so good. But I know that it was just a misunderstaing. The Boys that was with you that night  (some) of them has taking life for granted. If this has not woking up their eyes what will. God forgives everyobody that ask for forgiveness. But the real Question is was it worth it!!  I know that that I have one vote that knows that is was not worth is I miss him and Knowing that type of Brandon He didn't let things bother him Now sleep Like a angel Brandon That I know that you are. The first thing I am going to do is Hug you when I see you again. Moms miss you So much.

     Mama- Bickers, 
                             I Love you to death. I want you to know that I am a very Lucky Girl to have two angels walk in my life out the same family. Mom I love you so much. You are my heart, my soul, my pain,my strength, but most of all you are my hope. I think that you are a women of no fear. Power is the key to strength love is the key to passion but most of all  Hevean is the key to life. That is where Brandon is. I know that Life took Brandon at a young age but God is watching over you wih Brandon. Brandon was lucky to have a mom Like you! I love you mom. I don't or can't imagine what you are going though but God knows. I am lucky to have a stong Black women in my life. There aint nonthing in the world I would not do for you I will always love you Mom! I am so proud of you! Stay stong because Joy comes in the moring. Stand up and tell the Devil that he may have taking one of you angels but he WILL NOT TAKE YOUR PRIDE. 
From Triana Your Daughter+ your  # 1 FAn WYou will make it MOM!

How time flies  / MOMMIE
My Angel, don't think I have forgotten you because I don't write on here that offen. Iam on the site all the time. It just hurts even to type you a note. I sit here and check the site to read the candles & tributes to you and smile.When I do write to you I am usually crying. I can not believe it will be 1 year next month. It seems like yesterday we lost you. I now have a real hard time talking about you to anyone without crying. I think about when you would say " lt's not fair" about anything, and I would tell you "Life is not fair", I should have told you "Life can be Cruel"!  I see all the kids outside playing basketball and football and I look for you in the crowd. Then I remember, your not out there. At least not physically. 

I hurt so bad when I see any of the boys that were out there with you. It seems that most of them have done nothing with the second chance they were giving. It could have been one of them hit and not you. I know if that were the case and you were here and one of them was gone, you would have taken a big look at what you were doing wrong and make it right. I pray for them. I pray they look at their lives as gifts, and try to get good educations, and good jobs, and become positive role models. I pray for them to remember you and that night and make something of themselves. Some of them are too old not to stop and realize that now is the time to start thinking of their future.

Well my angel, I love you and miss you forever and 2 days.

Thinking of you with prayers  / Rita Payne (friend of mom )
Ellonia,
I think of you often. Any time you want to talk or cry together just let me know. You know where I work. 

I can't say I know how you feel, as everyone's pain is different yet it is the same. I lost my son and it has been almost 6 years now. I wish I could say it gets better but it really doesn't. You just learn to live with the pain and grief. Grief has become an old friend to me now. Follows me everywhere... sometimes he is content to stay in the back ground and other times has to be the center of my attention. 

I am here. I know what you are going through as I am there as well. One day at a time, one step at a time with baby steps. And don't forget to breathe. In the beginning it seems like that was even a hard task. I had to remind myself to breathe.

A mother's heart is strong and sturdy to hold the love and pain it must bear. A piece of my heart was buried with my son and I know that is true with you as well. A heart once whole is now broken and has a big jagged hole in it. It can only be filled with the memories of our sweet sons. Until we see them again. And we will.

((((hugs and love to you and Brandon))))

Crazy / Latisha Miles (Friend)
Things are so crazy in my life now Brandon.  When I think im up someone shuts me down and when im down i stay down!  I really pray that you would continue to look over me and help me through the hard time that I am trying to get through at this moment.  Brandon, things are getting so hard for me.  You already kno my situation so there is no need to broadcast it. But of all the people in the world Brandon, i cant believe it was her.  It really did hurt me a lot to actually take the chance that I haven't taken in a while and have all of my worst nightmares come true. What should I do?  The people I love most are there but not for long so I need help.
To Mrs. Ellonia:
I truly believe that u are one of the best greatest women alive.  I am trying to come and see you as soon as possible and you will always be in my prayers.  I hope that you are doing weel and expect a call really really soon.
Brandon, I really miss you and I hope to see you soon one day.

MISS YOU MUCH
