How our hearts ache for you at the loss of your beloved son, Brandon. We’ve been there and know how devastating it is to lose a child – it isn’t the natural order of things. I feel blessed to have been one of Brandon’s teachers, and I know he fought hard for his life, he was that determined. Our sympathy is with you and your family as we continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
