You have done a moving and beautiful tribute / Cindy Goodgion (none) You don't know me but I wanted to tell you I believe Brandon reached out to me tonight.I was sent a link to a tribute page,on a completely different site,from a friend in Canada whose husband commited suicide almost 2 years ago.I was so sad reading that and as I am want to do,I clicked on a link,which led to another,which led to another,etc. I went through 5 sites to get to this particular site and at random,because I saw he was from Texas,as am I,I clicked on Brandon's page,intending to light a candle and offer condolences.The music held me spellbound.I listened and had tears running down my face.I made a link and sent it to my brother in law and sister,who are very active in their church.My BIL is a very musical person and I wanted him to hear this song.After sending the link,I continued deeper into Brandon's memorial and was so surprised to see that he lived in Lake Jackson,as that's where my sister and family lived for many many years.I called my sister because I was so amazed at the coincidence,only to find that my BIL,Mike Spell had worked with the kids at one time who were singing in this and that she believed that the girl singing was Mike's Aunt Katie's granddaughter.I have read the tributes and the memorials to Brandon and his love of God,the Father,Son and Holy Spirit,his love of family and music comes shining through in each and every word.I marvel at how strong his spirit calls to those of us here,that out of the millions of sites on the web,and the hundreds of memorials on this site alone,I would have chosen one to whom I had even a distant connection and I can't tell you how touched I am by this beautiful and loving spirit known as Brandon Goddard,and by the music that he loved so much.Thank you...for sharing the life of your son with one who truly was searching for a reason to believe tonight.
I'm so sorry for your loss. . . / Laurie Dreier I know you don't know me, but I just had to write. I read about Brandon here and looked at his pictures and lit a candle. My heart just breaks for all of you! I feel this pain you are going through. We lost our son, Jacob, five days after his 18th birthday (Mar.8) on March 13, 2006. It was so sudden and so shocking! It was bacterial meningitus. He was a strong healthy boy who loved music and played the tenor or bari sax in band and he loved lots of kinds of music and helped out at our church, too. I wonder if he and Brandon have met in heaven . . . We walk this road together, so full of pain and confusion, but all we can do is trust God to carry us when we can't walk or even crawl any farther. May peace come to your hearts. Laurie
one more thing. . . / Laurie Dreier Robin, I just finished reading the pastor's words from Brandon's funeral. I just know that he and my son Jake have met in heaven! Jake loved listening to heavy metal, too - and the last concert he went to was Lamb of God! I will keep all of you in prayer. Laurie
