A candle has been lit!

We were deeply saddened to learn of Braswell's passing, and our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and their loved ones during this challenging time. Over the past 20 years, we've had the pleasure of knowing Braswell and Bill as a devoted couple who shared a special bond. Braswell was an extraordinary neighbor and friend, always ready with a warm smile and a kind word. Her compassion and generosity inspired those around her, creating a sense of community and belonging. Braswell's dedication to her work as a psychologist was truly remarkable. Her innate ability to care for others made her a natural counselor, and her presence had a profound impact on those around her. Though Braswell's passing leaves a void in our lives, we find comfort in the memories of her kindness, warmth, and spirit. Her legacy will continue to be felt in our hearts. Bill, please know that we're here to support you in any way we can. You're not alone in your grief. Rest in peace, Braswell. Your memory will be forever cherished, and we'll continue to celebrate your remarkable life. With love and deepest condolences, Olga and Rich

Sweet woman, I have no idea what I’m going to do without your fiery humor and easy talks. Your unfortunate and unexpected passing has broken my heart in two. There are so many things I still needed you to talk with me about. I can’t help but think of your Bill, whom you always showed so much sincere love for. I hurt for him and for all of the others whose lives you just made better by being there and being so lovely to talk with. The day you passed I went outside at the wildlife refuge where my office is and I cried so hard and I caulked hear your voice telling me to look up and just scream into the sky. I couldn’t do it because there were people out there working and I just didn’t want to deal with them wondering WTH I was doing, but I sure let it out on my drive out of there. I am grateful for your help in my life. I am grateful I got to reconnect with you. I don’t believe for a bit that you were ready for this. I know none of us were. I love you always. I know we’ll meet again someday. Until then, keep the good vibes going out in the cosmos.

I’m heartbroken to hear of Braswell’s passing. I will miss her deeply. We shared so many meaningful conversations, and she always had a way of making everything feel lighter and easier to talk about. Her kindness, warmth and the way she truly listened meant the world to me. It is difficult to process not having her around but I’ll always cherish the moments we shared. My thoughts are with you Bill and everyone who loved her. With deepest sympathy, Vann

Dearest Braswell, I will miss being able to be in your physical presence but I know I can summon you up anytime and bask in the light of your wit and wisdom. You are truly embedded in my heart. I’m so grateful to have shared so many good times with you and Bill. Dearest Bill, I am always just a phone call away. I am holding you in my heart. I love you both. Until next time, Becky

In shock and disbelief. Braswell was a friend from high school and we’ve stayed in touch most of our adult lives. I had it on my short list to visit her sometime this spring.

Please accept my condolences. Braswell was such a warm and compassionate person. She was so helpful in helping me through some of life’s challenges. We continued to stay in touch after moving to Australia. I know she will be incredibly missed by her family, friends, and the Savannah community at large.

I just found out about your passing my friend. Bras and I met when we were freshmen at Adams State College in Alamosa Colorado. Both of us connected instantly. We shared a lot of laughter freezing our asses off in that little off campus cottage that we moved into freshman year. I emailed her in the last month or so with the intent of sharing some laughter about the current state of politics. And although we lost contact with each other over the years she made an effort to reach out and find me with the resilient intent of the true friend that she was. I am so glad she found the love of her life with Bill. And I will be playing Aretha's Gold and the Allman Brothers in her honor. She exposed this small town girl to so many things that I had no clue about at the age of 17. And we had this great conversation not that long ago about having survived our rambunctious youth and finding ourselves still kicking. I know Bras went to the light because she did so much good in the world. My heart goes out to you Bill. She probably told you how much she loved you. But she also told me how lucky she felt for having found you.

I am so sorry to find this news. She was a unique person, and will be greatly missed, by you Bill most of all. Hopefully she and Ed are catching up. In the arms of the angels now.

OH my word! I am so shocked to read this! I can’t believe Braswell is no longer with us! She was such a tour de force! Warm and loving and fiercely herself, gosh, I loved her! One of my favorite things she said was “I want credit for time served…” (she and Bill were together for years before they married. She was so funny, and so delightful! Gracious! I will miss her. My love and prayers go out to her family and many friends during this time of adjusting to her absence in our lives, though that indomitable spirit will live on.

Sweetest B, there is a hole in my heart. From the moment I met you, I had a forever soul friend and sister. The world is dimmer without you living in it. I love you.

I was stunned (still am) to learn of Braswell's passing. She was the younger sister of Ed, my best friend in grammar school and someone I remained good friends with until his tragic passing years later. I remember Braswell as being such a happy kid and always wanting to hang with her brother and his friends. Every time I was with her, it was always fun. It has been such a pleasure to reconnect with her over the years through social media, even though we were on opposite sides of the country. I will definitely miss her. Love you Braz.

Oh Bill, I am so sad Braswell is no longer with you and with us. She was a fierce, funny and loving spirit and I will miss her terribly. I will know our spirit is still with us when something quirky and funny happens.

My heart breaks for dear, sweet Braswell. Your compassion knew no bounds. I am grateful for the grace of your friendship and wise counsel as a colleague. You will be close in my heart and spirit. Condolences to all who loved her.
