Brandi, I am really at a loss for words, but more than anything I just want you to know how much you meant to me and how much I always cared about you and loved you. You were a beautiful person with a beautiful spirit and I was so proud and happy for you and how far you had come in life. I will probably never totally understand the circumstances that took you away from all of us, but I will always remember all of the great times we shared and how good of a friend you were to me. My personal collection of our middle school and high school notes to each other is in itself a monument to that friendship. I love you and I am praying for your family and for Garrett, and that God will give all of us guidance and strength in dealing with this extremely tough loss. Love,

Brandi and I were dreamers together!! We would always get together in school and talk about what we wanted to do with singing.. We were always in at least two classes together and I always knew that I could make her laugh. Ever since elementary school I knew that if I needed someone to laugh at my jokes that she would be the one!! We always made plans to get together in the studio because I loved her singing voice! We would plan and plan and plan, but it never happened. As time passed, we would every once in a while talk on Facebook. She always gave me some sort of inspiring words. I will miss her GREATLY!! I never thought that I would be saying things in her memory.. I never got the chance to record her beautiful voice, but I am sure that she's blessing a lot more people with the chance to hear her voice! To the family, I mourn with you the lost, but at the same time I rejoice her going away, as hard as it may seem to do. Only because she doesn't have to deal with the struggles of life anymore.. She will always have that special place in the kids, Amanda, and my heart.. And hopefully we will meet again and I will recognize her from that beautiful voice!!
