It's been seven years and I miss you as much today as the day you left. Spent time with Grandma last week, we talked about you. Texted Alex today, we talked about you. You are never far from our thoughts and we still miss you so much and just wish you were here. I added a picture of your memorial wall plate. It hangs at The Air Force Museum. Grandma and I stop by and leave flowers for you sometimes. We feel close to you there. I also included a photo of the small tree at Maple Heights Baptist Church with the plate that bears your name. It has grown since that picture and blooms every spring. Time marches on but it is not the same without you. Loving you and missing you sooooo much!!!
Love you,
Aunt Sue
Much love,

I can't believe it has been 5 years. Your boys are growing up and your Aunt is growing old!! Grandma planted a tree at her church in your honor and there will be a granite plate with your name on it. It will flower every spring, just another way for us to keep your memory alive. We miss you so much. Love you !!!!!!!!!
Happy 34th birthday B-man. Sending wishes through the tears. Still thinking of you every day and missing you even more.
Love you, Aunt Cheryl
Today is your 32 birthday. I am spending the weekend with your grandmother and your son Alex. We have smiled and laughed and talked of you. Wish you could be here! I know life has to go on but I still miss you very much. You should be here with us, but I love knowing your heart no longer hurts. I love you B man!!
It is your 30th birthday and I am really missing you today. I know you weren't crazy about turning 30 but I sure wish you were here and I could be sending you a goofy "old man" card and talking on the phone. I love you!

Memories
I will never forget the fun times we had with you when you were just a little guy. Taking you to the circus, hockey games and monster truck races. Those are memories I will always treasure. My favorite memory is the time we did the skyflyer jump at Kings Island together. I regretted doing it at the time, but still a fond memory. :) I envied your bravery! I enjoyed watching you grow up into a man, starting your own family and building a happy life. How I wish you were still here to finish the story...
You will be missed!
Brandon's first Reds game
Steve and I were dating and loved going to Cincinnati Reds games. We invited Brandon to join us when he was just a little guy. Steve taught him a lot of baseball facts and he had a real good time. I remember when they introduced the players before they were up to bat, there was a giant photo of the player on the Jumbotron with his name and stats. One guy had a really bad photo. He looked like he had sat on a tack. His eyes were wide open with a very surprised look on his face. Brandon looked up at the Jumbotron and said "Wow that guy sure can stare!!" Steve and I just cracked up. He didn't realize it was just a bad photo and actually thought the guy was just staring out from the Jumbotron without blinking. Oh the innocence....
