Branden, you and I have been through so much together. You gave me my start in so many things when I got home from prison. We met in Federal Drug Court, you helped me find a place there, and taught me it was good to advocate for myself and others. You taught me I can love and be loved again. You also helped me to get my first job out of prison, at my first call center. My life wouldn’t be where it is today without that help. You also sold me a car when I desperately needed one to help me get to work and treatment. You did so much for me personally, I can only imagine how much you have also done for others. Oh gosh, how could I forget - you also helped me to get an apartment right next door to yours! So many great memories there! You are now and will forever be my brother. I still can’t believe that beautiful and contagious smile is gone from this earth, but it will forever live in my heart. I love you my friend. Thank you for all the amazing times we have shared and all the beautiful memories. I love you so much.
