We are struggling to find the right words to say and sometimes words just seem to fall short of what we are feeling. We are feeling lost, empty and deeply saddened. I will miss Brandon's smile so much, but a smile will continue to come to my face when I think of memories I have of him. He was a loved member of Lucknow Central PS and worked hard to achieve his goals. If you needed help with anything, he was there; if you needed a smile, he was there; if you needed farming advice, he was there. Thanks for being there kiddo - you will be missed.
