This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Brandon French who was born in Maryland on October 08, 1983 and passed away on July 29, 2006 at the age of 22.  He is always and forever in our hearts along with his grandfather "Pop Pop" Robert Brocious who passed away on April 29, 2006.  Brandon and Pop Pop are standing together in heaven at waters' edge, fishing rod in one hand and sunflowers seeds in other.

A Lavender Butterfly

Brandon is a lavender butterfly
Soaring with the grace of God
Touching our hearts where angels play.
Brandon is a lavender butterfly
He fishes off the tan dock
The casual plaid shirts he wore.
Brandon is a lavender butterfly
His blue eyes look down from the clouds
A smile as bright as the sun.
Brandon is a lavender butterfly
He watches over his mom like a guardian angel
And will never be gone from her heart.
Brandon is a lavender butterfly

Written for her mother on Mother’s Day 2008

If we could have a life-time wish

A dream that would come true,

We'd pray to God with all our hearts for yesterday and you.

A thousand words can't bring you back

We know because we tried.

Neither will a thousand tears

we know because we continuously cry.

You left behind our broken hearts

And happy memories too..

We will cherish those memories,

But all we really wanted was you. 


Light a Candle

And I will light a candle for you
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh today I light a candle for you
