A day we will never forget / Wanda Mitchell (friends mom )
Brandon, its been a year. A long year filled with tears, laughter and a few more tears. I am so full of emotions today. Anger, because you were taken from us so young, confusion and sadness as to why we have to lose young people, and yet somewhere in there is a little peace knowing your in heaven. I have thought of you everyday since last year, sometimes even cried for you. I feel so proud to have known you. I miss your goofey grin, I miss the silly voices you used to do, I miss the pain in the fanny tactics you had, but most of all I miss knowing you were here. You've given me memories that will never be forgotten. The lives you have touched are numerous. Your generosity of laughter fulfilled each and every person you knew. I am so proud to have known you and loved you. Love forever and always in my heart, Wanda Close
EVERYONE take a moment / Uncle Shaner
EVERYONE please today April 1st, please take 3 minutes today at 3:26pm to 3:29pm to honor and remember Brandon, Sean and Chris. Close
I know right now It’s hard to understand Just what lies ahead And what is God’s plan We ask ourselves Many questions why Is He still involved? And cares about our lives We ask ‘Where is love’ When we’re in need? When we’re in the midst Of a tragedy But we can rest assured That He is with us Every step of the way With compassionate love IN LOVING MEMORY OF BRANDON COOK JEWETT ANGEL DATE 1/4/2005

Remembering, it was the best of times, the worst of times / Uncle Shaner
I remember the very fist day, I was 15 and Dave Blaisdale drove me from Cannan NY to Utica in record time. He told me it was time for me to come home and meet my nephew, MY NEPHEW, wow I had always BEEN a nephew and never had one. I didnt know what to think or how to act or anything. I knew though that when your mom let me hold you (well i snatched you realy) I just remember thinking how great it was gonna be. Everday I talked about you to everyone that would listen, telling them how proud I was that I was a Uncle. as time went by as it inevitably does I became even more so, your talents of writeing and drawing and creative thinking dazzled me. and as cruel as time can be, I found myself without enough of it spent with you. The fates can be so cruel and greedy, they took you before we were ready to let you go. Here it is already a year since that day. I cant sleep, its 5:30 am and i find myself looking at pictures and scetches, reading your poems and books of fantasy. And I am mad, mad that magic doesnt realy exist, or your time travel spell doesnt work, or why is it I cant use the Returne card from Magic and poof here you are. I am angry that the fates had to be so cruel to our family again. I try to reason it out in my head but it doesnt work. I still hear the pain in your moms and brothers voices as they talk about you. I still feel as torn and heartbroken today as a year ago. But I also feel the joy that you have given me, the late night/early morning chats and talks, the long conversations about what the future holds. Your philosphy still inspires me. Your friends have not waivered in their commitments, they still visit very often and still talk about you almost everytime I see them. I still play magic and am even trying to start a Magic monthly meeting "With us old guys". I still wont use the Platinum Angel. I miss you very much and today will be just as hard as a year ago, but today unlike then I will celebrate you in the Irish tradition and send you a Celtic Druid teldenar. I love you, look after your Mom and brothers today, they will realy need it. Love Uncle Shaner Close

Remembering You! / Nicole
Brandon..the time of year has come when you became an angel which is quite ironic because when you were with us here on earth you were quite a devil. I have never been one to be very poetic with my words like you or your Mom and even you must admit at times your Dad had a line or two. It helps me to remember times I shared with you and hope that those stories bring smiles and laughter to those who knew you and even those who didn't, as it brings me comfort to know that there are many people who write on your Memory page that never had the oppourtinity to blessed with your presence. So I share this story about you as I did with friends the other evening...when you hit your double digit years you went throught a phase where you convinced your parents that by doing chores it wouldn't add to your life and that you would have more time to be creative..and to my amazement they fell for it...or the times when you just didn't feel like showering..you stinky boy :-)and Mommy and I would threaten to drag you upstairs and throw you in the shower. Recently I came across pictures of you from your running days...how you ran like a graceful gazelle..a talent you definitely did not get from your Aunt Nicole...these things comfort me through the rough days of missing you and hope only that you will make your presence known to Mommy, Daddy, Kevin and Colin and everyone else you touched with your beautiful amazing life...on your anniversary Brandon I am experiencing heartache for not having you here, for your family but also a overwhelming sense of pleasure to have known you, loved you and have been part of your life for the years I watched you grow. You always be one of my boys that I would have fought fiercely for and did at times.

Never said goodbye..... / Diane Angel Mom- Katie Cassidy
You never said "I'm leaving," You never said "Goodbye," You were gone before they knew it, and only God knew why. A million times they needed you, A million times they've cried, If love alone could save you, you never would have died. In life they loved you dearly, in death they love you still, In their heart's you hold a place, that no one could ever fill. It broke their heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for a part of them went with you, the day God called you home.
Missing You / Aunt Lorie We love and miss you. I Think of you and all I missed nearly every day. Itook it for granted when you moved to Fl. I thought you would always be here I'm so sorry! Love you Aunt Lorie and all your cousins Shilo,Ronnell, TJ.,Chad, Brent, Hannah, Molly, and Ian Close

Each day passes and a new one begins. Though it is hard to make it through the nights sometimes. I will live the rest of my days in ~BRANDON~ honor. I will have peace in my heart knowing that ~BRANDON~ was mine. ~BRANDON~ Was here to make me who I am today. Yes, there are so many questions that I want answered. Yes, I do have anger that ~BRANDON~ is not here with me now. Yes I want to keep ~BRANDON~ memory inside me, and share it with those that will listen. Though somedays it is hard to get out of bed I will do it for ~BRANDON~. For those people that cross my path when I am having a bad moment, please somehow send them a sign that I am sorry. For the times when I received a phone call and I dont seem to freindly. please forgive me. For those that are reading this and feel the same way I do, Please light a candle so I know I am not alone in this world. Let me know that you too are hurting for the loss of your loved one. This is the only way we are going to make it through this..... Together...... ~BRANDON~ was here in body, He is still here in spirit and he is with you always. Know that when you are having a bad time, and feeling lonely.... ~BRANDON IS STILL HERE!!!!~ Carry him with you, live your life the way ~BRANDON~ would have. I wrote this for the families that have lost a loved one. You are not alone. but If you are like me, sometimes you feel that way. Lots of love and understanding, Cassandra,,, memory of my beloved Brother Danny Groves...
Irish Eyes / Uncle Shaner
Never before and never again will such Irish eyes be smiling, down from heaven and to the lach nor shores, be it yesterday or tomorow till forever more.
Your gave smiles as though they were candy and laughter spilled over as a water fall, when you were here it was clear Irish eyes were smileing more.
Your pride is ours now to carry forth as we will not falter in this deed. But give us one more glance at those Irish eyes of glee.
So a toast to you and the three who without Irish we would not be, raise your glasses high with hope to see those Irish eyes smileing at thee.
For
Anita Burke (mom) Brandon Cook (nephew) Sean (brother in arms) Chris (brother in arms) may you sip from pattys cup and never meet a one who kisses the stone to much.
love all of you
tá mé chomh mór sin i ngrá leat Close
well bud it has almost been a year since you and chris and sean left us.....we still ask why, we still cry we still stubble to try and find the words to express how we feel. Not a day go's by that we dont miss you, not a miute subsides that we dont feel the pain or loss, our only condolence is the memory of your laughter and smile. the common bonds of your friendships still hold strong, your love of laughter and wit still echo in our thoughts, so soon, its comming to fast, and we still hold back the hope that it was some cruel cruel joke, that you will come bouncing back and that nothing is wrong, but we know to well that the three shadows that danced and played in the sand will not appear when we look for them, but the memory of them will cause us tears and smiles as we look fondly upon where they once stood. We miss and love you guys very much Uncle Shaner
