I met Brandon at Howe Military School. I was a junior and he was a freshmen but things like that didn't matter there. Brandon made me feel good about myself. He made me feel like I could do anything and everything. Whenever things weren't going well he would do something crazy to make me laugh. He was always concerned with the well beings of his friends. Brandon is one of the truest friends I've been fortunate to have. I feel lucky to have known him. I miss him, however I know he is still with me.

Thank-you so much for reflecting on your memories of Brandon and for the other letter you sent me. It makes me feel good that Brandon really made a difference in so many lives. Your letter did make me cry, just as Katy's did, but that's not a bad thing.
Please tell everyone that knew Brandon about this site and check it often, because I put new stuff on there all the time. The yearbook items are new, but I had to delete a lot of stuff, to make room for them.
Brandon's Mom, Dondi

I am having trouble with sending out e-mail to you and to other people. This is the only way I could get a hold of you and let you know.
I'll send more photos when I can.

I can remember, it was my first day at Herrick Park. I had just moved to Tecumseh from Deerfield and was kind of shy. Being the same Brandon, he got the class laughing the first minute school started. I don't remember what he said but I remember that after that day I felt at home here in Tecumseh all because Brandon made me laugh and made me feel welcomed to this town. I thank him for this and I miss him. We all do.

I am having trouble with my e-mail, so I am trying to contact you from here. I have also e-mailed Anjel and Chris this way, but not sure that they will get it. Please forward this to them, just in case. Katy has never signed on this web log, so I can't contact her through this web site. I have e-mailed her several times and never got a response. I got a letter from her 2 days ago, along with several photos of Brandon. I will always be so grateful for that. Anyway, when she wrote me, (snail mail)she never mentioned the e-mails I sent her.
I am having a Brandon Berry Memorial Day on June 26th. I would love to see some of Brandon's Howe friends attend. I will pay for your hotel room if you come. Please extend this hotel offer to Brandon's close friends from Howe. Please see Brandon's home page for details and let me know if you are coming. I'll make reservations.

I am having trouble with my e-mail, so I'm trying to contact you this way.
I am so sorry that it took me so long to put your poem on Brandon's web site. My mind wanders a lot , to better days and I forget what I should be doing. Do you really think I should be driving a car?
I am having a pot luck June 26th for Brandon at 5p.m. and a candlelight service at dusk, about 9:30 p.m. see brandon's web site for details. I am asking those who wrote a poem, to read it at the candlelight service at the cemetery.
hope you can come and please let me know if you'll read your poem. Dondi
