Dear Melissa and family, please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beautiful son Braeden. May he Rest in Peace. He is watching over all of you now. Your Angel ❤️❤️
With very heavy hearts, we send our love and prayers during this most difficult time.
Braeden was one of the most compassionate young man I have ever met. Not because he’s my grandson but because the grace and kindness he showed towards others. I will someday see him again in heaven. What a reunion that will be. ❤️
Braeden’s loving and kind spirit was nothing short of amazing. Though his life here on Earth was far too short, I have no doubt that he will be waiting with arms open wide, ready to give his Mama and family one of his loving hugs when the Lord calls them home one day. I pray for God’s Grace during this time for you Melissa and family. You are the strongest person that I know and an amazing mother and friend. Rest in peace sweet boy. ❤️
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18
Never got to meet Braeden in person but I loved him like a brother❤️ Gone to soon❤️
I knew Braeden for a while but we didn’t get close until middle school and all throughout highschool he was one of my closest friends and he was a great understanding friend who kind and funny. Loved him like a brother, may he rest in peace❤️🕊️.
Shelley, there are no words that could bring your family comfort. The love Braeden had for you was a blessing to witness. The bond between a father and son is everlasting. He will always be your guardian angel until you meet again.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. Ive heard so many wonderful things about Braeden from his Grandma Lois. May God hold you all!
Shelley,Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in yourheart.
Condolences to the family and all those that loved Braeden. May God carry you through this difficult time.
I’ll never forget when I first met Braeden. It was just the beginning of his battle. He was so brave and it’s easy to see how he could be such a valiant warrior with Melissa being his Mother.
