 :bow  May each day become easier to laugh more and cry less as you think of the wonderful memories that you have of Brando.  He's watching you from above now instead of from home.  Remember, he is always with you in spirit and that can never leave you as long as you hold on to him in your heart.   :angel: 

Tears and hugs go out to you and your family,

Melissa,
I am so sorry to hear about Brando's passing - he was loved by you and your family and loved you fiercely in return.  Lucy sends you a big RR hug...

Our first RR, like our first love...is never forgotten.
As one of Brando's trainers I saw his love and loyalty to Melissa.
Like a knight of old he protected his castle.
Sometimes a challenge, but always devoted to his family. ;)

I have waited until now, thinking like Melissa that I would not cry...but my tears are for you both.

Thanks Sandra! His portrait is above my desk and he will always be watching over me like he did. I still tear up too, but his love for me was reciprocated 10 fold & he will surely never be forgotten. He truly was my knight in shining armor!
