Maybe you knew it, but you gave me a real purpose and passion to help others. I am proud to be associated with the fund and it's only because of you. I will never forget you.

Through one of Brandy's philanthropic efforts, we had the good fortune to (virtually) meet. While I never got to see her face in person, her effervescence and empathy were evident in every phone call, email, and text. She made an indelible impression on me and I will endeavor to honor her spirit by being more caring, more patient, and find more joy and laughter in silly things. My deepest condolences to her beloved husband and son whom she talked about regularly and with great zeal. May sweet memories comfort all who mourn Brandy's incredible life and memory.

I met Brandy when she worked for the neurosurgery department at UT. Such a beautiful soul that is now a bright light and angel in heaven. Thank you for your warm smile that you shared equally with everyone. Brandy was able to make anyone welcome and open her heart even if she just met you. I pray for comfort and blessings for her family. Lots of love and prayers❤

I just want to say I had the privledge of knowing and friending Brandy. We found out we are actually cousins! I have many fond memories of She and Gene, having dinner at my Home in Texas or being hosted in their home , and playing with my sons, even going on vacation with our family to Pensacola Florida. Brandy and I had many conversations about the Lord, praying and The word of God. There were many hilarious and beautiful moments we shared. Brandy, I am sure you have your answers to those questions we spoke of, from our Father Himself I know you are in no more pain and are watching over Gene and Camdon now. My heart aches for your beautiful family Gene. I love you all with my whole heart. I am so sad and sorry for your great loss.

Gene, so sorry to hear about the passing of your beautiful and forever kind wife Brandy. She was one of the first people I met when I started at UT over 5 years ago. I've never seen her without a smile on her face. Stay strong Gene and God Bless You.

Gene,
I am so very sorry for your and Camden's loss. I never met Brandy but I always admired her from afar when you two were leaving work together. She was a beautiful lady and always had a smile.
