The Tragedy
What took Brandy from us?
Brandy made the mistake of trusting someone who took advantage of her big heart. Brandy was lured to that person's house on May 17th, 2012, and she was sadly never heard from again.
The Aftermath
Reacting to the tragic loss
Brandy's family and friends came together in the aftermath of the tragedy that left us shocked and grieving.
Candlelight Vigils
Mourning Together
Our annual candlelight vigil allows Brandy's friends and family, who think about her every day, to come together to remember who Brandy was. These remind us that we are not alone in our pain, and that it is OK to remember Brandy in a positive light.
How to Help
Want to take action?
Our mission is simply to keep Brandy's memory alive and to tell her story in hopes that just maybe, someone will learn from it. Maybe they will be compelled to cut out toxic people from their life.
We do have a recommendation in case you wish to help make a difference for other families who experience such tragic loss.
