"Brandon M. Cordes Sr., who passed away suddenly on 1.12.01" "He will
always be in my thoughts. He was my father, a confidant, an advisor, a
best friend and a mentor."
As Thomas Jefferson was once quoted;
"Dying is not the extinguishment of the flame, but merely the turning
down of the wick, for the dawn has come."
