On February fourth, two thousand and seven,

Braden got a call from God up in Heaven,

Everyone that night cried and cried,

As Braden was headed for the time of his life,

His mission on Earth was obviously done,

Filled with laughter, joy and so much fun,

He changed everyone,

For ONLY the good,

And was there till the end,

Like a true friend should,

Braden Aboud,

Reached out his hand,

With a smile on his face,

That was ever so grand,

I just can’t thank Braden enough,

For being there for me when times got tough,

Even though we’re miles apart,

He’ll always have a place in my heart!

I love you B.
