We've lost one of our friends

[LAX]

I've come to learn some really unfortuanate news today. Most of you have learned especially everyone on paltalk. I'm coping doug's post cause I believe he said it best:

After such a good day today at the FBA/PALTALK Softball game, I became aware that we lost a fellow fan of the Opie and Anthony show.

Her paltalk screen name was brand_16. And I know from the calls I got today that Brands was friends with a lot of people on this message board, and people we know from the show.

Below is the news article about Brand_16. In this article are the ONLY facts about this case so far. Please remember that. A young woman was shot and killed, and a young man was shot and injured.

http://www.wtnh.com/Global/story.asp?S=5303662

THOSE ARE THE FACTS, PERIOD, DO NOT SPECULATE ON THIS EVENT, IT WILL BE DELETED. NO SPECULATION PERIOD. ITS NOT CRINGE HUMOR, ITS NOT EDGIE, ITS FUCKING SAD THAT A YOUNG WOMAN LOST HER LIFE TODAY.

These posts will be promptly deleted, and member banned.

People need other people at times like this, and you are welcome to do that here.

Alot of people were robbed of someone they care about today. She was a daughter to someone, a niece maybe, but most of all, I know she has a lot of friends that care about her. Please keep her friends and family in her thoughts tonight, and this week. A lot of people have a long journey ahead of them, especially if Brands parents are still alive. 28 is not even close to being someones time, and no parent should have to lose a child.

So please, have a brain, be it on Paltalk or here, post knowing that people here cared about her, and for once, if you are feeling like an asshole, please stay the fuck away from that thread.



I talked to Brandilynn alot via paltalk, phone whatever, she was a really great girl and I fell terrible. So guys please be respectful, and keep her friends and family in your thoughts. RIP-branilynn

I am deeply sorry this had to happen. My condolences go out to friends and family.

[Bob]

thoughts and prayers.

[zagman76]

wow.... that really sucks... i am so sorry to hear that... :(

[JAndrea95]

Brand was a very dear friend to both Andrea and I, I feel completely empty right now.

[DoughBoy]

Just as an FYI:

It was also made known that Bobby was also pulled off the life support.

Two needless and sensless deaths. Keep their families in your hearts and minds in this time of great loss.

[Twinkie_2001]

God Bless the Family's may the two victims R.I.P

[LilChester]

For friends of the Brand, peace.

[Arch Stanton]

Terrible. Very sorry. Prayimg for both of them, family and friends.

[dodisman]

Awful news...I live in the area but wasn't aware of this...

[circpro]

Very sad to hear..

[Garm]

My deepest heartfelt condolonces for both people and their families.

[Halo Five]

:(

[Lil]

Both were very good friends and will be greatly missed. My condolences to both families and everyone who knew them.

[Flea_Man]

Brand was an absolute sweetheart when I met her. On paltalk she was always super nice. I'm saddened and devestated at our loss. My condolences to her friends, family, and to her close friends on here. Only the good die young. RIP Brandilynn. Heaven has a new angel.

[BCH]

:(

Fucking pointless.

[Towelie]

Jesus what a thoughtless tradgedy

RIP

['lil conner]

truely a sad day, she will be missed terribly

[Flea_Man]

I would just like to post these beautiful words from TMan on paltalk:

As I sit here and cry, I am trying to make sence of all these feelings I have, I knew them both, I liked Brand even though we were at odds for shallow misunderstandings that I felt would work out through time because I thought we had plenty of it. Brand was obviously loved and it is very understandable why. I myself will miss her awsome smile and that contagious laugh.

I think it is also important to acknowledge Bobby. I know that his actions are unforgiveable to many who are on the outside looking in and even to some who are so saddly involved, but the point is is that before this happened Bobby was cool to alot of you and a friend to many, even a brother to a few.

I, myself, loved him dearly, We shared many long nights and even longer days on the phone together. I shared with him my thoughts and dreams, and he returned as much. He was also a crutch for me on many occasions and I thought I was for him as well. I can't say why he did what he did. And going through a million emotions right now I can tell you that I am extremely angry at him for his taking the life of another and his own, but.... I love him. He was the closest thing to a brother I have ever had. He was my best friend. We talked about everything. The saddest thing is that he died mad at me about a stupid misunderstanding that I was to stubborn to call and try to fix with him and now that chance has past, He is gone, my brother has left me to face this world alone after we made promises not to ever do that to one another.

All I ask of any of you is to remember that before 5:30 this morning many of you were cool with Bobby. Many of you cared for him. I would never ask for you to forgive him, that only matters now in the eyes of his maker. Just remember that your view of him before should still be remebered and that his most fatal of actions shouldn't overshadow the fact that his life is over as well. I will miss them both, I will never forget them, and I hope none of you do either. The internet is real, we are real, and tonight... I cry because a piece of my heart has been taken from me and there is nothing I can do to change that. T.R.

well said...I guess after a few hours of thinking about it and listening to everyone in the paltalk room, now its starting to sink in. How can a girl I spent hours and hours talking on the phone with and someone I was drinking with just two weeks ago no longer be with us...It's really fuckin sad and I'll miss ya Brandilynn:icon_sad:

[Stalker Patti]

Sad and senseless; my condolences go out.

[Bunny™]

Such a beautiful person....so sad. So goddamned sad.

[Ol'BloodyBottom]

Terrible. Sad by the news and I didnt even know the girl. Prayers to her family.

[WhiteHonkyDevil]

Let me be honest and say that I don't know much about anyone involved with this. I've never talked, typed to, or had any kind of conversation with them....

But...

Let me raise a toast to the memories that others have of the victims.

[Mafialife Chris]

My deepest prayers go out to all who were effected by this tragedy. I am very sorry.

[Hudson]

Oh My God! ....I am soo sorry for them and their families!
I will go say a prayer for them tomorrow

[CurseoftheBambino]

[Rob]

:(

[Hudson]

Again I feel sorry! I can't Believe it

[pointblankJ9]

BAM said it best. For whatever it’s worth, I’m here for any of you who can use a friend, and I’d love to help in any way possible. I’m so terribly sorry for all of you who were close with Brandi or Bobby, as well as both of their families and loved ones.

[krispykreme]

I don't participate in Paltalk, and I really didn't know the parties. Still, I'm saddened by this senseless loss of life. That said, if anyone ever needs to talk, I'm on a lot, just send a PM.

[BeezerBlanks]

I didn't know either very well, but my thoughts go out to their families......

[Cromwell]

Same here - didn't know them. But, I'll "be there" if need be.

[CallmeQtie]

It sucks when someone dies, and there is nothing that can be said or done to help ease the pain felt in the hearts of the loved ones left behind. I'm here if anyone needs a shoulder to lean on. My deepest condolences go out to her family and everyone who knew and loved her. She will be in my prayers.

[thegreatgazoo]

I didn't know them personally but saw her often on paltalk. Just wanted to give my condolences to the families and all who knew them. Say a prayer.

[RobeSoup&Tears]

For what it's worth....I send my prayers and condolences to the family and friends.

[JAndrea95]

For what it's worth....I send my prayers and condolences to the family and friends.
its worth more than you guys know. thanks again for everyone’s support and wackbags professional attitude with this. :clap:

[ChimneyFish]

I didn't know either of these two. My heart goes out to everyone who did.
A close friend just lost his father to suicide less then two weeks ago. All I can really say is, to those of you who knew these people, be there for each other and, especially, their families. This is not only going to be a devastating time, but an extremely confusing time as well.

Sorry to hear about this. I didn't know them, but feel sad for all of you that did, and the families.

[Flea_Man]

Does anyone know how to make a YTMND? I'm trying to make a tribute one to Brand but I can't get the song (Knockin' on Heaven's Door) to play. If anyone can help me edit it, it would really mean a lot.

http://brand16.ytmnd.com/

[Eddie Halford]

My toughts are with all the families involved and friends.
I would have considerd her as one of my paltalk mates and will miss her greatly. The last thing we talked about was me slagging her noisy bird and her slagging me back, she was funny and great to know, i feel i only knew her a short time here on this earth, but I will remember her for the rest of my life.

Love you forever brand.
R.I.P

Eddie Halford

[Ballbuster1]

I didn't know either of them, but I offer my sincerest condolences to both families.
It's always very tragic when young life is cut short.

[kloraferm]

I didn't know her, but that doesn't change the fact that I was very saddened to hear that.

[Standby]

I'll be honest, this thread caught my eye on the main page, otherwise I wouldn't have stumbled upon it.

I did not know Brandilynn, but I pray for her as a fellow person, who was unjustly taken from this world. Reading through this thread and seeing my friends who knew her and were impacted more directly really brings it home, and for that, I pray for not just her, but those living on with memories of her, that they never forget her. While we're always on here having fun and making jokes with one another, when it comes down to it, we're people all the same. RIP.

[Dugout Doug]

I did not know Brandi, other then seeing her on paltalk 2-3 times after Strangler told me how hot she was.

She was doing something silly with wigs I believe, and I know it was funny, or I wouldn't be able to pull it from memory now.

The other guy, I dont think I ever talked to, let alone seen.

Never met either of them

What a day Sunday was. I mean 75-100 people, just having a good fucking time. It was insane. Absolutely insane. Everyone smiling. Everyone having fun. Sharing stories, drinking beers, cooking, eating, playing games.

But In my hind thought, the simple thoughts of, What happened to those 3, after walking by the table with 3 unclaimed Jerseys for the softball game, again, in hind thoughts, just becomes eerie, and very sad.

It sucks, but for no one more then their families. You can say that the guy that pulled the trigger was an ass all day long, fact is, he has a mother and father that are having a VERY hard time right now.

Our prayers and thoughts should be with them. There is nothing much to say, for something that make so little sense.

[UnOriginal]

That's so sad. I hope the rest of her family and friends are doing the best they can.

[Miss Abooty]

I am here for anyone who needs a friend to talk to. I am a good listener, so if you need someone to talk to, pm me.

[Puddle O AIDs]

I didn't know them, but we are in the same comunity. Thoughts and prayers go out to thier friends and family, it must be unimagineably hard

[Kid WOW]

I knew of her from Paltalk... not well enough to call her a friend, but enough to know just how painful this is for all of us... especially not to mention her family. She deserved so much better than this. It's hard to erase the pain of her no longer with us, but for those who knew her best... keep in mind the good times, the jokes, the humor, the friendship and love. Let that aid you in this time of pain, and keep her family and loved ones in your thoughts. Rest in peace, Brand.

[Grizzly]

Damn. . .that's fucked. Thoughts and prayers out to their families. . .

Any further details on what this was about? Why they were arguing in the first place?

Seems so pointless and fucked up. . .

[LAX]

Here's some new information, credit to HTG

Here is the information that I received from a close friend of Brand's for anyone who would like to express their sympathies to Brand's family. All are welcome to attend. Those who do choose to attend, please respect the fact that this service is for Brandilynn only and be cognizent of the sensitivies that are at issue here.

Quote:
A Celebration of Life will be held in her honor at the Leo T. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home, 2900 Summer St, Stamford, on Thursday, August 24, 2006, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.

Quote:
Brandilynn L. Fambrough, age 28, died near her home in Naugatuck, CT, on August 20, 2006. She was born in Seattle, WA, but moved to the Fairfield County area over 10 years ago. Most recently, Brandilynn was employed as an Administrative Assistant at DT Holdings of Stamford. For several years prior, she was an integral household member and child care provider for several local families.

All who knew her cherished her for her enthusiasm, candor, charm and beauty. She was loved by all, especially the many children she nurtured daily. She perceived each day as a unique adventure and captivated those near to join her.

Words cannot describe how greatly she will be missed.

Quote:
Brandilynn is survived by her mother, siblings, and many, many dearly loved friends near and far. In lieu of flowers donations should be made in Brandilynn’s name to a local domestic violence victim assistance facility.

I have been told by a close friend and colleage of Brand's that she loved the idea of having a drink and a toast, and to celebrate a person rather than mourn them after death. Those who can attend the services are welcome to gather for a drink afterwards at a place to be determined. Those who are unable to attend can have a drink her honor.

Self-inflicted head wound fatal Naugatuck police say ex killed girlfriend, then shot himself

Tuesday, August 22, 2006

BY PAUL SINGLEY


Copyright © 2006 Republican-American

NAUGATUCK -- A man who police believe shot and killed his former girlfriend early Sunday morning, and then shot himself, died at Saint Mary's Hospital late Sunday.

Police said Robert Krueger, 25, of Brick, N.J., shot Brandilynn Fambrough, 28, several times on Andrew Avenue early Sunday morning. Police said Krueger then shot himself once in the head.

A hospital spokeswoman said Krueger was alive and in critical condition during the day on Sunday but died late Sunday night.

Police said Monday that Fambrough, who lived on the second floor of a two-story white house at 160 Andrew Ave. for about a year, dated Krueger for about six weeks. Police said Fambrough, whose family lives in Washington state, broke off the relationship about two weeks ago.

Police did not know what brought Krueger here early Sunday morning. Police said he and Fambrough had an altercation, but they did not know what it was about.

Fambrough previously lived in Stamford, and moved here about a year ago, according to her landlord, Thomas Barron.

He said he knew Fambrough through a family member.

"She was a nice girl with a bad boyfriend, I guess," he said.

He said he never had a problem with Fambrough while she lived in his house. He said she worked in Stamford, but did not know what she did for work. He said she was quiet and kept to herself.

"I suppose this kind of thing happens everywhere," he said. "I just never imagined it would happen here."

He would not comment further.

At 5:33 a.m. Sunday, police received several 911 calls from neighbors saying they heard shots being fired.

Officers said they found Fambrough and Krueger lying in the middle of the road near 151 Andrew Ave., which is an entrance to the Horizon Homes apartment complex.

The scene is less than a half-mile from Andrew Avenue School, an elementary school.

Fambrough was pronounced dead at the scene and Krueger was taken by ambulance to Saint Mary's Hospital, according to police.

Police said they recovered a black .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol and multiple casings. Police said the incident, which they have ruled a homicide and suicide, happened very quickly.

Police believe the shooting started in Fambrough's driveway. During the shooting, shots hit a house behind 160 Andrew Ave. Police said Fambrough then ran out into the street, where she died.

The incident was the borough's first homicide of the year.

Krueger's father, Robert, is a patrol officer with the Brick Township Police Department. He did not return a message left at his office on Monday.

Fambrough's family in Washington state declined to comment on Sunday and did not return a message left on Monday.

[CaraC]

Thank you to all of you for continuing to show your support to Eddie, Jen and myself. It truly means a lot.

[MelissaY1]

This is a horrible tragedy. I also didn't know either one of these people personally or casually to be honest but I know no parent should ever have to bury a child. I have relatives who have gone through that and friends of the family who have gone through that and to me there's nothing worse in the world than that. Like others on here, I am here to listen. Anyone wants to contact me feel free to do so. I have some good friends on here who were close with those lost so a reminder to them too I'm here to listen.
My condoloences to the family and friends of these two individuals who I'm sure impacted those in their lives in their own special way.

[Lackluster]

A senseless tragedy. My sincerest sympathies go out to both families.

[Snotbag]

That really sucks.

Deepest sympathy to the families.

just thought this picture made sense to put up

Cara, Brandilynn, Jen

Though its cliche, some pictures really do say a 1000 words. I guess I'll remember most was that she was always smiling.

Cara, Jen and Eddie, stay strong guys and we're all her for you.

thanks lax. i was wanting to see this picture. Brand was ALWAYS smiling and having a good time. She was so easy to talk to and such a good friend. The thing that breaks me up looking at this picture is (and correct me if I am wrong) that it was taken at 4:30 AM.... 1 hour before... :icon_cry: but it really shows how much love she had for people. This IS Brand, its who she was and is to us.

[Sinn Fein]

I've stayed away from Paltalk for quite some time, so I didn't know any of the persons involved. But, this kind of thing always saddens and angers me. All those affected have my deepest condolences.

I just wanted to bump this being that tomorrow at PNC I believe theres gonna be a little something for Brandilynn...Just a thank you to everyone who posted. While we might be seen as a bunch of assholes by most, we really do come together when it counts...So lets get drunk and have fun tomorrow, I know for a fact thats what she would have liked.

Victim's loss felt by friends Murder/suicide leaves borough, co-workers shaken

Friday, August 25, 2006

BY JOANNE M. PELTON


Copyright © 2006 Republican-American

NAUGATUCK -- Brandilynn Fambrough had so much more to accomplish in her young life, friends and co-workers said Thursday.

Fambrough, 28, was murdered early Sunday morning when her estranged boyfriend, Robert Krueger, 25, of Brick, N.J., shot her several times outside of her apartment on Andrew Avenue. Krueger then killed himself.

Police have ruled it a murder/suicide. They said they do not know the motive and Krueger did not leave a suicide note.

Friends said Fambrough met Krueger on an Internet site and dated him for about six weeks, deciding she only wanted a Platonic relationship. Krueger showed up at her apartment around 5 a.m. Sunday and asked Fambrough to step outside. Inside, several of Fambrough's friends were there for a sleepover, police said. Krueger then took out a gun and shot Fambrough several times, according to police.

"It's just a senseless thing and greedy to take her life,'' said Fred Bobson, partner at DT Holdings in Stamford, where Fambrough worked as an administrative assistant. "This whole thing is horrendous. Everyone that knew her feels bad. She had so much more to accomplish in her young life.''

Bobson said the commute from Naugatuck, where she had found an affordable rental, to Stamford every day was long and that she recently found an apartment in the Stamford area.

"She was so happy that she was moving closer to work,'' he said.

He said Fambrough was "family" to him and had a tough life after leaving home in Washington state when she was a teenager. "She had a rough life but she was working out of it,'' he said. "She was such a great person and so full of life and she touched everyone she met,'' he said.

Mickey Berkowitz of Stamford said Fambrough worked as a nanny for him and his wife, Lynda, for more than three years. He said she grew up in the Seattle area but left home when she was around 15. He said she moved out of his home last September and in April started working full-time for DT Holdings, a jewelry manufacturing company.

"She was like a daughter and was infectious in her charm, and very honest and sincere,'' said Berkowitz. He said she also had a "very positive'' impact on children. A tree will be planted in her honor at the Northeast Elementary School in Stamford, where Fambrough met many staff members and children while acting as nanny to his child.

Kevin Marino, another partner of DT Holdings, said they have been in shock since learning that Fambrough was murdered. He said she will be "terribly missed'' at the company where she had easily made friends.

"Her concern for other people's lives, feelings and happiness was genuine,'' he said "She left us entirely too soon.''

Friends and family members said goodbye during services Thursday at the Leo T. Gallagher & Sons Funeral Home on Summer Street in Stamford, not far from where she worked at DT Holdings.

She is survived by her mother, Sherry Fambrough; a brother, Ronald Fambrough; and a sister, Tammy Fambrough, all of Seattle. They could not be reached Thursday for comment.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Fambrough's name can be made to the Women's Emergency Shelter Inc., P.O. Box 1503, Waterbury, 06721.

[Deadhead]

I didnt know those involved.
May peace be with the families and friends.

[JoeFromDetroit]

I only pop on Paltalk once and a while. I go in the O&A room for a few minutes. Never gone on mic, cam, or really even typed anything. Always just checked out what was going on and signed out. Last Sunday I went on and heard about this. Just awful. 6 weeks of being with a person could drive you to end their life, your own, ruin two families, and hurt a shit load of friends. Obviously I know very little about what was going on with those two.

Sad and depressing.

[KathiV]

If anyone has any photos of Brandilynn,please post them.I'm a friend of a Brandilynns sisters,Stephine & Tiffany and we are trying to get as many pics together as we can.

Thanks,Kathi

[Wah_Wah_Penes]

This same thing just happened recently to an aquaintance of mine.....Although I did not personally know the people, my sympathy goes to each of the families.

[ShavedLebaneseBear]

Like some here, I am a Paltalk lurker who rarely mics up or even types anything. I did not know them, but I grieve for their families and friends. This kind of thing is so fucked up, it just breaks your heart...

An act of supreme selfishness.

If I can't have you, noboday can...

not your friends, your family, your future husband, children, grandchildren, any and all of the people your life would have touched, etc... etc...

Because it all revolved around Y-O-U. Because your stupidass pride would not permit you to accept the word NO. Because at 28 years old you still had the intellect of a child.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but this type of attitude makes me so furious that I can barely contain myself.

I lost one of my best friends in this same manner... to a selfish coward who wasn't mature enough to understand that people are not posessions, and who wasn't man enough to face the consequences of his shamefull act and so too took the cowards way out.

[ragethedaise]

I just signed up here tonight to offer my condolences to both families. Someone close to me was a friend of Brandi's an I just feel horrible that anyone has to go through such a thing. The world lost one of it's brightest lights.

[Premarital Sex]

what the fuck...:icon_mad:

[batgoat]

I'm sorry to all involved. I hate to see what a senseless tragedy can do to such a great community of people. Heartfelt condolences

[Boogotshot69]

Sorry to hear about this. I didn't really know Brand but I have had friends of mine taken like this in the past. My condolences and prayers to Brand's family and all of those who knew and loved her.

I know this was awhile ago but I was a close friend of both Bobby & Brand and it was a real tough loss for alot of us, I sure Miss them and I miss Rich (The Solipsist) more then words can express

[phishermaneo]

Just found out about this thread today. I knew Bob for 7 years and worked with him every day on the boat. Way back in the day, I was the one that turned him on to O&A and passed along the SBlueman feed. He was a very close friend for a long time and the tragedy was truly a shock to all that knew him. I spent 10+ hours a day with Bob, more time than any of his family or friends, and I never would have thought he was capable of something so extreme. I had even gone to the range to shoot his new pistol with him just before this happened. This is just an unexpected and tragically ufortunate situation. My thoughts and prayers are with the familys of both victims.

RIP Bobby
