We've lost one of our friends - The Unofficial Opie and Anthony Message Board

LAX · 08-20-2006, 10:07 PM

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:

Quote:

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.

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

MOD EDIT: ANYONE DOING ANYTHING BUT GIVING CONDOLENCES WILL BE PERMA BANNED.

I am really saddened and in total shock about this.
My condolances to Brand's family and all of her friends in our community.

***zagman76*** · 08-20-2006, 10:15 PM

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

JAndrea95 · 08-20-2006, 10:18 PM

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

**DoughBoy** · 08-20-2006, 10:18 PM

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.

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

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.

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

Quote:

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

Stalker Patti · 08-21-2006, 12:18 AM

Sad and senseless; my condolences go out.

mikepop · 08-21-2006, 12:25 AM

Sad.

**roche** · 08-21-2006, 12:28 AM

I didn't know her, but that is horribile.

Miss Abooty · 08-21-2006, 12:29 AM

My condolences to the victims, their families, and to all who have lost a friend/friends today
