Brandenburg, Isaac M.
Saturday, November 28, 2009
Isaac Marshall Brandenburg, age 6, of Chester, VA, went to be with our Lord after a courageous battle. Isaac was born in Chesterfield, VA, and is the son of Paul C. and Sheila H. Brandenburg. He was a loving and happy child, and could steal your heart in a minute with his unique personality. Isaac is also survived by his brothers, Hudson, Dylan, and Zachary; grandfather, Dorsey Howard, and wife, Deborah of Chester; grandmother, Diane R. Howard of Monroe, VA; aunts, Lynn Eggleton of Chesterfield, VA, and Michelle Hough of Prince George, VA; and several cousins. The family will receive friends at the Chester chapel of J. T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 from 7 to 8 p.m. Graveside funeral services will follow on Wednesday at 11 a.m. in the Merchants Hope Memorial Gardens, Rt. 10 East of Hopewell, Prince George, VA. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of the Chippenham Medical Center PICU. In lieu of flowers, the family would like memorial contributions made to Noah’s Children (a hospice ministry for disabled children and their parents) at 5855 Bremo Rd. Suite 409 Richmond, VA 23226. Condolences to the family may be registered at www.jtmorriss.com
To the Parents of Isaac,
There is no words that can be said when a child has gone home. As a parent of a special needs child that died 13 years ago, I know what you are going through at this time.
Know that your angel lives still in your hearts and spirit. He is never far away from your thoughts. It sounds like you were like me that was constantly active with your son. As your life slows down refect back on the blessings that God has shown you over the six years and even into this storm. Knew that the Lord is still there and has not dropped you even if it feels like that.
Put your hands into the hands of Jesus and hold on tight because you have just begun to live in the hands of Jesus. He is your strength. When life seems to be on the rainy side Jesus will make the sun shine in your hearts. There is a rainbow through your sorrow.
If you should like to talk please give me a call. my number is 757-549-4119.
God Bless you in your time of sorrow.
In Jesus always,
Anne Harrell
Sheila, Paul, Hudson, Dylan - I am so sorry for your loss. No words of mine can bring you comfort but I wanted to say how profoundly sorry I am for the loss of your precious son. I know Isaac is in a better place, pain-free and whole again, but I cannot imagine how your heart must ache. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. April, Chris, Emma, Alex, and Dylan
To everyone who prayed for Isaac and our family during the past 6 years - thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We love him and will miss him until we get to be with him again. He always brought our family together - he always brought out the very best in all of us. We would do anything we could to make him smile and make sure he was happy and had everything he needed. He was, and is still, an angel. We know how lucky we are to have had him for this long. We wish it could have been 100 more years, but even that would not have been enough. We know that he is in heaven now, and we hope he is running and playing and talking up a storm. We can't wait to be with him again so he can tell us all about it.
Thank you to Dad, Debby and Mom who took turns with us sitting by his bedside at the hospital so he would always have a family member close by. That gives us some solace to know that he was constantly surrounded by people that love him. Thank you to Mom who cooked and cleaned and kept things running back home. I know how much laundry and dishes that was - and how bad the bathroom can get. Thank you Lynn for helping with the boys, and for holding my hand on the worst night of my life and helping me get through it. Thank you Michelle for checking on me everyday and keeping everyone informed when I couldn't do it. Thank you to our family and friends who prayed so hard and asked others to pray. The chain spread all over America and across the ocean to other countries - absolutely unimaginable to me. Thank you to the doctors and nurses and respiratory technicians at Chippenham Hospital. You all took care of Isaac as if he were your own child - and you took care of all of us as well. Thank you for the "big girl" coffee at 2 a.m. Thank you for decorating his room for his birthday. Thank you for sharing your stories and your food and just doing everything in your power to keep Isaac here. Thank you for putting up with us bugging you all the time about every beep! We love you all. It was one heck of a tug of war between the angels in heaven, and all of us back here on earth over him.
We will miss you every day Isaac. We love you. Thank you for coming down here and making us better people so we can all be together again in heaven one day. You are the best incentive in the world.
Love,
Mom and Dad, Dylan and Hudson
Finding words of comfort is quite difficult during times of loss, however, I truly believe that if you hold tighly to your strong beliefs in the promises made by God, that He will help you carry your pain. This is a tragic loss but what a wonderful part of this world Isaac has been for six years. I only knew Isaac for a brief period of time, but I have gotten to know you, Sheila, and you are without a doubt one of the most loving mothers and inspirational people that I have come to know. My prayers to you and Paul and to all of your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I do not know your family, but a friend from work has been keeping us updated and we have been praying, and will continue to lift you up in our prayers.
"God is ever near to those
Who have a broken heart
Through the loss of someone dear
That tears your world apart
It seems so overwhelming
The grief too much to bear
But know that God is with you
He loves you and He cares"
-M.S.Lowndes
With Deepest Sympathy,

I would like to send my condolences to a great family. Isaac's been through so much in his 6 years and knowing that he had a supporting mother and family right next to him is such a wonderful feeling. He will always be loved and missed. There are no words to describe how we feel but we have to understand he's in a better place and he's not in pain anymore. Isaac will always have a special place in our hearts and he has touched my heart in so many ways. God sent him down for a reason and he taught all of us things we didn't know. Thank you Isaac, We will always love you. This family will be kept in our prayers. I know it must be really hard but he's in a better place with all the little angels now.
Much condolences to Sheila,Paul,Hudson,and family
~~Love Always Laura Amaya and Family~~
There is not a thing i can do or say to make this better for you. Know that the good Lord must have been running low on angels and needed yours. Isaac is in a wonderful place and is free. He will forever watch over you and your family and will forever be in your and our hearts. Take comfort in God and his plan for each of us. If there is anything we can do please do not hesitate to ask.
Love and praying for you,
Jennifer and Randall Cox
As members of your extended family here in Kansas, we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of great sorrow. Our words may be inadequate to express the feelings behind them. Please know that we are praying for you and your families in this hour of grief.
Dave and Sandy Felter and our entire family
Overland Park, KS
There aren't any words i can say that would comfort how you are feeling. Please let me know if we can do anything. Isaac was a gift from God and knowing that he is in heaven walking and talking with Jesus will hopefully bring some comfort. God knows what you are going through.. We are praying for you and your family through this time.
Terri, Shelton, Blake and Taylor
I do not have the words - I don't think there are any - to convey to you how I feel. Everything that I come up with just doesn't seem enough. Our sincerest hope is that you are able to find comfort in the gifts that Isaac delivered to you - straight from Heaven - and that you draw the strength that you will need from each other through shared memories and love. Isaac only knew the truest, purest form of love. For all the gifts that he brought you, that's what he carried back with him...and you all gave that to him. Find peace in that.
With our most heartfelt condolences to your family,
Anna, Jake, Libby and Tyler
Our family extends our deepest sympathy to all of Isaac's family. We have never experienced the loss of one so young as Isaac, but I can only imagine the sorrow you now experience. The good news is that he is now whole and well in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you Shalom during this time of grief. We will keep you in our prayers.
I don't know you or your son But I'd like to send my condolences to you anyways. Im just sorry to hear of your son's passing. It broke my heart when I read the obituary. No parent should ever lose a child . Please know that God needed him for a reason. We don't know what that reason is but we will know oneday ourselves. I lost a sister in 2002, so I know the pain and hurt one feels. Again, Im so sorry and may God bless you and comfort all of you. My sister's name is Cindy and I know that she will watch over your son and love him until you get to Heaven. God Bless all of you and I will keep you all in my prayers.
