We were so sad to hear of Mr. Brandt's passing! May he and his entire family find peace in this difficult time! I felt the need to share a funny story that reminds me of the fun that we (Lisa, myself, and my sister Nicole) had growing up neighbors. It was a Fall day and we were 12,11,and 10 respectively. Mr. Brandt had just sat down to his lunch, a bowl of piping hot tomato soup. We enter the kitchen area bouncing a ball (rubber dodgeball style). He peaks up over his soup to say "No bouncing the ball in the house". Well, I failed to hear that and accidentally gave the ball one more fateful bounce. The ball proceeds to bounce once on the floor and then land perfectly in his soup. To be honest I can't remember the ending, but it is ironic how those words now come out of my mouth to my kids. So Mr. Brandt your memory lives on in my household as the true reason why not to bounce a ball in the house :). Rest in peace!
