    i wrote 2 songs for him this is 1 of them called i miss you:
    Someone Loved Dearly Must Not Perish
    Someone Loved Dearly Is In My Heart
    But The Thought Of Your Death And What Happened. It Really Tore Me Apart..

    Your Smile Made My Day,
    Your Sweet Loving Soul,
    Chased Away Winter
    And Made My Heart Whole
    The Only Thing Missing Was A Piece
    Of My Heart When You Went..

    Your Heart Is Gold, Your Face Is Pale,
    The One That Misses You A lot Is Me,
    Well I’ll See You In Heaven,
    Till Then I’ll Love You Endlessly ..

    Why? Oh Why? What Made You Do This
    To Yourself? You Knew It Was Wrong And Far From Right. But Sadness Is The Feeling When You’re Out Of Sight…

    I Miss You , I Pray You’re Happy In Heaven,
    I Know I’ll See You Soon
    And When I Do..
    I’ll Refrain From Being Blue

    I didn't know that Jonathan Brandis had passed from Suicide back in November 12, 2003.
    He is/was one of my favorite Actors when I was younger.
    I just learned of this while searching over Actors for my favorites. I have a lot of them.

    I hope that is family knows I feel the lost of Jonathan.
