    Brandon LeMaire’s Benefit for Angela’s House

    Brian and Christine LeMaire experienced the tragic loss of their son Brandon this past fall. Shortly after he passed away they decided to work on a fund raiser for Angela’s House so that they could help other families. Angela’s House was the non profit agency that had worked to assist the family in caring for their medically frail son at home. The fund raiser was on March 1st at the Nutty Irishman in Bay Shore. Over 400 people attended the event which hosted a live band, raffles and food. The turn out was amazing. Bob Policastro the executive director of Angela’s House said the event was spiritual. It was amazing how Christine and Brian LeMaire gave of themselves to help other parents at such a difficult times in their lives. The true blessing was that in the goodness of their hearts to give back to others they in return received the love of the 400 plus people that attended this event to support them and their precious son Brandon. It is very difficult to lose a child or know what to say as parent live through such a tragic situation. This gather allowed friend and family the opportunity to share there support during this difficult time.
    The LeMaire Family would like to express their gratitude to all of our family, friends and colleagues who have helped to make this event possible

    Its’ become our goal to provide the financial and emotional support to those in need, knowing how fortunate we were to receive these things from all of you.

    As we’ve said many times before Brandon, while only here with us for 19 months, has taught us more in thaty time than we could ever have hoped to learn in a lifetime.

    Thank you
    The Lemaire Family

    Precious Little Angel Baby

    Precious Little Angel Baby

    Brian LeMaire
    You were our Precious little angel baby
    Who was sent from above
    You taught so many so much
    Especially how to love
    You never made it to Disney
    Or all thoses special things
    But now you can go anywhere
    You have your angel wings
    You can now run, laugh and eat
    All the things a child can do
    There are so many in heaven
    To watch and take good care of you
    You were the strongest and bravest little fighter
    Lives you will continue to touch
    My precious little angel baby just remember
    We will miss you and love you oh so much
    We will always love you Booty-Bots,
    Daddy and Mommy

It took all of October and some of November to complete it. Our neighbors think we’re insane but love that we do all this. Chris is inspired by all the Christmas decorators out there, we know what its like to go Christmas house hunting and we love to look at everybody’s ideas and setup of all the decorations. Chris takes some of their ideas and makes them his own. He gets so much enjoyment out of it and his goal is “making everyone happy”. We hope you’ll come and drive by and take a look and drop off a donation in our donation box. Happy Holidays!
