Brandy Kathleen Castaneda

Brandy Helbock Castaneda is loved by a great many of family and friends. She is a very loving, caring, beautiful person with a huge heart and big smile. Brandy would do anything for anyone and talked to everybody. She had so much love to give. Brandy also had many personal battles. She had MS, diabetes and mental illness. She has always been a strong fighter, especially the last 8 years.

Family and friends ask all of you to do a few things in her honor,

• Never stop caring, sharing, and smiling

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help of any kind

• Make a donation for her children. * Details can be found at Bank of America, routing #081000032, account #355007125691.

• Make a donation or volunteer your time to any charity or organization: shelters,

MS, diabetes, any mental health service, or any of your choice.

• Any helpful and kind act for someone else would be appreciated, and is the best way to honor Brandy. It would make her proud and honor who she was.

Family and friends ask that you pray and keep Brandy in your thoughts. Her loved ones will also need them as well. We will never give up searching and fighting to bring justice for her. Please maintain respect for the privacy of family and friends, as it is needed during this difficult time.

There will be a public vigil announced at a later date. These are three places near and dear to Brandy’s heart:
