Brookelyn Dritschel Obituary

Dritschel, Brookelyn
Renee
Cumming, GA.: Passed away on August 20th at 1:20 pm.As she wished in the comfort of her own bed and my embrace.
I held my Sugarbear in her final moments as each of her heartbeats and breaths became softer then the last. Til she took her final breath, then her heart beat no more. Please Sugarbear though you left us behind, take with you on your journey OUR LOVE.
For we shall only see where you yourself choose to rest your body…beside your friend at Sawnee View Gardens.
Cancer took her life away from her just shy of her 18th birthday that she so desperately anticipated. Her parents, brothers and sister as well as her Tator Tot are lost without her. For those of her friends that loved her as she deserved to be loved, sincerest sorrow is felt. From those friends, they send to her so many thoughts and prayers. She left so many of us with unforgettable memories. She made us all laugh in the most unexpected and crazy ways.
Brookelyn because of who you were, so unique, you will forever remain in the most cherished part of all our hearts.
Ingram Funeral Home & Crematory, Cumming, Georgia will be in charge of arrangements.

-we were at wendy's or some fast food place and brookelyn told them she wanted to order a pony. hahaha.
-one day i was in the car with renee and brookelyn and brookelyn grabbed the wheel and was tryin to run us off the road. she was so silly.

Well, I was so sorry to here about Brookelyn. I can't believe she was taken from all of the people that loved her and cared about her at such a young age. The only thing that i can come to is that she must of been so special that god wanted her and that he must have a better purpose for her and better place for her in life. That still doesn't make all of the sadness and hurt go away though. All I keep thinking about are the memories that i have of her. I knew Brookelyn from such a young age. From when she was just a little girl i used to babysit her. I remember when i used to defend her when all of the guys in the complex would pick on her. She would always come and knock on my door and at that moment i knew that meant i had to go and yell at some boy. I liked that i could do that for her. She was like that little sis that i never had. I loved walking down to the beach and get an ice cream with her and the boys. I will always remember those memories and how you just knew when she was in the room cause you would always smile or be laughing with her in the room.

I am really sorry that i never had the chance to at least say my goodbye. So this is my goodbye or better yet see you someday. I do believe that we will someday all meet and share all of our memories together.
My prayers are with you and i think of you always.

Brookelyne There are many things that i wish i could of said to you. the day i found out that you passed away was dreadful. i never knew what it felt to really lose someone until grandpa died but finding out that your cusin died it broke my heart i remeber that time i came out to see all the family and we hung out and i seen these cool slippers that you had they looked like sneaker shoes they were cool and you let me wear them when we went to the store and you had your slippers on and we were slideing across the floor in the store that was one of the best times i had with you and from that day i still have those slippers and i wear them all the time now. I know that we never really talked and spent time together but the time we did share together was so memorable and i cherrished every minute of it
but there is one thing that goes through my head over and over again is not going to see you when i knew you were sick we were all going to come out and then your mom said that you were too sick and that you prob wouldn't want us to see you like that well even though that might of been true i still regret not coming out to see you it hurts me from this day

I love you so much cuz and i know your in a good place looking down on all of us
i pray for you every night that your ok and that your being taken care of i love you and i will never forget you
your the one thing that runs through my mind all the time and the one thing i will never forget

I love you forever and not a day less =[

Brooke, there is nothing I could say that you already dont know. You know you and Renee meant more to me then life its self. Me and you were picked specially by God just so we could meet eachother. We may not have the same mom or dad, but our love will make up for it. You know i was your big lil sis and you were my lil big sis, you were my bed buddy,my friend, and my inspiration. Just know just beacuse you are not with me doesnt mean i dont think about you every second of the day...may you watch over me as i look up to you..

What has happened to you shocked me! I knew about your cancer and couldnt beleive that a young, sweet, hilarious teenager would be strucken with this. I just found out about 3 days ago that you passed andi was completely speechless. I started thinking about when it was our freshman year at central and we would always laugh and talk about our crazy weekends. You are very much missed and loved. My prayers go out to you and your family.

You know, 4th of Julys and New Years will never be the same. I miss this girl more then I have missed anyone in my entire life. I'll never forget the times I had with her. To those of you that don't know Brookelyn, she could have, and would have brightened anyones day. That's who she was.

Renee, I love you and I miss you.
See you soon?

God, keep her happy. She deserves it.

Brookelyn brought so much laughter and love into my life that will never be replaced , I wish i had spent more time with her . I will always cherish the time we did spend together when i had her come work for me at the car wash, we shared alot of laughs,and some funny stories there she always had a beautiful smile on her face and that laugh was one of a kind. Brookelyn will forever be with me in my heart and nothing can ever change that, we will see each other once again and till that time i know she is in great hands with the lord our God.

Happy 18th Birthday Brookelyn! We know you wanted to go clubing but mom and the boys went to a sushi bar in your honor. Alicia and her family had a toast to you. Aunt Tammy wore your ribbon in your honor and brought awarness to others about you.

Brookelyn,
I know that we were never close, and only talked a few times that we knew each other, but I have been in complete shock hearing about your passing. The few things and memories that I know/have of you were always so happy. I can't believe that you're gone, but I know that you are going to be happy, and I know that you will live through the people you touched before you went away. Love you, Brooke.

Hey Brooke,
I know that we haven't talked since 8th grade. I never even knew about the cancer until i found out that you were gone. I wish i could have been one of the ones that were there for you. To be there and comfort you if you needed it. Even though we didn't spend that much time together, i do consider you a dear friend and you will always have a place in my heart. I know that you will be with all of us in spirt and my prays go out to your family. You have gone to a better place, away from this world, Where pain and hurt no longer exists. Thank you for the great memories, like your birthday party in 7th grade or coming over to go swimming or just to hang out. it's those memories that i will keep and cherish for all the days of my life.
Love,
Josh

To you my beautiful little sister Brookelyn, You will always live in my heart forever.
Oh my darling sister,
you are a Rose so delicate and fragrant singing with the Angels of heaven.
Oh my sweet friend,
how I miss your beautiful eyes looking at me, your sad expression and how sweet and strong your heart.
Oh my darling sister,
your are a Rose with soft petals, Oh so beautiful.
Oh my lovely angel,
you are in heaven singing with beautiful birds, I can see you with a bird in your hand running free and finally at peace. Oh how much you loved life and now like a bird you fly in the sky.
Oh my sweet sister,
I miss you down here, You are in a far better place with the angels, with the clouds and being held by the love of God. Oh my love, my darling little sister everytime I see a bird it reminds me of you and when I do my heart knows Finally you have found your home.

I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had in being Brookelyn's nurse on her trip to Destin. Brookelyn and her family touched me with their courage, strength, and even their sense of humor during a difficult time. I will never forget Brookelyn and will cherish the memories I have of her on the beach.
