Hello Stacey & Family:

I want to say I am so sorry for all of the pain in your hearts of losing your Beautiful Brittany.It is the most difficult and devastating pain and challenge we will ever face & know, as Mom's & Family. Brittany is such a beautiful girl and I love her smile. My heart, love and prayers are with you all.
On Oct 23rd 2008, I too lost my oldest Beautiful Boy Nicholas James Devine (25). That was the day my life changed forever, and the day it seemed like my life had ended too. It has been just a little over two years now, and I have hope of making it today, and I don't feel like I am dieing of a painful slow death anymore. I have faith that my son Nicholas IS SAFE in the loving arms of our heavenly Father, and I believe with all my heart Brittany is there too. I have found peace in knowing I will see him when "The Chain Will Link Again".I pray you too can find that peace Stacey. Today I can rejoice and celebrate Nick's LIFE all 25 years of it.Today I have a Thankful heart for Knowing and Loving such a beautiful human being. I am honored to call Nicholas my son, and thank God for allowing me the pleasure of being his Momma. I wish for you Peaceful days and Gentle nights.I know how proud you are to be Brittany's moma too. May you always know you are not alone as long as there is another parent who has also experienced our sorrow.Sadly, we know there is, but gratefully we do not walk alone, Amen.Stacey, try to remember H.A.L.T. Not to get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. Please try to take care of yourself, you are loved.
Blessings Tina~(pos)

TO MY BABY COUSIN BRIT!!
A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
......A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that you’re not in my heart and my soul.

Love you Brit. You were an exceptional young woman who touched the lives of so many people in so many ways. I miss you so much and wish I had kept in touch with you more. I am very proud of the woman you came to be...even in death you are helping others. Karl is right you will live on in our hearts forever. You will live on in those who received your organs. Love you sweet girl.

Stacey, Ashley and Grandma Sue; while I never met Brittany I already know that she was a beautiful and special person who touched so many lives in a positive way. I know you miss her deeply but always remember that Brittany will live on in your hearts forever.

To my friend Stacey and her dear family, I send you my deepest condolences. I know how hard it is to loose a family member, but couldn't imagine your pain of loosing a child. This wasa very classy, well written obituary. Brittany truly is a special Angel in heaven.... God bless you and your family! Lots of love....The McLaurin family
