BRANDI HARRIS Obituary

Brandi Michelle Romero Harris 1983 ~ 2011 Our cherished daughter, sister, wife, and mother, Brandi Michelle Romero Harris, was taken back to her heavenly home after a life-long struggle with her health, on April 19, 2011 to join her beloved grandfather in a jubilant reunion on the other side.Brandi made the perfect little Mother's Day package on May 8, 1983 in Salt Lake City, Utah for her parents, Shelley Denos Romero and Rory Romero. She graduated from West Jordan High School and married her sweetheart, Christian Harris on August 9, 2002, to whom she was sealed for all time and eternity in the Manti Temple. Brandi gave birth to the joys of her life, her two miracle babies, Morgan and Samantha. Her family was always the center of her life. Brandi touched the hearts and lives of everyone she came into contact with. Our little ray of sunshine had a big beautiful smile and a unique way of connecting with everyone on a personal level. Loving, generous and always thinking of others, Brandi often gave gifts for no reason other than that she loved you. She had a special closeness with her mom, sisters and brothers, and loved laughing and spending time with them as they were all best friends. We will never forget her beautiful voice and the times she sang at weddings and other special occasions. Her love of books and music was passed on to her two little daughters by reading, writing and singing with them daily. We can all imagine Brandi singing in the heavenly choirs with her grandfather, dancing, and visiting to her heart's content. Even though we feel her presence comforting us and reaching out to us as she has always done, we love and miss her with all our hearts- beyond what words can express. She is preceded in death by her kindred spirit and grandfather, George Denos, uncle, Jon Romero, and cousin, Cody Jensen. She is survived by her husband, Christian, daughters, Morgan and Samantha, mother, Shelley (Clint), father, Rory (Marilee), brothers and sisters, Jason (Kristen), Chantelle (Michael), Joey (Crystal), Rachelle, Jared (Amanda), Tony (Jeni), Ryan, Chelsea, and Courtney, grandmothers, Marian and Marietta, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and friends. Special heartfelt thanks to Misty and the other caring, compassionate nurses at IMC ICU. Funeral services will be held Wed, April 27, 2011 at 11a.m. with interment following at Larkin Sunset Gardens 1950 E 10600 S, Sandy, Utah. A viewing will be held Tues, April 26, 2011 from 6-8 p.m. and one hour prior to services. A memorial fund in the name of Brandi Romero Harris has been established at Mountain America CU for the benefit of her children. Sleep peacefully little "Vicky" and we will join you one by one in our heavenly home someday.

I am so heartbroken to hear about the loss of Brandi. She was such a strong, smart, funny, and wonderful woman. She was one of a kind!! She brought laughter to everyone who knew her, she was very loyal, and always stood up for what she believed in.

I was so very lucky to have her as a very dear friend for most of my life. She will be very sorely missed! I will always remember her huge smile and all of the fun we had growing up together!

My thoughts and prayers are with Brandi and her family. May the happy memories of Brandi bring you comfort.

Rory, Shelly and Family
So sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful daughter, sister, wife, and mother. We met Brandi about 5 years ago at a barbeque at Jerome and Lisa's. She was so warm and welcoming, it is easy to see how so many people loved her so much. She was so friendly for not knowing us. She had a radiant smile and one who instantly warmed the room. God bless all of you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
Love your cousins, Tony and Jackie Romero (Fresquez)

I don't know how to express my love and admiration for you. You were always smiling inspite of all your pain,you inspired me to try and combat my illness. I would feel like with my seizures that i couldn't do certain things,but you showed me through your strength and determination that I could persevere.I loved your sense of humor and smile. I loved how even when you were sick you still wanted to help others.I know in my life if I ever feel overwhelmed,beaten or not able to go on I can look at your picture and think of you and be happy,you encompass everything that is good and wonderful.God bless you Christian and the girls as well as you Shelley. Remember we will always be here for you. Love Uncle Kevin & Aunt Clara

I count it as one of life's choicest blessings to have had the opportunity to have Brandi in my life. In the midst of her own extraordinary health issues, she always exemplified kindness, concern, and thoughtfulness. Brandi was truly one of those remarkable people who, because of their example, you want to be a better person.
I love you, Brandi.

Brandi you were truly an inspiration to everyone that knew you. I will always remember your beautiful smile & amazing laugh. You brightened up the room as soon as you entered it and if there was someone who didn’t know you before hand by the time they left you they felt as if you were their long lost best friend. My heart & prayers go out to all your family & friends especially your beautiful little girls, adoring husband, and mom. May God bless & comfort them always and may we all feel a sense of peace knowing you are reunited with your loving grandfather once again.
With all our love

We will miss you Brandi, as your loss is too significant for words. I both rejoice for the life and beauty you brought to the world, and mourn that we had to say goodbye so soon. I feel so fortunate to have spent time with you at our grandfather's funeral--hugging and singing with you made such a difficult moment easier. You have a special place in my heart, sweet girl. My thoughts, love and prayers are with Brandi's husband and children.

Words cannot express the sorrow our hearts feel in your absence. Since I moved away to college I wasn't around as much as I would have liked to, but the times we were able to sit and talk were well worth the waits. Absolutely we will miss you, but never will we forget the kind of person you were and the impact your presence had on lives. Be happy now with Jesus and the Father.

Brandi,
You lived life with love and charity in spite and maybe even because of your suffering. Yours is an act that will be hard to follow. Our hearts are heavy and we don't really know what to do with the hole that is left where your magnificence once stood. We will not soon forget the contribution you have made to our lives. Please forgive us for not really understanding your trials. I look forward to singing with you again some day in the heavenly choirs. I love you and I am going to miss you very much!

Our kids will grow up together like we did and have a close bond. We love you so much and miss you dearly, RIP

A beautiful tribute befitting a beautiful angel, Brandi will be so missed as her presence filled the room and there was never a conversation you had with her that you did not finish feeling like, that woman is so compassionate, and so intelligent, and so DANG fun! I remember many times your concern for others even with you having all you could take with your own illness, you absolutely inspired me to never take any thing for granted and that if you could always keep your amazing spirit and attitude with what you been dealt then how could I ever complain about my trivial trials. I love you, I will miss you and I know that your Grandpa and Cody were so happy to see you, as we mourn loosing you, that gives me a lot of comfort. All my love to your sweet angels you have here and your husband and to you Shelly as I know that pain is deep and the journey is long to learn to live for a time without one of your children..... Love Aunt Sandy

Words cannot express how much life will change without you in our lives Brandi and how hard it will be for us to continue on. Your babies will always remember you and I will try my best to do you justice in their eyes. I can't wait to join you when my time is done where the limitations of this mortal existence will never be a problem again.
Forever yours, your husband, lover, and friend,
Chrischin

Although these words are absolutely beautiful they just can't express how wonderful this person is/was because words can't. The true definition of love, caring and selflessness this woman is amazing. I think of you often Brandi & my heart breaks each time I do. I wish, just like everyone else, for more time. But God has a plan for you and although this last year has been so very hard, I've never been more sure of anything else in my life. I love you.
