Still thinking of you often Bree. I still have the glass drop you gave me and it is attached to my purse right now and has been everyday since you left us. Much love.

It's not likely Bree would have remembered me, but 2nd grade at Lansing Elementary we were in the same class. She was only at Lansing for one year I think. Memories that long ago are like trying to remember a vivid dream. Her desk was in front of mine for awhile anyway. We talked about morning cartoons that kids would watch before hopping on the bus. George of the Jungle we talked about once. She got off the bus at a house off of Ridge Road in Lansing. Then I never saw her again after that. I´d wonder occasionally how she ended up doing and what happened with her. Then fast forward to 2008. I´m reading online Ithaca news, and I see her. Years have passed since, but she´s an empty hole for a lot of people. What sort of really struck me with this was, I was also struck by a vehicle in the wee hours of the morning in my teenage years. I won´t get into details. But I had a miraculous recovery and beat all odds. I could have easily been in Bree´s situation though. She made me realize how lucky I was. Well anyway, it´s been a long time since, but I just thought I´d share on here. Bree you´re not forgotten, even with those who didn´t know you well.

I think of you often, Bree! I love you and miss you dearly. I certainly think of you every time a Paul Simon song from the album Graceland comes on, or any Joni song from the Blue album. They bring me back to very specific memories with you. You were such a special person and friend. You were so funny and so talented. I miss you.

My deepest condolences go out to Bree's family, as well as all those who were close to her. Bree was an intelligent, thoughtful young woman and will be sorely missed. In the brief time she spent with us, she revealed herself to be a truly unique individual who would go to great lengths for those that she cared for. Love you Bree, rest in peace my friend.

Life is surreal in moments like this. I would like to send my regards to my family and to all of the people who Bree shared her life with. It's unfair that we all lost a cousin, daughter, friend, girlfriend, sister, and a beautiful spirit. I have spent many memories with her, and I will hold them close to my heart forever.
I don't know what else to say other than I love Bree and I love my family. Stay close to eachother, take care of eachother.

Corrine, Uncle Ronnie and Holly;
Our family has lost a beautiful,kind and carring person. I will always remember our sundays together when we were little. Either ice skating at Case Park or sledding down Rice Hill having hot coco at Barry's Resturant after our fathers thought it would be a good Idea for the 4 of us Bree, Corrine, katie and I to be in the same sled down the icey hill then a quarter down the hill our sled went sideways I think we were all scraped up from that. Bree was too young and will be forever missed but I can say I have some wonderful memories that can't be taken away and that is what makes me smile through all of this.
Corrine, Uncle Ronnie and Holly you guys are such strong people, and I admire that in all of you! Know that you are loved by many and are in everybody's thoughts right now. Know that you can call on me for anything!
