Over the years, many people have walked into my life. Most stayed only a little while and quietly left. Some remained longer and I became a better person for having known them. Brianna, when you walked into my life you moved my soul to dance. You awakened in me a new understanding with the passing whisper of your wisdom. You captivated me with your resonating light and you made the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. You left footprints on my heart and my life has never, ever, been the same.

Thinking of you and your family these days
Love, Denis
September 23, 2021
A bright sunrise will contradict
The heavy fog that weighs me down
I'm looking for you in vain
And whispering your name
As if sorrow were my friend
And this world so alien
But Life will call with daffodils
And morning glorious blue skies
I'll think of you from memory
And softly smile to my surprise

My Treasure
I remember your smile
I miss the gaiety in your laughter
All with the touch of simple joy
Pure love for the good that life offered
You cherished every given moment
Showed me what living was all about
Always thinking of sharing and giving
Sweet girl with the golden heart
I remember, will always remember
And treasure the gift of you forever.
I miss you. I love you. I thank God for you.

Thinking of you seven years later
January 8, 2020
I cried and I cried and I cried as I read your beautiful friend Caylas message, as I did when I read Nancy's. I recalled those days you were all in school together -- young and full of promise. How precious and enriching and empowering is the love that friendship brings to our lives! How precious true friends are! Love still remains even after one is gone, they say -- and I add that it cannot help but enhance life as I continue my journey in this troubled world. You loved truly and were truly loved and that thought gives me such solace that is hard to explain. Yes, you would have been 28 and I smile as I wonder how old you are in Gods Heavens years. God bless your friends and may they always find love in their lives until the very end! I thank God for friendship and love and hope and the peace they bring to my soul. I pray that where you are is the place where only love and goodness exist. I love you and hold you close to my heart always.

Today marks the day your beautiful soul graced the earth. You would have been 28 years old today. I can honestly say I've never made another friend like you. Sandbox days with you where the best days of my life. I wish I could quit adulting and binge watch invader zim and make comics together like we used to. Even though we grew apart going into high school, I still always valued your friendship. I'll never forget the day we ran into each other at Broward mall after not seeing each other for years. It was like a scene out of a movie, we literally dropped everything in our hands and ran full speed at each other and hugged. Everyone around us was so confused but we didn't care. If I had known at the time that would be the last time I got to see you, I would have held on a little longer. Promise me you'll great me the same way when we meet again. I love you for ever and always BB.

Brianna will continue to live in our hearts because she loved and we love(d) her in return. They say that in the end it is really only love that remains. To have proof of the existence of that from family and friends who continue to keep her memory alive through their kind words and actions is truly incredible and uplifting. Thank you, God, for faith and the love and goodness and kindness that we receive and can share with others. Because of these, I have become a stronger and better believer and lover of humankind. I miss her so much!

A week ago, I went to an event where I saw a lot of people from middle and high school and couldn't help but feel like you would have enjoyed going to music festivals with friends, so I thought of you. Hopefully you're in peace and enjoying some good tunes where you are. Your friends and family miss you <3

May your dreams bring you peace in the darkness.
May you always rise over the rain.
May the light from above always lead you to love.
May you stay in the arms of the angels.
Love always

Words and other beautiful expressions of love all bring a soothing calmness to the hearts of those who love and still remember you. The tears still come as the pain is still very real but I can smile through it today. Love is good. God is love. God be with us all! Rest in peace, my dear Bri.

I felt the love in the message of your beautiful friend Amanda and my tears of relief were tinged with some sadness and joy as I recalled you both during your young and carefree days -- two lovely girls full of life and daring, going about blissfully planning your next adventures together. I treasure the love that you shared. I pray that Amanda and all your dear friends at this stage in their lives are on their way to fulfilling their dreams and aspirations, if they havent already. I am sure that it is also what you wish for them. Your friends were Gods gifts to you to make life feel kinder when it seemed to be getting less so, as they gave you the courage and support you needed and filled in my lack for being not American, which you keenly observed and stated at times -- always showing understanding though. I wish them all that I wished for you when you were here with us as my mind brings me back to those times shared with them, brief though they may be. I am sure you will be very happy to know that they still care and think of you. I thank all of them here and wish them love this Christmas season. -- D. Lawn

I just wanted to stop by and wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. So many of us are still thinking of you. I was looking through and saw the picture of us by a Christmas tree from middle school. I didn't even know that existed, but I'm going to print it out and keep it close. I hope your mom knows that if she needs anything at all she can reach out. She was always so kind to me. We miss ya little lady. Rest well. <3
December 16, 2018
Thank you for your friends who still love you and remember all the good as I do. There was so much that was good in you and a whole lot of love in your heart for your friends, many of whom loved you back. My hope is that you are at peace and have found the joy and comfort with the God who created us and loved us first. I will always have tears that no one will ever see. The love expressed by your friends and remembrances of you and prayers comfort me. Be at peace, gentle child of God. - Mom

It's been years since you passed, and I still think about you. We were best friends in middle school, always hanging out with each other in our little trio. I can't help but think what you'd be doing now as we enter our late 20s, and the fun stories you'd have. I hope you're good wherever you are and that your family is finding comfort.

Everyone dies alone. But if you meant something to someone, if you helped someone or loved someone, if even a single person remembers you, then maybe you never really die at all. Brianna, I will remember you FOREVER.

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?

May all the loving thoughts, remembrances, and prayers of those who cared and still care for you reach you and bring you peace and joy. This thought gives me some comfort despite knowing the pain lingers and will always be felt, more so at certain times. Rest in God's embrace and remember the love we have for you.

Now three years have come and gone away
But I'm still hurting
Like it's yesterday
Just wanted to let you know
How much I still miss you so
And I will until the day I die
It isn't that I can't let you go
I just don't know how to say goodbye.
Seriously missing you, Brianna

They say that time is the overseer of all things. They say that time mends a broken heart and heals all wounds. But I really don't know what they mean because I continue to think of you every day, I miss you more then you'll ever know, and I will love you forever.

Wish we could've been two old ladies in our 80's watching each others grandchildren and talking about funny stories of the past. I wish that was our future together. It's not and adapting to that ain't easy. Something still tells me that you'll be there in spirit. Happy birthday Bri
This is how I want to remember you
January 7, 2015
Naming You Brianna
We gave you a name which meant brave
Not knowing I'd wish it to prove true
That day I was told I may not be here long enough
To watch over and take care of you
You were feisty all right and quite daring
And easily made friends when you started school
You were bright, mischievous, sweet, and caring
And I thought, "Well, isn't she really cool!"
Teaching you not to be afraid, saying,
"It's good to know when and how to fight."
You said you were both brave and beautiful
And I said, "Well, my child, you are so right!"
When paths to healing began to show
As God had other plans it seemed
Given the chance to watch you grow
Was much more than I had dreamed
Forgive me for our lives' lack of ease
As we tried to survive those bumps and those dives
We've both grown -- now you're a woman, Child
Who, to me, will always be -- my brave, my beautiful Bri!
From your Mom
A time to be gentle
