When I come to the end of the road,And the sun has set for me,Remember,I'm free of a heavy load.Don't cry for a soul free.Miss me a little-but not too long,And not with your head bowed low,Remember the love we all shared,Miss me-but let me go.This is a journey we all have to take,And each must go alone,It's just a part of our Master's plan,A step on the road home.When you're lonely and sick at heart,Go to the friends we know,And bury your sorrows in doing The Lord's work,Miss me-but let me go.In Loving Memory Of Brittany Rapoza,we miss and love you.God bless everyone.

Brittany,
You always had a smile that would brighten any room.Always willing to lend a helping hand to whomever may be in need.You had a child like innocense that could encourage anyone how to be happy.You will be greatly missed.Rest in peace.

My Dearest Brittany,
Our hearts are in such great sorrow for your lost.Our love and prayers goes out to Alvin Rapoza and family.Know words can truly express the sorrow we feel for your lost of such a beautiful and caring young woman.Brittany you will always have a special place in our heart,and we will always have the special memories of you that will always remain forever in our hearts.You will be truly missed by Chris and I forever.I know that you are in heaven with our loving Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.May the Lord give comfort,peace,and strength to the Rapoza family at this time of there lost of Brittany.Here is a beautiful poem for all of the Rapoza family and friends.God bless and always keep you safe in His loving embrace.
He is the Lord;let him do what is good in his eyes(1 Samuel 3:18)
"Give me a new idea,"I said,
While thinking on a sleepless bed;
"A new idea that'll bring to earth
A balm for souls of priceless worth;
That'll give men thoughts of things above,
And teach them how to serve and love,
That'll banish every selfish thought,
And rid men of the sins they've fought."
The new thought came,just how,I'll tell:
"Twas when on bended knee I fell,
And sought from HIM who knows full well
The way our sorrow to expel.
SEE GOD IN ALL THINGS,great and small,
And give HIM praise whate'er befall
In life or death,in pain or woe,
See God,and overcome your foe.
I saw HIM in the morning light,
HE made the day shine clear and bright;
I saw HIM in the noontide hour,
And gained from HIM refreshing shower.
At evening,when worn and sad,
HE gave me help,and made me glad.
At midnight,when on tossing bed
My weary soul to sleep HE led.
I saw HIM when great losses came,
And found HE loved me just the same.
When heavy loads I had to bear,
I found HE lightened every care.
By sickness,sorrow,sore distress,
HE calmed my mind and gave me rest.
HE'S filled my heart with joyous praise
Since I gave HIM the upward gaze.
"Twas new to me,yet old to some,
This thought that to me has become
A revelation of the way
We all should live throughout the day;
For as each day unfolds its light,
We'll walk by faith and not by sight.
Life will,indeed,a blessing bring,
IF WE SEE GOD IN EVERTHING.
We love you Brittany may the peace of Our Loving Lord be with you and your family.
Chris and Lisa Hall

Brittney you were such a sweet loving girl, and you just adored my little baby girl Lily who was about 6 months old when I met you. She is now almost two and a big hand full. I know you are in Heaven now and at such peace and I pray that God will give your family and firends the strength they need to make it through these trying times. Stay close to your Dad Alvin for I know he must be hurting in a way that no one knows...let him know you are ok now and that you are watching over him. Bless you so much and may your journey in Heaven be so beautiful!!

Go rest high on that mountain, Brittany. Your work on earth is done. Praying that the good LORD will comfort and hold close all those who loved Brittany so, as they endure this most sorrowful of times. Brittany rests with Jesus now and you will see her again one bright and beautiful day. For now, she will forever live in your hearts. Like my grandma and daddy said, "Don't say goodbye, just say so long." Til' your loved one's meet you at those Pearly Gates, rests in eternal peace, Brittany.
