To Selma and Family;I pray everyday for you and your family I know that there may not be any words to take away your pain, and the way you feel. But i wanted you to know that BriAnna is watching over her family everyday and as much as it hurts you know your little angel is there with you every step of the way.Just remember that god doesn't dish out more than you can handle, everything happens for a reason. Your little girl is never going to be loss or forgotten. God was calling his angel and one day we will see her beautiful face again.God Bless!

On December 8, 1999 God sent an angel so beautiful and divine BriAnna was her name and beauty was her game. Only six years to live what a crying shame. Asthma played with her life Now that she's gone with God with no grief and strife. I hope to see her in the afterlife. Until this day I wish she was here but I know while she's with god she has no fear. This Little angel that God sent to earth did her job abovve and beyond. With a heart full of life and a smille so sweet this little angel was swept off her feet.
To Selma and the family I wish you so much luck in the future and I hope that thenew little baby that Selma is carrying will bring her so much joy and happiness as BriAnna did just because I made this anonymous doesn't mean that you don't know me. But I just want to say that BriAnna will be missed greatly and she will live on with God until the day the angels return to get someone to join BriAnna in the place of Heaven until then always remember she is a child of God and will always remain in the hearts of many I hope the poem above will remind of all the good times the family shred together with BriAnna well that's all for now but i love this family with all my heart and I will continue to pray for this family because you all mean so much to me. I would like to give a special Thank you to Sis. Jamison and Selma for always being there for me when I needed them they are really good people and I wish you luck selma with the new baby!!!
P.S. Live for today because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is promised to anyone Love you bye!

Dear Selma,
Since the day we met I knew we were destined to be friends. I just want you to know that we will all miss BriAnna. Your family will always be considered a part of my family and we all send our deepest sympathies and of course you have our love. Although distance is a factor for us never forget how much you mean to me and know that I am thinking of your family and I am praying for you. I love you.

To Selma and family:
I know I signed the guest book already but I can't stay away from it. It's like if I read the guest book everyday it seems like BriAnna is still here with us, even though she's in heaven. I just want to say that I will stay in touch and that I will try my best to spend time with TaTiana and Dreama beacuse I know that Dreama doesn't understand just quite yet of everything but she knows that she wants her sister and Selma I will try my best to spend some time with you to because I know this is hard on you to but don't forget what I told you: You may have lost a baby but God has won him an Angel to watch over you TaTiana, Dreama and the rest of the family BriAnna will always live on in my heart! I love you guys and most important I loved BriAnna like family but I'll stay in touch Love You see you soon!!!

Selma & Family,
I just want to say you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see all of you and the kids when I was there. I remember her ( smile).
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Continue to hold onto God's unchanging hands. Love you all!

James and family~
I was lucky enough to witness the love that you and your precious daughter shared each time you brought her into the hospital for a visit, or when she was being treated. You both beamed with pride...you, looking at your sweet little girl, and her so proud of her daddy.
I can't find the words to tell you how sad I am for your loss. I can't even imagine...but know that it is her time to reach down to you and give you comfort.
She will always be your little girl, but she has the wisdom and faith beyond her years now that she is with our Lord in heaven.
Loved ones always find a way to come back to you in some way. Your angel will let you know she's okay somehow.
I am here for you and please know you are in my prayers.
With love~

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

When God calls children
to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with
the death of a child
Who does so much to make our world
seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be ‘Goodbye."
So when a child departs,
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children, and
Angels are hard to find.

Matt, Selma, TaTianna, & Dreama;
In the 6 years that we have known and loved BriAnna, our hearts have been brought much joy. How do you eulogigize a child? This is a question that I have no means to answer. God only takes a child when he believes that she has a greater purpose in Heaven. Now, the only thing that we can do is offer our sincere, heartfelt condolences, love , and support to the family as a whole. We love each and everyone of you, and you will stay in our prayers. May God continue to bless and keep you.
Love,
Naomi, Victoria, NaTasha, Jaliyla, CJ

Selma & Family,
Please know that we have been praying for you all. We can't even imagine what you're going through but I do know that God has a plan. He wanted BriAnna home in heaven to continue her work there. I know it may be hard losing a child but God is also a comforter and I pray that He comforts you and gives you understanding through your loss. We will continue to pray for you. May God Bless You.

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong
Yes Jesus Love ME
Jesus I heard you had a big house
Where I have a room of my own
Jesus I heard you had a big yard
With just enough room for me to roam
I heard you had clothes in your closet
Just the right size that I wear
And Jesus I heard that if I give you my heart
That you would let me live there…
Family…God is FAITHFUL, no matter what the situation
God has proven himself to us over and over again
And we know this from the trials and the tribulations
That he has carried us through already
We must lean not to our own understanding
But in all thy ways acknowledge him and
He will direct our paths
Mom, Dad, family and friends, my prayer for you is that God gives you
strength, comfort and peace to help you through such a difficult time.

Death shakes us to the core of our very being. When a loved one is called home, we ask God "why". When a child is called home, our faith is tested beyond our understanding.
We will never understand why God does what He does, we are not suppose to. Six years ago, He sent BriAnna to this earth to bring joy, laughter and love and to shine her light on everyone who knew her.
She did exactly what God put her on this earth to do and she did a good job. That is why it hurts so much that she will no longer be with us.
We cry because her light was extinguished way to early, but in Heaven they rejoice. They are rejoycing because BriAnna did exactly what she was put on this earth to do. And as she ran into God's outstretched arms, He said to her "job well done my newest little Angel, job well done".
I will keep your family in my prayers. I pray that your faith, family and friends provide you the comfort you need at this time and always. I also pray that BriAnna will comfort you and reassure you that she is ok and stitting in the light and love of God.
We will miss her smiling face at Pan practices, but I know she will be with us the night of the performance smiling brightly.
God Bless you,
