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.

You were my favorite dancer to watch and to so many you were the reason they kept dancing throughout the years. Our small talks at the studio will be greatly missed. Someday you will dance for all of us when we meet again. I love you Bria girl!

I waited to write because there really aren't any words to explain why something like this would happen to such a beautiful caring girl and such a wonderful family. Although I had only met her a few times, I could see how special she was. Just from hearing Michael and Diane talk about her all the time you knew how great of a girl she was. Let her memories live in your hearts and keep her spirit alive.

Bria, this still doesn't seem real. It was only last week we were taking pictures and laughing. You will forever be in my heart, as I must now dance for two. You've left me no choice but to follow my dance dreams for the both of us now. Kiddo, last night we all sat there by your tree and reminisced about all our good times, and I really felt like you were there. Just know, that I loved you on Earth and will love you until we are together again. RIP
My heart goes out to everyone who had the pleasure of having even one day wit Bria, because she truly was and will always be an angel.

Through the years watching her grow as a dancer along with my daughter, her grace and beauty was unsurpassed but more than that her smile was unending. She will be sadly missed but I know she is now dancing above us. Love her friends in Westfield, Alice MacKenzie, Kirsten and Chelsea Thresher
