Brittany is never forgotten her smile replays in my mind I'm sure as it does in everyone's. I don't care if anyone judged her I didn't. I knew who she was inside without that garbage. Too many great ones lost to this addiction. I had been a heroin junkie for along time... after seeing so many close to me gone I made a move to new surroundings and ppl. It has been working so far and I pray that someday we won't see all the amazing people takin from this addiction. So many times it could have been me and so many times so close. It is truly the devil and it's crazy how an epidemic can take so many so fast and takeover. I prey all of it slows down. There's too many good people that have been over taken by this monster. Anyways I love you sis still on my mind

My heart hurts for the family and friends. Although I did not know her, I read her obituary and I commend the family for their truthfulness about her addiction, yet told the human side of a wonderful gift they had been given. This had to be helpful to so many others who have gone through the same thing but felt the truth couldn't be shared. I truly am sorry and know this horrible loss with much mourning will be very long lasting. But continue doing what you have been doing and keep sharing so many wonderful memories of Brittany.

I am so sorry for your loss of Brittany. Words sèem to say so little to express the sentiments that others feel for the family as you try to cope with this difficult time. May God comfort and strengthen all of you. He cares about you and understands your sadness. He will help you to get through each day.

So sorry to read about your daughter. I didnt know her or know you but I wanted to say thank you for publishing the cause of her death. Addiction is a hard thing to overcome and heroin use is on the rise.Even in small Iowa towns. I pray God gives you the strength you need as you go thru the days and yrs ahead. May she rest in peace.
