Some are bound to die young
By dying young a person stays young
in people's memory.
If she hurts deeply before she dies, her pain is felt with the living
If she falls deeply before she dies, her living must rise
If she burns brightly before she dies,
her brightness shines for all time
-Unknown
We lost a friend, when heaven gained an angel. R.I.P

Know that you are surrounded by many people who love and care about you, especially in the weeks,months and years ahead. Know that many won't know what to say or do to heal your pain, but know that you are in their thoughts and prayers. Only bringing her back could heal the pain you will face.

you never said "im leaving"
you never said goodbye
you were gone before i knew it
and only god knew why
a million times i needed you
a million times i cried
if love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
in life i loved u dearly
in death i love u still
in my heart you hold a place
that no one could ever fill
it broke my heart to lose u
but u didnt go alone
for part of me went with you
the day God took u home.
Rest easy Brianna .. we gonna miss you forreal :'( <3
