It seems just like yesterday that I came upon a page on Facebook in remembrance of you. That "yesterday" has actually been about 14 months. In that time, two of your birthday's have passed making you 16 now.

It makes me sad that you are gone. Watch over your loved ones. Lots of them need you... forever!

Bree,
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name.
All we have are memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping,
We have you in our heart.

We all love you so much!

Darling Bree,
You were the most amazing, creative, busy person- you just wanted to be loved and accepted. You tried so hard to make others see how special you were. Your life was a gift- your loss too painful to bear. We love you always.

Kevin Kowalski

August 13, 2010

Dear Bree,

It is not fair that you had to leave this world so soon. Please watch over all those who love you. Your family really needs your strength right now; your Mum, Dad, Jayde, Matthew, and Keira. I know they all miss you so very much and struggle with each passing day. I think about them and pray for them all the time.

Everyday I see how much all of your friends love and miss you. You’ve touched the lives of all those who knew you, and even those of us who were never blessed with that opportunity.

I think about you constantly. Thanks to your wonderful family and friends, I can see the true beauty you radiate inside and out. I wish that I could have been lucky enough to have personally known you.

I looked up ‘Brianna’ to see what your name means. I was not at all surprised by any of the descriptive words, as I believe they all accurately describe you.
Brianna is of Irish, Gaelic and Celtic origin. The meaning of Brianna is "high, noble, exalted, virtuous, strong, intelligent, smart, cute".

With the assistance of Daniel Cole, we are getting your ‘Angel Brick’ made. I am so blessed to be able to have the chance to do this for you. Even though you deserve so much more, I hope it shows you just a fraction of the love everyone has for you.

Not many are lucky enough to have a Guardian Angel like you.

God Bless you, Bree. </3

Bree,

You are an amazing young girl who deserved so much more. I have been blessed to have found your family and learn things about you.

I am so sorry that things turned out this way. There are SO many people who love you and miss you.

I really hope that you like the poem I made for you. You truly are an Angel. May you find peace and never hurt again! You will never be forgotten.

Dear Devries family:

I am terribly saddened to hear about your loss. Having lost my own son 18 months ago I feel your enormous pain. Surround yourself with family and loved ones daily for comfort and strength. You are in my thoughts and prayers. At the request of your friend Kevin Kowalski, an Angel Brick will be engraved in Brianna's name and placed at The Toledo Children's Memorial-toledochildrensmemorial.com

God bless,

Bree was a strong person who not only had faith in herself but for others,
This led me think of all the unforgettable moments that we had shared,
And through all times of sadness during this situation I thought of her smile and went to the one place that Bree and I once sat,
Sitting there on the beach with my feet in the sand,
as I’m looking out into the water I can her smile shining bright in the glance of shimmering water,
And her voice in my head while the waves thrashed up against on another,
I remember you saying we will always be there for each other ,
And I know that throughout all of life you will never break that promise and nothing will ever take that from us,
You gave me the strength to be strong,
And I will cry tears of happiness because you gave me the independence to be strong.
And I will cry tears of joy because I know that no matter what you will always be in my heart, I know that when life may come to an end your will be waiting with your smile shining bright will lead us towards happiness,
Till then I then ill always be strong just for you bree,
Because I know that when life comes to an end you’ll be at the end of that bridge waiting for me with you smile lighting up that bridge and this gives me a glitter of hope,
And that’s why bree we will miss your for ever in our hearts
