Dear Williams Family,

Words cannot express the loss of a child and the gain of an angel in any terms that any of us can understand as much as you do. Your family has been an example for my family by your actions and your words. Brea was our angel on earth and now your angel in heaven. How lucky we all were to have known her. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Brett and Collette:



I met her only once, but she so impacted my life. Shy, but friendly, I fell in love with her. Her life lessons that she taught me will always be remembered. Thank you for sharing her with me.



Love,

Montina

I am so sorry about the loss of little Brea, but God now has another beautiful angel with him. I am so encouraged by your strength and faith in our Lord through all this and that is a testament that Brea's life made a difference to those of us that bearly new her. Thank you for sharing your precious daughters life through your example.

Hi Williams Family,



You are truly part of our family and we are so saddened and hurt by the loss of Brea and the time that she was sick. But we are encouraged by how God is using you to testify for Him and the beautiful witness Brea was and still is in so many lives.

Be encouraged! Love from all of our hearts, April, Evan, and Julian

Brett and Colette,



I will always cherish the lessons that Brea, God's little angel, taught all of us (even the adults)..."I am not afraid any more, because God has made me not afraid." Let the fact that she had a warm and intimate relationship with the Lord at such a tender age be of comfort to you in the days to come.



Love,

Uncle Marcus and Aunt Kay Kay

Brett & Viva,

I love you guys so much. Brea's beautiful smile and personality will remain in my memory for as long as I live. I can't begin to imagine what you all are experiencing, but I do know that God does not make mistakes. Brea's job here on earth was done, now she is resting peacefully in heaven awaiting the day when she can be reunited with her family and friends. I can't wait to see her again...I know you all can't either. Stay encouraged.



Love ya!

While it is most difficult for us to understand why our loved ones must be taken away from us, It is at this time we must place our faith and trust in God, He makes no mistakes, and we would make a mistake if we begin to doubt and criticize God. " All things work together for good" even death of a loved one. May The Lord Of Heaven give you the courage to remain faithful to Him so that you will see her again in the earth made new.

I have lost a child also, so I truly know how you feel.

We may not why, but we know God knows and He knows our sorrow. He is faithful and just. My prayers are for you and your family that you may remain faithful til Christ Himself shall come to receive all of His children.

Colette and Family,

I know and share your pain and I'm praying for you that God gives you peace and comfort through this time. Remember that, Faith is not a sense, nor sight, nor reason, but simply taking God at his word. He is able, trust him in everything. He makes it easier, believe me. We love you so much.
