To Briana loving family:
I'm so sorry to read of Briana's death and extend my sincere condolence to your family. To lose someone we love so dear can leave a crushing pain deep in our heart that no can fill. Take comfort in knowing that our Creator promises to remove all sickness, death and pain as recorded in the bible at Revelation chap 21 verses 4-5. A promise he will bring about when his Kingdom rules this earth as it now rules heaven. So as you reflect on you memories of Briania, remember the promises of the God who can't lie. I hope this being you some comfort.

My son and Izzy we're friends. He truly thought the world of your daughter. He has attempted suicide multiple times and it only by the grace of go that he is still here. I know this could have been my child just as easily. I can't imagine your pain. I know my fear is beyond words and I am keeping your daughter and your family in my prayers. Please know she will always be missed and never forgotten!
