you are not forgotten / R.I.P Bria Bria- I only met you once or twice, but your pretty face is burned in my mind. When i first saw you, i thought wow she is so freaking beautiful. i saw you dance that summer, only god knew that would be your day at the a of d. when we found out about your death in that tragic way, my god bria everyone was so heartbroken, I barely knew you but i still cried simply because you were so young to be taken away from your family and friends. Only god knew one simple mistake of a seat belt could cause your life to forever end. Days after your death your beautiful senior pictures flashed across the tv screen's everywhere and your face in the obituary section of the paper. I thought wow she's really gone. The candle light vigal at the dance studio was so nice, everyone came out for you, there was not one person there who was in tears. A year later I remember being at the dance studio as clock hit 5:53pm there was a moment of silence, your mom let out 18 butterflies from a basket they all flew away execpt one who stayed on you're mothers hand. Everyone started bawling, we knew that was you, you wanted everyone to know how much you have missed them. As everyone gathered to take pictures, and to see just how beautiful you were, you took off, only to fly around us 10 minutes later. That was the happiest moment of my life, to know god let you come back to see us all, you sent us a message of peace and happniess Bria. More than anyone one of us could ever have. Two years have flown by now, although people have moved on from the past, some have not forgotten about you. Though there was nothing special on August 29th 2008, I still thought about you. You are not forgotten Brianna, you are forever in my heart. I will always cherrish those few days at dance, and I will always cherrish you're memory. Please continue to watch over us all down here. Keep us safe.. R.I.P Bria.
BUCKLE UP FOR BRIANNA <3 ...PS you're 20th bday is about to fall on us. hope you have a big party!! we miss you. Close
You have been around me alot recently. I heard that Dave Matthew's song the other day which I haven't listened to since you passed away. I miss you all the time and always pray for you but I also know that you are my guardian angel and have guided me since you passed away. You are my little girl and always will be. I love you.

Hey Brianna. How are you? I know things have been sucky within the past month with all that's been going on. I just wanted to say thank you for looking out for me and keeping me out of trouble the best that you could. I needed some time to myself so I back away from family and friends for a bit. Things are slowly getting better they always do.
On September 25th my best friend's mother passed away, no it was not Erica's mom because Erica is no longer my best friend. But my friend is now going through a hard time and I know exactly what he is going through. I loved his mom, she was so nice to me when I was over the house, she would always get my dad, brother and I to come over for dinner, I went a couple times during the summer and she made good food we would just sit and talk about life it always was a good time.
When i found out she had died, I was shock, I wanted to cry but I couldn't I went over to the house that night he told me all the details of when he found her, That's when I started crying because I thought back to my mom and how I found her it was almost the same way. Please help my friend get better, and look after his mom, I'm still upset over it.
Well baby, I just want to say I miss you, I love you and that I will never forget you, may you rest in peace until the day I see you again. Everytime I see a butterfly I know it's you thank you for keeping me company.

Dear Bria:
Wow what can I say another year has passed by without you here with us, as each day passes the closer i get with you (u know how) and that just means so much to me, no one can ever take that away from me. Theres not much I can say on here to you besides I miss and love you so very much without giving away our "secret". Please watch over everyone tomorrow bc it's going to be a hard day.... Not much has changed here since you went away but I know one thing has changed, the fact that no one could ever forget you! well I know I sure won't. Bria Ive read my letter to you several times so you know the way i feel about you and what has happened. Thank you for understand me and what I am going though. Please understand what i always say Iam not trying to be the best, im not trying to intrude I am just living my life wiht you in me, I do what I want for me and no one else. No one will ever stop me from continuing what I do for you and u know that.... I have a very special connection with you and no one knows that, this is our little secret and it will always be our little secret. So thank you for coming to me, thank you for being a part of me, and thank you so much for helping and watching over me. And yes Bri i know it was you that makes me buckle up now and u and i both know why bc i didn;t before and u know why of that too... You became my best friend Brianna and ppl can say it's strange bc I was not ur friend when u were here, and to be honest I dont care what ppl think, You are my best friend and no one can take that away from me, "him" and I understand and thats all that matters <3 I will see you tomorrow hunny, all day like i promised.
Until the day I see you again, Rest In Peace Brianna. "you are free, so spread your wings and fly away" you have one side of my heart, and my mom has the other, and together my heart is complete <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 you are not dead to me, you are alive in thoes 2 butterflies that "him" and I see.
no words can explain the way i feel except for the three i will never stop repeating...

i think god had a bigger plan for you.. / Miss You
hey bria..
i miss you. i think about you a lot. everyday i go to work i pass by the tree and everytime i do i think of you and say a little prayer for you... i wish you could see it, theres butteflies in the branches of the tree..and your name on a cross "Bria" sometimes i look back in my rearview mirror and i see the person in the car behind me and they look over to your spot..it makes me sad taht they don't know what a great an amazing person you were, how you were taken away before your time..and how that spot, just a regular old spot for them, is the one place that some of us can barely even stand to look at.. because thats the spot you were taken from us..bria i didn't know you too well but your death has taught me a huge lesson..i remember you from lacrosse and i remember looking over to you and always seeing your smile, when i close my eyes i remember your smile. your two year will be soon..i can't believe its been that long. but bria honestly i don't think one person whose life uve touched thinks of u less then they did before. you were so beautiful and i believe, no i KNOW, you wouldve lived the greatest life ever.. but i believe that God needed you more and therefore you were taken because only the good die young..i believe that..
~i think God had a bigger plan for you then you had for yourself, like this journey, it never really ends<3
i promise you that i'll think of you always and i will always carry a piece of you in my heart. you will always be remembered.
i can truly say i love you and i miss you..i wish you were here with us.

Brianna, I miss you sooo much. As the years go on, it gets harder knowing your not coming back. Sometimes, i'll see pictures of you at the Academy, and I just tell myself that I will see you again. Someday.
I'm turning 13 in about a month. The last birthday I had with you there was my 11 birthday party. That was fun. I will always remember the fun times we had together. I remembered when I first joined the Academy Of Dance, I knew you danced there and I was excited that we would be dancing at the same place. Then the next dance year, you were gone. I cried when we went back to the Academy that year. I was torn. It was even worse when Grandpa died the next month. It was horrible for me and i felt like I was going to fall apart but knowing that you and him will be watching over me makes me feel like there is hope for me. I will always love you Bria, and I hope you will always love me too <333
when i walk on stange i dont thhink about when im going to point my feet i think about u ,and how i could watch u dance for hour and i wouldnt get bored. and when my song starts to play i know that u would be there watching me but u are watching me even know i cant see u.
I was looking at a picture of us yesterday and for a second, I forgot you were gone... still, none of this seems real, will it ever? Some days I feel like I'm waiting for you to come back, and others I feel like I am searching for reasons as to why you were taken... it is truly a nightmare. Your family is so strong and I admire them more each time I see them. It is hard to see everyone moving on with their lives, because in truth no one will ever move on from you, no one will ever forget what it felt like to know you... there are no better memories in the world. It may not be as evident as it once was, but we are still missing you everyday. I hope you are smiling and I know you are still just as cute as ever! We love you beyond words
so tomorrow is the first competition, good old Starbound! I know you will be there rooting us on! NO words can describe how much i miss you bria, and i just wish you could come home and stop into the studio to see us all again. I would love to hear your laugh and see that smile that i always loved. I know i've told you this before, but you were always my role model at dance, and you still are. Watch over me tomorrow, and the studio as a whole. Be there right on stage next to me bria because i need you. Visit me soon okay...
Tributes and Condolences
