Brianna lived a few houses away from ours. When she first moved in, she was hanging out with my daughter, and she was so humble and so kind. My daughter's room was a mess and she had lost her phone and Brianna offered to help her clean her room to find the phone. My daughter could care less about her phone, but Brianna didn't even know my daughter well and she was willing to help a girl she barely knew. That memory always sticks out in my mind. I always loved seeing her in the yard playing softball with her dad. She had an amazing arm and she was a showstopper to watch pitch that softball. I know her baby sister Nessa looked up to her and she would be out there pitching with her Dad too. Giving it all she had and showing up like her big sister. Brianna was beautiful too, but I don't think she even knew it. My deepest condolences to her family. I know she will be missed so much. I am so sorry that Brianna didn't get to grow up and see more of the world. 15 is supposed to be a chapter and not an ending. Knowing what a kind heart Brianna's mom has I don't know how she is even breathing through this but please stay strong, Lilly and Nessa need you. With all my love I am praying for your whole family.
