That time of year again baby girl. God there's so much I wanna say. Your son, Dad, and I miss you so much. I'd give anything to see you or hear your voice again): I remember us going to haunted house (I was scared) you were having the time of your life
Brittany was like my real sister, and she will always be special to me. I remember Britt when we went to Six Flags and hearing how she had a great time with us and i was hoping that we would have another great time doing something else. Britt always liked coming over to our house and play, talk, laugh, and just have fun. I loved having her in my life, I thought of her even when I wasn't around her I still think of her. When Britt and I were together somethimes we would walk down to the Ice Cream Shack and get some ice cream. I remember Britt coming to my volleyball games and cheer me on when I was playing. I'll miss having fun with her and seeing her around. I'll miss you so much.
All memories of Britt will be special. The ones that stand out are her going down the slide at Wildlife Prairie Park, watching her be a great mom, eating wings in her graduation gown, screaming on rides at Six Flags & her opening gifts this past Christmas.
However, my greatest memory of Britt will be how she was such a great friend (and big sister) to Sheyla. Watching them wrestle around on the couch, talk, & having fun with one another will be something I'll miss.
I love you Britt.

My deepest condolence |
December 31, 2016 |
My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)
Please go to the following link to obtain more information regarding the Hope expressed in this passage and again we are sorry for your loss.

A letter 2 you |
September 9, 2015 |
Well first off, happy 22nd birthday brittany! I still remember the day I first met you. I got to know you and wen u came to Lincoln, I got 2,know you even more. Even tho we didn't talk that much in skool but wen we did, it was about everything that was going on in our lives and around us. The day I found out you passed away I couldn't believe it. I get teary-eyed every time I think about that awful day. Wen I do think about, I say 2 myself, how can people take life for granted but an angel like yourself, was taken away from family and friends too soon. I guess God wanted you to come home and had a purpose for you to come home. I pray for your family especially your son and hope he learns what a special, loving person you was to everyone. We all miss you and know you are looking down and see,how,much we miss you. God bless you!
