Brianna

Many miles away
Tri18 takes Brianna today
Without warning
Without hesitation
Without time enough for goodbyes

But nothing can take away
The memory of your beautiful eyes
Your porcelain skin
Your smile a burst of sunshine

Brianna you'll live on forever
Because you now live in our hearts.

Oh May, thankful for the gift of your writing. How true are your words about her beautiful skin, smile etc. Yes, and she will live on in all of our hearts.
When I woke this morning and remembered Brianna's smile for a momment, a split second, I had hope that is was just a bad dream. With that said, I can begin to imagine how Brenda is feeling.

It brought a smile to my face reading your poem. We all are mourning the loss of Brianna and what a neat way to remember how her..like Cathy said I woke up with Brianna on my mind: missing her, if I feel that what must going on in the hearts of Jerry Brenda and Ashley? It is a comfort to come here to see Vera/you, or to visit with Annabel and Cathy etc...can't say anything more than it's was good to see your beautiful girl today~Trish

You put it perfectly, May. Perfectly.

It's so nice of you, May, to have put in writing what the rest of us feel about Brianna -- of how she touched so many people's lives.
