My wish is for peace in the hearts of Brittany's family and friends.
My wish is for all the prayers and condolences to bring some level of
comfort to Star, Tony, Greg, Steve, Baylee, Gia, Geoffrey and Cameron
during this extremely difficult time.
My wish is for success of the STAAR program and that Brittany's voice
and story will ring in the ears of young people everywhere and prevent
another family from enduring such a horrific loss.
My wish is that I can hold Brittany's hand in heaven and tell her how
truly loved she is...and how many people love her and miss her every
single moment of every single day.
My wish is that we can all wake up from this nightmare and see the world
the way we used to...the way we saw it when Brittany's smile and energy
graced it.
My wish is that Brittany's star shines ever so bright in the sky...for
all of time.
RIP, my dear sweet beautiful child.
You have forever changed each and every one of us and will NEVER EVER be
forgotten.

Every day that goes by you are in our thoughts, prayers and our heart.
Your kindness made such an impact on my daughter at CA ALLSTARS. Your
kind words of encouragement always meant so much to her. You are missed
so much by so many. I pray for your family as they have suffered such a
great loss but the work they are doing in your memory is such a great
thing.
If the mission that they are doing even only touches one persons life
then they have done a wonderful job. I know that they are touching
millions of lives that go to your website. I am proud and honored for
Rio to be wearing the pink Brittany Star bracelet in memory of you.

I really didn't even know her but I saw this on a web site and clicked
it. I can't even read because it makes me cry to see how much she was
loved and how much of a happy caring girl that she was. It's sad that
god has to take some of the most important people in our lives for his
garden of angels but he does and I'm so so sorry about her and I just
wanted to show my love for her and her family and friends.

Baby Girl,
Though I have not written here in a while, you are on my mind and in my
thoughts every minute of every hour of every day! Britt, I still keep
hoping to wake up to your morning phone call. I know that dreams do not
last this long. It is very hard for (me) your daddy who loved you more
than life its self to accept that this phone call is not coming.
Britt, You should be here enjoying your summer vacation with all of your
many friends and family who love you and miss you so much. I know that
you are with Jesus now and in a much, much better place. I am greedy
though and would give up everything to have you back here with us.
Cameron talks about you all the time. He keeps asking me if we can take
you to the doctor so that he can make you better and come home. I do my
best to explain that you are always here with him, even if he can't see
you. He misses his sissy so much!!! He's going to start school next
month, please keep him safe out of harms way under your wings.
Well pumpkin pie,
My tears will never stop flowing when I remember all the love we shared
as a father to his daughter and a daughter to her father. I am more
proud of you than mere mortal words could ever express. From my very sad
heart, YOU ARE AMAZING and again, I could not be more proud that you are
my daughter!!!
Sweetest Dreams!
I LOVE YOU & I MISS YOU!!! CAN'T WAIT TO KISS YOU!!!
AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN!!!
LOVE,
DADDY

I kind of just stumbled on this website and I think it is a beautiful
memorial for an obviously exceptional young lady. I lost a close friend,
Anna Ringer, in December also in a car accident, but I still cannot even
imagine your grief. Just always keep in mind that it's never goodbye,
just I'll see you later. Always know that you are a wonderful family and
always, always stay strong.
With love,
Mary

Dear Star and Family,
I am a second cousin of Steve's and received an email from Gail and Barbara after Brittany's accident. Since then, I have come to this web site, nearly everyday, and I too have a good cry and am always AMAZED at what Brittany did in life and how many people she touched then AND now. I have never known quite what to say...but today, I feel compelled to write.
I know that I cannot comfort you, but I need to thank you, and Brittany, for so much. First of all, this website helped me to teach my daughter a valuable lesson when she was involved with another classmate in a "bully" incident. She now knows that hugging people that don't think they matter can actually save a life, and that she would much rather stick up for someone, than see them hurt. She is only nine, and we are VERY close, too. I was SHOCKED when I found out that she had picked on someone.
Secondly, I was curious about Brittany's "myspace". I checked out her site, and again was touched by how many people TRULY love, and were touched by your daughter. My stepson, who I love as my own, has a band with a site on myspace, but we had never checked out his name. When I did, unfortunately, we found out that he is using drugs and has driven under the influence, to name a few...Your daughter made it impossible for me to ignore our suspicions and forced us to take action. We are now, fighting his biological mom, and trying to force him to get help (we had also caught him last year), before he hurts someone else, or God forbid....
Star, I have read your emails....and I will not even pretend to imagine your pain. I just know that it is a pain that I NEVER want to feel. I know that you must feel like you're drowning, but Brittany WILL save you!!! Just look at how she carries you...to cheer, to fundraise, TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! You are amazing, you have the strength, and you have that beautiful girl right by your side, in a breeze, in your shadow, or shining down on you in the sunlight. You gave that remarkable girl life, and that life will never "leave" you.
Please, don't stop this crusade. The majority of teens out there, have done some ridiculous things and got away with it once, and will do it again, and again. They are invincible...I remember I (thought I) was. This is a lesson that needs to be taught to EVERY generation, and your daughter HAS the charisma to teach it!!!!! Thank you again, for being such a wonderful Mom and friend, and strong woman. Hang in there, and take care of those two beautiful girls.
Always, Jennifer

Hey Brittany,
It's been a while since I have written in here, but I'm always checking
up on this site to see the updates. I'm sorry I couldn't attend the tree
planting ceremony. I thought it was on Thursday, but it ended up being
on Wednesday. I always ask my mom if we can drive by your site whenever
we're just driving around town though. Haruka and I were talking about
you at the pool, and out of random a butterfly flies by us! It was
beautiful, just like you, Brittany. I sensed your presence and it made
me feel a whole lot better that day. I hope you're doing great wherever
you are and I hope you keep looking over us all. We all miss you soo~
much, especially your family. Keep flying high, Brittany.

Hi Brittany~
We went to the beach on the 4th of July and I wanted to tell you this
story. My daughter Jordyn (who cheered with Baylee) was laying in the
sand making "sand angels". Then I saw her writing in the sand above the
angel. She came over and said she had written "Brittany Star". I guess
that sand angel was you!! I thought it was wonderful and I felt so proud
of her to be thinking of you. She only remembers you as Baylee's big
sister - the cheerleader but she wears your pink bracelet, talks about
you, asks questions about you and wants to bring flowers to the accident
site all the time! I hope this story makes you smile!! We think about
you all the time!!
Blowing kisses to you in heaven~

I was also at the tree planting, and was in awe when that beautiful
butterfly appeared from the tree! It was so beautiful, and colors I had
never seen in a butterfly around here. My son and I both smiled and he
said, "see Mom, there's our sign! As someone who isn't swayed by
'signs', I too was thinking the same thing! It sure seemed like a
"sign". We miss you Brittany xoxo

brittany brittany brittany...
....where do i begin today
-its been quite some time since i've typed a guestbook entry in
here...of course that doesn't mean i dont think about you
i think about you several times a day, and i love you soooo much. ~~i'm
in florida right now. currently i'm in tampa, but i was in orlando for
awhile. i had to make several connections to get from san diego to
florida. the third connection i made was through chicago's airport...i
remembered going through that terminal with you and catching the flight
from chicago to orlando for our competition....and THEN i reached
orlando.
i got so sad brittany, so sad. i saw one of the benches in the terminal
that we sat at, laughing about how tired we were...and how we were in
desperate need of starbucks iced frappuccino's to wake us up. and then i
went through the little tram subway thinga majigger and remembered us
taking that to the bus too....
the florida trip has been extremely hard because of all of the memories
i have with you here. baby i love you..sooo much
and i'm sorry i wasn't able to attend your tree planting ceremony
because my school ended later..
but when i get home, i'm going to pay my respects..and leave some
flowers there
i love you
i always will
i wear your pink band proudly with my livestrong one, and i'm always
prepared to share your story, to save others that would have made a
similar mistake

I went to the Tree Planting at 4S Ranch on June 23rd. Several friends of
mine asked me why I went even though I never knew Brittany or her family
before the accident. My reason was simple. I went because I felt the
pain her family was going through and when I lost someone close to my
heart, I wanted people around me, to comfort me, even if I had never met
them before. Her story touched me. Brittany was in AVID and so was I.
AVID is part of my family, it is a major part in my life.
Towards the end of the tree planting on June 23rd, we looked up and
everyone saw a beautiful butterfly. It comforted everyone and for a
second, I could see everyone's frowns turn into smiles as it was almost
a sign to us telling us Brittany is safe in heaven and is doing fine.
Brittany Mom: Is there any further news on STAAR? Is there a website or
is it in this one? Thanks!

I hope that even though I did not know her family or friends, that I am

Hi Honey,
Happy 4th of July sweetheart....This was such a hard day because it was
one of our favorite holidays and our favorite time of the year. You
loved summer and all I could think about yesterday is how much fun you
would be having. It was so hard to be without you and feel you were
missing out on everything.
I was especially thankful to be in the company of such great family and
friends during this extremely hard day although I never stopped thinking
of you.
I miss you something terrible and wish everyday I could of done
something different to prevent all this. My heart just aches for you and
I seem to be hurting more and more everyday. It just does not get
better. I really don't believe that any time in the world will make me
feel better.
I'm so sorry this happen to you my love. You did not deserve any of
this. I try everyday to be strong but no one knows the way I feel, the
love I have for you and the relationship we shared. Time just cannot
heal that. I will never be the same without you and your love I had
everyday. You meant everything to me and my world has been shattered. It
will never be the same....never....
I will cherish you everyday for the rest of my life.
I love you always and forever...
Love,

WITH LOVE, TO THE CURCIOS - NEVER GIVE UP
HILARY DUFF- SOMEONE'S WATCHING OVER ME
Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
Took this moment to my dreams
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart
So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me
Someone's watching over me

I want to tell you how sorry i am for your loss, you have kids never
thinking that you will outlive them, and i know that it must be hard.
I want to say that what your are doing in creating the STAAR program
is awesome, and i think it is amazing that you can come up with
something so powerful and amazing even in a time of sadness, i hope
STAAR becomes very well known and helps kids around the nation.

Brittany's younger brother was very jittery, but he just didn't realize
what was going on.
After we said a prayer for Brittany a butterfly came down. We just look at that as a sign that Brittany was there. It was very unexpected and relaxing. It was a beautiful day and I'm glad I could have participated. We all miss you Brittany and know you appreciate the tree!
We all love and miss you! ~Elizabeth

I just read a letter from Brittany's mom and I cried so much. I have two
daughters and I can not imagine the pain. I wish I could take it away
but it will be with her every day for the rest of her life.
I know that she feels she can not go on but she will because of her other children that light up her life and need her. Brittany was a sweet, bright , wonderful girl and every mom would have wanted her for a daughter. If she needs support please e-mail me. I am here for you.
