Brittany~
Its been a while since ive been here. i still really cant believe this
all happened. i mean i know it happened, i know its real but i don't see
why it had to happen to you. There still isn't a day that passes that i
don't think of you and smile. sometimes i tear up but mostly i just
smile because i know that you lived such a good life and you wouldn't
want me to be sad anymore. i know you would just want me to be
happy...just like you always were. my sweet 16 is coming soon....i'm sad
your not gonna be here. but i know you wont miss it because youll be
watching me from heaven. well i love you to the moon and back and i miss
you even more!!!

Brittany,
Today is 7 months, on a day we are supposed to give thanks for everyone
in our lives. But what do you do when one of those people who really
touched your heart is no longer there for you?
I never knew you but after you died I learned about your story and
the beautiful life you lived. For wherever you are, you are watching
over your family this evening and every other evening. I am thankful
that you are not suffering and am thankful that your sisters and
brothers will ALWAYS have someone watching over them. God Bless you
Brittany. Rest in Peace sweet butterfly.
Tears came to my eyes when I read a comment your mom recently wrote. She
said that she struggles everyday and the only thing keeping her strong
are your sisters. I also read about the picture Baylee found in her room
that you made for her, with the butterfly on it. Also when your mom
wrote about how Gia commented that your mom used to have a little silver
car and that she wants you back. Time does not ease the pain, like your
mom stated. It only reminds us that you are no longer with us.
I was up this morning at 2:20am and just cried. While I was in my warm
bed with my sister a few doors down the hallway and parents room at the
other end of our house, you got into the tragic accident. How is it
possible that someone like you was ripped away from your family? It's
not fair. I think it is impossible to answer the question of why you
were taken from your family. The memories will last and that is what
your Mom and sisters will remember you by.
RIP Sweet Butterfly,

Dear Star and Greg, Tony, Steve, Geoffrey, Baylee, Cameron and
Giavanna,
I'm sending you all my love and prayers on this very difficult day.
I know that something is missing and it feels like the emptiness will
never go away.
It will be hard today to watch others as they enjoy their time with
their families - feeling that your family is no longer complete.
So many emotions, so many thoughts. It will be hard to want to do
anything today. But the tears will come easily enough. So
let them come and wash away some of the hurt.
In those brief moments when a smile comes to your lips, I know it
will come from your children as they remember a special time with their
Sissy. I sometimes watch the little video clip of Geoffrey and
Brittany goofing around...although Brittany isn't in it because she was
taping her big brother, you can hear her laughing in the background with
Geoffrey at some private joke they shared. I love to hear her
giggle.
Please know that it is at times like these when I have prayed that
God will take you in and hold you even closer....close enough to feel
His Strength and close enough to feel Britt Britt's love.
Let your children be the ones to bring a smile to your face. In
their innocence and their love for their sister, let their love and
devotion help to heal you and give you a reason to continue on.
Star, you are my friend and we have shared so much - I know this hurts
really bad and I am so sorry it has to be this way.
As always, I am here for you. All of you. Know that there
is a community in San Diego that loves and supports you, and many, many
people from different states that are thinking of you all today and
sending you their love.
With much love,
Christine

To Brittany's family and friends,
May God bless you through this holiday season. I am sure Brittany is
with you and I hope she will guide you and give you the strength to be
strong.
Although I did not know Brittany and live on the east coast, I often
visit this website and send prayers your way. Her story has touched me
and I admire the way you have memorialized her. She will never, ever, be
forgotten and she will always live on in our hearts.
With love,
Mary

Dearest Brittany~
Tomorrow will be a very hard day for many. Thanksgiving without you will
be very difficult for your family and to add to their pain it is also
the 24th. 7 months to the day of your tragic accident. Be with your
family tomorrow - I know they will need to feel you with them.
Your sisters have spent the past 2 days with me and my family. We have
become close and just love them so much. They openly talk about you as
if you are still here. It warms my heart to hear them talk about you.
They sure do love you a lot!
The impact that your death has had on so many still amazes me. People
you knew well and people you never knew - in some way it is all part of
God's plan I know, but I just wish we could understand it. You have
touched the lives and hearts of so many people!!
Still missing you~

Brittany:
I've never met you, but I've met your family, and see your sisters
often. I'm not really understanding why I am so taken with you, or your
story. Is it because I'm a mom with little ones, and can't imagine what
I would do if I lost them? Is it because I second guess myself as a
mother all the time, and am trying to learn something from all of this?
Or is it that I jog past your memorial almost every day, see your
beautiful eyes in my mind, and can't fathom what your parents must be
feeling?
Nonetheless, I wish I could cash in a favor with God and ask for you to
walk into your mother's arms, and make her whole again. I hate that you
had to die in order for people to learn a lesson, and hope that somehow,
although I didn't know you, you will help guide me to make the right
decisions for my children until they are old enough to make the right
decisions for themselves.
Rest with God, fly with angels, and watch over your family. You were and
are so loved.

Hi Baby Girl,
Where do I start…? I somehow write on here hoping you can read this. I
want to believe somehow I can communicate with you. I even wait thinking
you’ll somehow respond back to us.
I miss you so much honey, it's killing me. I go through everyday one
hour at a time and finally at the end of the day it’s always the same…
something is always missing and that something is always you…
The holidays are coming and nothing will be the same ever. I’ve decided
I won't be doing anything for Thanksgiving it’s much too painful without
you. I can’t imagine trying to cook a dinner and you not there to help
me. I could never sit down for dinner and know that you will never have
another Thanksgiving dinner with us. Our tradition of going around the
table so everyone can say what we are thankful for this year is now
over. I can’t even think about Christmas without you. Family rituals we
cherished now feel torn apart and discarded.
My life will never be the same without you. Time is not a healer. Time
is a constant reminder of what we no longer have. The future that no
longer exist for you or us. Nothing seems fair anymore. How can this
really have happened?? I will never be able to just except your death. I
find myself feeling this just couldn’t have happened to us. This just
could not be my life. I still just want to wake up, go to your room and
wake you for school. Every morning I wake up I just relive the same
nightmare that I can’t go wake you. I can’t walk in your room and see
you sitting in front of the mirror putting your makeup on or walk by the
bathroom and see you straighten your beautiful long hair. I would do
anything to hear you laugh with me again. It’s the little things we take
for granted that I would give anything for right now.
Baylee and Giavanna have been having such a hard time without you too.
They constantly talk about how much they want you to come back and how
they wish they could change things.
Gia even today said, “Mommy, you use to have a silver little car and
I said, "Yes, I did."
She said, "I wish you could have that car again and Brittany could
come back from heaven.”
Poor little thing really just thinks it’s that easy. Baylee found a
picture n her room that you guys made together. Strange thing about it
it’s a picture of a sunset, a tree and a butterfly flying in the middle
on a pink background. You wrote,"To: Baylee From: Britt." She came to me
when she found it and said, “Look Mom…I remember when Brittany and I sat
in my room on the floor making this picture. I was bored and I
asked Brittany to make a picture with me and she said sure.”
You loved your sisters so much and they are so proud to have you as
their big sister.
Brittany, I’m so sad and lonely without you. You and I had so much
together as a mother and daughter. And that is why I will never be okay
without you. Our relationship was so special…really one of a kind. I
will always be so proud to have you as my daughter. I’m trying to hold
on everyday but I just feel the pain is heavier and heavier with each
passing day. I’m really trying to survive for your sisters but sometimes
it’s really just too much to endure. Unless, you have lost a child no
one can understand that.
You are the most loving, wonderful, beautiful daughter and friend. You
are so deeply missed by all of us. Please help your Dad and me both to
find the strength each day to survive. Knowing I will once again be with
you is my only strength right now. I look forward so much to the day
when I can once again hold you in my arms and tell you all the things I
didn’t get to say before you were ripped away from me. I look forward to
the life we will once again share together forever.
All my love you now and forever,
Mommy

So just like every other night, its 3am and I cant sleep cause all I do
is toss and turn and think about all the memories I have with Brittany.
Each one making me so happy I was able to share it with her, but at
the same time so sad that I will never be able to see her again. I
remember how happy I got every time I was able to see her. I would
always try to get to practice early enough so I could see her, though
I'd of course try to make it look coincidental. And then Robbi would
always tell me to go away cause i was being distracting :)
I remember the first bonfire I went to with her, the first movie we
watched, the first dinner we got together...everything. How we had our
differences, but still cared so much for each other throughout it even
if we didn't admit it. I remember making up and how happy i was to tell
her how much she meant again.
I remember in Vegas how we spent about 2 hours trying to find each
other at Caesar's Palace, but never did tell we both got back to our
hotel. And then we still managed to go to the Stratosphere at like 2am
when we had to compete the next day....but I am so glad we did.
I find it so Ironic that the wristband I had left when i spent the
night all about making smart choices, was the one she gave back to me 3
days before her accident. It all just still doesn't seem real or fair. I
can't help but feel if I had gone to see her that night like she wanted,
none of this would have happened. I remember saying goodnight to her but
not 30 min before it all happened. And then waking up with Instant
Messages from people telling me to call them, and away messages saying
RIP. I didn't believe it. i said nice try, i talked to her last night.
and then when my coach called me, i knew it was true. i didn't know what
to say, what to do, how to react.
I just wish I would have had the chance to tell her that even though
i was going to college, i would want to make it work, but i never got
that chance and i never will. i miss her every day.
heck, i put on HBO
and Van Helsing was on and i thought about her. Now i know that sounds
awkward, but it was the first movie we watched together. Its always
those little things that just start me thinking and keep me up all
night. I have a big picture of us and a note she wrote me right above my
desk. I just love her so much and wish she was still here.
Every time i try to meet a girl, all i do is compare her to Brittany
and no one ever seems to come close to how great she was. I feel like I
just can't write all that needs to be written. I don't know how to put
everything into words. All this is just a fraction of all that is going
through my head.
I will always miss and always love you Brittany! ALWAYS!
.
-Mark
Looking at
your picture from when we first met
You gave me a smile that I could never forget
And nothing I could do could protect me from you that night
Wrapped around
your finger, Always in my mind
The days they
blend 'cause we stayed up all night
Yeah, you and
I were everything, everything to me
I just want you to know that I’ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I’ll
make it through, and then there’s nights that never end
I wish that I
could believe that there’s a day you’ll come back to me
But still I
have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know
All the doors are closing
I’m trying to
move ahead
And deep inside I wish it was me instead
My dreams are empty from the day
The day you slipped away
And I just want you to know that I’ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I’ll
make it through, and then there’s nights that never end
I wish that I
could believe that there’s a day you’ll come back to me
But still I
have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know
That since I lost you, I lost myself
I know I can’t fake it, there’s no one else
I just want you to know that I’ve been fighting to let you go
Some days I’ll
make it through, and then there’s nights that never end
I wish that I
could believe that there’s a day you’ll come back to me
But still I
have to say I would do it all again, just want you to know"

I was referred to this site by another parent and wanted to send my
condolences and prayers to Brittany's family and friends even though I
live out of state and didn't know her.
Our community was recently shaken up by the loss of a 14 year old girl
who was hit by a car at a crosswalk while out with friends. She was also
a cheerleader like Brittany and her story reminds me a lot like
Brittany's story.

I think it would be helpful if we could implement the Starr program here
too. I'm interested in hearing more about it.
It sounds like a wonderful program for youth and I hope that its message
reaches out to many young people.
God bless you and may your memories of Brittany shine bright!

today i have been thinking about you alot. just thinking about how life

each day that goes by i think more and more of how much i miss you. i
feel super terrible. its been 6 months and yet it seems like its been
forever, i want you back here so much. life just isn't the same anymore.
i dont think time will ever change the way everyone feels. we'll always
love you.
i wish there was something i could do somehow to bring you back here
today. everytime i come on here i think i know what i want to say to
you. but then when i start typing i totally dont know what to say. i
know why god wanted you. but i dont understand why he needed you know.
you were always so full of life. you loved every person you ever meet.
if anyone has ever made the most of life , its YOU.
im so proud of your parents with being so strong. i know how i feel and
they must feel 5456451456484 times worse than me.
ive gone around school and told everyone about the s.t.a.a.r program
because i think its so awesome.
well babe ill let you go. but thanks for your time.
