My heart goes out to your family during this very difficult time. I did not have the pleasure of meeting your daughter but I can say that her courage, strength and attitude touched my life and my families. God certainly blessed you with Brittney. May he bring you peace.
My words will fall short for sure so I will quote one of my favorite songs "Homesick"......by Mercy Me.
"You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again
And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
One never knows how strong they are until strong is the only choice they have...
Dear Lord,Please keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth...Amen
There are too many times in life when God seems to be at the top of my "S%@* List"! "Why does He take those least deserving of Death?
Why does He allow the Greatest persons to suffer?
Why? Why"???
I can think of one answer to make my heart smile when it feels so broken...
Only the Good die young~ AND;
God was in need of an "Extra Special" Angel in Heaven!
Kelly, when we were little girls the thing I admired most about you was your strength & determination, you surely passed those Beautiful traits to your Beautiful Angel.
Just know she's Free now and shes sitting on her Grandpas lap; Smiling.
I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeff and Kelly,
I too can only imagine the pain you are going thru right now. You are facing every parent's biggest fear. I have been praying for your family since I first heard about Brittney back in November. I will continue to pray for you as you face the difficult days ahead. I want you to know that your daughter was a true inspiration to everyone who knew her and those of us who never had the privilege of knowing her. I never met Brittney, but I will never forget her, her courage, or the impact she had on everyone! I pray that you find peace in knowing she is no longer in pain, as well as all the wonderful memories you have.
