Knowing Breanna was truly a blessing. I remember the first time I ever met Breanna, we always butted heads. Over time she became one of my best friends. She was there for me when no one else was. She truly had the biggest heart, and just wanted everyone around her to be happy even if she wasn’t. Losing Breanna will forever leave a hole in my heart. I will never forget her or the times we shared. I will always cherish days and nights with her dad’s family and mom’s family. I will always appreciate them for letting me in their home and treating me as their own. You will forever be missed breezy! I love you in this life and the next.
Breanna’s death has left a void in many lives and she will always be missed. My heart is full of pain and love for the family that must go forward without her. 🙏❤️🙏

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen🙏🏻
I love you so much sis, I really can’t believe this is reality. It still doesn’t seem real. You were always the brightest person in the room. Your smile could fill a stadium! People don’t understand how close we used to be and how we did everything together… You were my best friend & was always the best big sister you could be! There hasn’t been a day that’s went by you weren’t on my mind. I wish you could’ve spent more time with Amelia, I will always remind her of how much her Aunt B Loved her. I love & miss you more than words can describe.
Breanna was a very kind person that inspired happiness at a young age. My oldest daughter and her went to the same gymnastics center. We always so her so full of happiness that spilled over to those around her. The world lost a beautiful heart.
