END
The family in England is shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic death of Brianna our niece and cousin. She was such a beautiful, loving and gentle young lady. Born on my birthday she was the pride and joy of my heart. I know that she is in heaven. The jumper she wore on the last day I saw her says make heaven crowded. I can’t even imagine the deep pain and sorrow her mum, sister and those much closer to her are going through. God rest her gentle soul.
