No matter the challenges she faced, Brianna never gave up. She approached life with a good sense of humor and brought joy to everyone around her. Her kindness knew no bounds. She always stood strong on what was right and offered support and encouragement to those in need. Her dream was to become a marriage and family therapist. Although she never became a therapist, she was our therapist and a great listener. She loved to see everyone in her circle win and achieve their goals. Brianna loved watching her TV shows, baby-sitting, and cooking. She loved her Special Mom’s food, especially chicken alfredo. Her favorite song to get her through life was Betty Wright’s “No Pain No Gain!”
In the words of her Special Mom, Edris, "Bri Bri” was the embodiment of love and generosity. She was always the life of the party, making us laugh with her funny antics, and light-hearted spirit. She was a creative soul, taking joy in making TikTok videos, dancing, and capturing countless memories through her photographs. Brianna was incredibly proud of her achievements, having graduated from high school, and obtaining a CNA license from Job Corp. Her employment as a home health aide was a reflection of her compassionate heart and her desire to care for others. Her love for her family was paramount, and she cherished the time spent with her father and siblings. Her previous residences, including Michigan City, IN; South Bend, IN; Palmdale, CA; and Atlanta, GA. These were all places she touched with her effervescent personality and loving spirit. We are wishing her eternal love and peace.
