Hi Brianna, I have been thinking about you alot lately. Christmas is always hard to deal with , I remember I used to Hide all the presents from you and would always find them before christmas, hahha, and you would always help me Decorate the Tree every year we would play christmas music and put up the tree it was sooooooo much fun doing that with you,,..
Now my life is missing that special element and fun that we had together, I only wish you were here to enjoy your life, not like the driver of the car WHO will eat christmas dinner with his Family, and Brianna will not be able to do that
You bet he will still pay for what he did to you, I will never forget what he did to you.......... He will have to pay for his Reckless Driving, that he though was fun,,,,,
I wonder how fun it is in Prison for Christmas
WE LOVE YOU BRIANNA AND MISS YOU FOREVER.. YOU NEVER DESEVERED THIS AT ALL,........

Wishing you were here, to Graduate with us this year. ... / Orlando Viera (School Friend )
Hi Karen.
My name's Orlando Viera. I was friends with Brianna through middle school, and we had a few classes together in 7th and 8th grade. I'm a senior now, and I wish Brianna was around today to graduate with her friends.
The week she died, I didn't sleep very good. It was a very surreal and strange feeling knowing that you won't see one of your friends again for a very very long time.
I had another close friend pass away in October, and it was a similar experience.
I've been thinking about Brianna a lot lately; I'm not sure why, but she's been on my mind a lot.
I just wanted to say that I'm very sorry for your loss. I have no idea what loosing a child feels like, and I hope to God I never have that experience, but I'm sure Brianna is up there smiling down on you and watching over all of us.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss. We'll see her again soon.
I'm so sorry / Monique Gonzales (none)
To Brianna's mom I am so sorry for your loss, I didn't know brianna. I read another story you blogged on about the 18yr old girl who was speeding & photos were leaked on the internet. Your daughter's story brought tears to my eyes & made me have a serious talk w/my 14yr old daughter. Once again I am so sorry. Close

I miss you bri. You truely changed the way I treat the people closest to me. And to her mother, thank you personally for being open hearted enough to let all of us that we're broken hearted over her share the little time we did have with her. You didn't shut us out and that I admire that. Close
Justin/ Karen Brianna's Mm
Justin, He was Speeding, and he was drunk, and he also did lose control of the car. All Reports say he did it on Purpose,,,,,,,,
Driving as fast as he could, to show off - speed and kill my little girl on Purpose...
I will never forgive him for what he did and for how fast he was driving, while he was calling out speed of 90.95.100.120..
and lost control of the car........... all reports say the same thing
it's all his fault....... and he needs to be in Jail for a life time
We all love and miss you a lot, you were very special to all of us.......

My Heart is With You / Darcie McNally (Justin's Mom )
Your daughter saves my son's life everyday. Thank you for your Angel. My Heart stays with You. Close
One thousand forty five days. / Justin McNally (She is my guardian angel. )
Brianna,
I knew you for such a short time. Tragically short. I visit the spot where our tree was often, late at night.
Your kindness to Jimmy was repaid to you in horrible selfish cruelty. You and I are the only ones who know what really happened in that car.
For anyone who doesn't know, Jimmy wasn't showing off. He wasn't drunk. He didn't "lose control of the car". He was trying to murder us. He took the life of a bright, caring, and wonderful girl. He is a murderer. His own selfish reasons and petty angst removed from this physical earth a young woman who was destined for great things.
Bri, I know you have been with me these past three years. You gave me the strength to change my life, to become an integrous man. Not one day, no, not one hour goes by that I dont feel your presence, watching over me, helping me through the tough times and enjoying with me the good times. I am so greatful that I had the chance to know you, to experience the smiles that you gave to everyone, even people you didn't know.
Specifically, Bri, I wanted to thank you for the advice you gave me the night before you moved on to the next part of the journey of life. You told me that if I wanted to be happy, I had to first figure out how to just be me. I know who I am now, and I thank god and my guardian angel every day for that.
With love, forever, from your friend,
Justin McNally Close
Not Enough time / Karen MOM
I also feel this is not enought time for what the driver did on purpose driving down the street yelling out speeds of 90, 95, 100. then 120 oh mY God I Cant believe that the Judge Didnt Give him more time Either.. Im beside my self, I did a lot of work on this case and had to yell at a lot of D A"s to get a lot done, I had the case reopened and re investagated.
IM BESIDE MYSELF THAT HE GOT ONLY 2 YEAR AND IM APPALLED AT THE COURT SYSTEM THEY FAILED ME AND FAILED BRIANNA TO SHE LOST HER LIFE HER WHOLE LIFE AND HE GET TWO YEARS BIG F ING DEAL,
YES IM MAD -- IM AS MAD ALL HELL !!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU BRIANNA......
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND AND HE WILL STILL GET HIS
MOTHER'S DAY / MOM (MOM)
Mother's Day is always the hardest thing for me,to lost a child is the worst thing in whole world to go though, I dont know how I even made it this far with out my Brianna around, I think about her everyday and wonder just how she would look and what she would be doing, she would have been getting out of the 11 th grade this june 07. she will never make it to the 12 grade,
I made a promise to brianna that I would make sure the driver of that car would go to Prison and stay there for a very long time he is in Jail now, we will find out soon how long he will stay there he wrecked Brianna's life and our familys life too, so now he has to pay for what he did on Purpose,,,,,, Driving 120 mph what was he thinking,,,,, God,,,,,,
We miss brianna and all of her laugher and talking on her cell phone all night long, we miss her hanging around the house watching T V She will never be able to drive a car or even to her Prom, or any foot ball game,
Please dont drink and speed or drive,
her loving mom Karen , love and kiss sweet heart, Close
