I am so glad that I was able to grow up with an amazing friend like Brianna. She was like a sister to me and I will always remember all of the fun times we shared.
Please except my sincere condolences for your loss of Brianna. Our Creator God understands how you feel and he deeply cares about you, and He fully understands what you’re going through.. (Psalm 103:14; 1 Peter 5:7) Jehovah is close to those who are Heart broken, he comforts those who are grieving.—Ps. 34:18. You can trust him with your innermost feelings, Pray to Almighty God for peace and he will sustain you. My deepest Sympathy
Joe, John, Jeannie, and Brandon— We are all wading in sadness over your loss. Brianna was my Fridley classmate and friend. She had a sharp wit, infectious laugh, and generally kind spirit. Her children will grow up to know how hard she loved them for the time that she could, and we think of you while you grieve and remember her earthly life. —Katie (Young) Carney
Oh John and Jeannie Franke I just heard from another Fridley school classmate that your daughter passed away. I am so sorry for your loss knowing that I too can relate to what you may be going through after experiencing the loss of my own daughter on March 8,2018 of Breast Cancer at 41 years old. Hugs to you and your family. Rose Marie DeLong
