I’ve known Brianna nineteen years now. Countless memories of going to the mall in junior high, going to the mall as adults, dances, annual Halloween parties, her birthday, dog sitting my dogs, her giving me nicknames, spending so many days at her house hanging out with everyone in our circle, spending time with her family. 

Through the good times and the bad times she always stayed so perseverant to continue on, always so genuine, transparent, and honest with her feelings. And she was indubitably the rock of the friend group. This is a huge, heavy loss for this entire community. She is someone who will never be forgotten for the impact she had on us all. Rest easy, friend. 

Brianna was my hero.  She was so brave. I'll always cherish the picture of her holding the snake she caught in her chicken coop.  She will be missed by so many.  I loved her. 

When I first started my job, Brianna was my boss. She was a hard worker, determined, and caring to all. Throughout the years working together, she always had words of encouragement for me and pushed me to do my best. She always put others first and helped no matter what. We became very good friends and she was someone I could always look up to for guidance and advice. Thank you so much Bri, for being the best "Boss Lady" and friend anyone could ever ask for. I'll miss you dearly.

Bri was everything you could ask for in a friend but to me she was more than a friend we were family. She was always there with a helping hand and she was the funniest person I've ever met she had the ability to bring out the best in someone and she could always manage to make someone smile. I love you Bri kiss Kharma for me and give mom a big hug 

Such a beautiful soul she was. We connected and related in a way most people are fortunate enough not to experience. Bri experienced the journey of losing her child, Kharma. We’d share songs, movies, quotes or anything relating to the loss of a child. She went through what I knew I would have to go through. I looked to her for strength, comfort, knowledge, love and support and she always came through. When Cams time was coming soon, I was grateful that I had the chance to hold mine while he passed, because she wasn’t able to. At Cams visitation, Bri was reminded of Kharmas passing and got emotional. She said to me “it’s not about me, I’m sorry”. I quickly told her how it was absolutely acceptable for that moment to remind her of her baby’s passing. I told her how her journey unknowingly helped me with Cams passing. Bri loved it when I’d wish her Happy Mother’s Day. She loved it when people would remember, because she never forgot. Now she’s in Heaven with Kharma. 

Bri was also my boss at Papa Johns. We called her boss lady! She was a great manager. She was so understanding about Cams doctors appts and hospitalizations. I never needed a doctors excuse or to cover my shift. She took care of it for me. She allowed us to wear Cams shirts or The Champ Foundations shirts. She allowed us to raise funds for The Champ Foundation. She was an incredible boss lady and friend and I will miss her dearly 💔❤️

Bri was that person that anytime she wanted to try something, she would jump in both feet first and ask questions later. She let nothing hold her back and always looked to better herself or find new activities or hobbies to do. From camping, fishing and kayaking, to quilting, gardening and farming, she always had interests and always looked for something new to do and people to do it with. It was fun talking about passions with her, or having those serious conversations with her when you needed someone to talk to, she was always there. 

Bri was the best friend I've ever had. She was always there from being a shoulder to cry on to making me laugh when I didn't think I could. My life will never be the same without her. She was there for me In ways no one else has ever been. Her and her family welcomed me with open arms when my own family turned their backs on me. A part of my heart will always be with her.
