From Brianna's Family -
Thank you for your overwhelming support and sympathy. We are reading all of your messages and finding comfort in them all...God bless you all for taking our precious girl Brianna into your heart and sending unending prayers which have blessed us with more love and faith in the human spirit and compassion that reaches far and wide.

All are welcome to attend a funeral Mass at St.Raphael Catholic Church (also in Naperville) on Wednesday, July 29 at 10 AM. Interment will immediately follow at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Cemetary. Upon returning to St. Raphael Catholic Church there will be a luncheon beginning around noon. You are welcome to celebrate Brianna's life and view photos, videos, artwork, and stories about Brianna. You may also want to bring a photo or write a short note about a fond memory you have of Brianna. Come and Celebrate her stong finish to a very difficult race!

There were so many wonderful and kind words of sympathy and support, we are just overwhelmed as our hearts overflow with love for Brianna, but also for everyone of you who found a special place in your heart for our sweet girl, Brianna. i will like to share many beautiful poems that people have shared, but I will have to do so at another time. If you haven't taken time to read through the other messages people send, they are also inspirational by their deep faith citing scripture as well as finding the most appropriate words, poems, or expressions that lift us up everyday.
We look forward to seeing you so that we may celebrate Brianna's life and share some of her never-ending, never-having a point stories....one area where she failed to "finish the race" she could never finish a story!
God Bless You and Brianna is too!

I came upon Brianna's page through Cora's Blog and have followed every day checking several times a day for updates. She sure was a fighter and has a wonderful family! Peace be with you all of you.
I also came upon Brianna's page through Max Lacewell (my children go to Naperville Gymnastics where we learned about him). My heart goes out to him and Brianna and all of their families, what brave little angels and fighters they were. I have been following Brianna's page weekly as well, keeping her in my thoughts and prayers. She seemed like such a beautiful little girl with such a loving mommy and family. I have a six year old daughter, and have cried reading your blogs while putting myself in your shoes. As a mother, my heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing your story and for being so courageous. My heartfelt thoughts are with you and your family, may you find strength and peace during this time.
Also, I have been so touched with Brianna and Max's fight for their race. I am running the Chicago Marathon in Oct. with the Make-A-Wish Foundation... and will be keeping Brianna and Max in my thoughts as my motivation for my training and my race.
Just want to say that my heart and prayers go out to your family. I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through, be consoled that she is with our Lord and his Father above. We are all blessed to have been touched by this little angel. May you all be comforted by his loving grace. My families heart and prayers are with you all. God Bless
