It was th...I remember the first time I met Brianna. It was the first day of sophmore year and I noticed that she was new to school. She was really funny and I had a good time hanging out with her. I remember that shortly after she left off the bus I got a text message from your neighbor ( Gregg Morasco) saying "your cute" I thought it was Gregg being weird but he told me the next day it was Brianna. Well we became friends after that and I enjoyed her company on the bus and during school every day of the year. I consider her one of my very best friends. I miss her so much and I hope you all recieve the flowers I left at your door. Brianna was unique because she could be herself and didn't care about following any trends. She was a trendsetter. She used to bring dorky little pokemon cards to school but instead of giving off the impression of being nerdy she made you want pokemon cards of your own. I will always love and thank Brianna for having brought a smile to my face every single day since I have met her and I will always keep her in my thoughts as I know you will too. If there is any person whom is perfect or close to it, its Brianna and I hope I can one day be as kind and caring as she was.Mitchell Gutierrezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08857266570538622301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7935968288360377725.post-47967375664614068862007-06-17T21:43:00.000-07:002007-06-17T21:43:00.000-07:00May God Bless you and your family, and friends wit...May God Bless you and your family, and friends with strength of body & spirit.

With every giant smile, I will see her smiling. With every paint brush I touch I will be painting for her. She will be in every song I hear, singing and dancing along. But most importantly, Brianna will be with me always through the lessons she has taught me. She has inspired me to be creative and comfortable with myself. I am not the same person I was before I met her and I will never be the same without her.
