i need you back in my life, i need you by my side.  / Steph DeGiorgio (friend)

Brianna-

Although I haven't been on this website in a really long time doesn't mean that you don't cross my mind every single day. We end school in about a week. This year has gone by so quickly! I miss you so much and wish that you could be here to help me through my upcoming high school experiences. Bri you're so greatly missed and loved. When I think about it, I still can't believe that this happened. I still don't get why God chose you, none of us do. Hopefully one day we can turn back time and undo this horrible nightmare. I'll love, remember, and miss you forever. Love, Steph

we miss you  / Carly (friend)
Brianna, Everyday everyone is thinking about you. Your family and friends miss you so much. You really were a very special person. Keeping smiling. Love, Carly Close

Rest in Peace<3  / Missing You (friend)
brianna,
i miss you so much. i still cant believe that this terrible accident ever happened. Its so hard to think that things like this are still happening to people. Why do people drink and drive? Why do people even drink at all? I'll never know the answers to those questions, but I do know that its horrible. You were always so good and kind to everyone and your smile made everyone happy. You were such a perfect girl, the world was just waiting for you to make it a better place. You have helped me in so many ways that I can't describe. Whenever I think about you I always have to work harder and try new things and study, like you would have done. My grades have improved so much thanks to you and whenever I make a decision, even the smallest one, I think of you and i look at my SADD bracelet and know what the right choice is. When I come onto this website I have to turn the music off because it reminds me of those first few months, the hardest ones, when I'd come here everyday for hours just looking at the pictures of you and crying. It's not fair. I miss and love you so much. I still wonder what it would be like to see you in the hallway now or what colleges you would be applying to. I look back at your favorite songs which were the Jesse McCartney ones and i feel like those came out so long ago. And they did. You never got to listen to all the new music or new movies that came out. I think you would have enjoyed a lot of it.
Rest in Peace Brianna and I miss you<3 Close

3 years and its still hard  / Pablo Rodriguez (cousin)
I can't believe that it's already been 3 years. It feels like it was yesterday that we were scuba diving in belize and playing with coconut. It's been so hard especially since Corrina died. It was right around the same time that you were taken from us and it is so hard to deal with. I am getting by though, I'm doing really well in pole vaulting up at Northeastern and Im doing better in school now. It really helps me to know that you are up there watching over me and I now that when times are tough you are here right by my side. I really hope you met Corrina up in heaven you guys are so much alike and I think that you would make really good friends. I just want you to know that I love you and miss both of you guys so much and I will see you one day. Just keep me safe and if you can come to one of my meets and know you will enjoy watching them.

3 years<3  / Olivia Fonti (friend)
Hey Bri,
How is it up in heaven? It's been three years that you've been there as of today. And personally, I cannot say that a day goes by where I do not think of you. I love you just as much as I did the last day I saw you, February 18, the last day before Winter Break. I still miss your infectious laugh and your beautiful smiling face. But I know that you are okay. I know that you are watching over us. I do not know what else to say at this point, except that I love you and miss you so much. We will see each other again one day, but until then continue to watch over us. Laugh at us when we make stupid mistakes. Keep us safe from harm. And know that we all love you. You are a one of a kind who I will never forget And you will always hold a special place in my heart, Bri.
Love, Olivia Close

3 years is still feeling as hard as yesterday.  / Steph DeGiorgio (friend)

Hey Bri.

Its been exactly three years today, although its still as hard as if it happened yesterday. This tradegy has touched so many people, even the ones who didn't know you personally. This is because everyone knew how beautiful, smart, atheltic, friendly, & talented you were. You brought so much joy to so many different lives. You worked hard, were so nice, & "gifted" in many different ways. You were & continue to be most of the girls at Cold Spring Harbor's role model. There was so much more you could've done, you had so much potential. What happened was so unfair. It was unfair to not only us, but you. You couldn't believe how much people miss you. There is not one day that goes by that people don't think about you, those people love you. Brianna, you were great & because of someone else's mistake, you, as well as all of us missing you, are suffering. I love you Bri..and miss you so much. Rest In Peace Forever.

-Steph<3

Brianna- I miss you every day. i think about what happened and how unfair it was. i only wish it never happened and that things could be fine again. I dont know how it has been 3 years. it does not feel like it. It feels like only yesterday i was with you at hockey practice, making everyone laugh. i love and miss you- Hadley Close

"I miss you, I miss your smile. And I still shed a tear every once in a while. And even though were different now, your here somehow, my heart won't let you go, and I need you to know, I miss you." - I Miss You..Miley Cyrus


Hey Bri,

I've been thinking about you so much lately. I don't know why but you have been coming to mind more often than usual. I guess maybe its because its coming close to that horrible Feb. day three years ago. There was so much more I wish I could have told you. I had no idea that I was never going to be able to see your gorgeous smiling face again. I pray for you all the time and hope that someday, a miracle wil happen and somehow, someway, you will be brought back to us. I miss & love you so much. 

Love,
Steph Close

Merry Christmas Eve! <3  / Stephanie DeGiorgio (friend)
Hey Brianna!

Christmas 2007 is tomorrow! Merry Christmas! Its so hard to think that you aren't able to share it with your family and friends. We all miss you and are so grateful to have been part of your lives. Merry Christmas Bri<3

So the other day we had a SADD meeting and I thought of a good idea that I shared with Ms. Innella. I thought since we did pink hair extensions for Breast Cancer in October, why not do green for you in February. The whole SADD club loved the idea and we plan to do this on February 27th or 29th. 

Anyway, Merry Christmas! I hope you have a really good one. I love you. xo

Love,
Steph <3 Close

rest in peace angel <3  / Kat Blumin (met a few times )

I will always remember you angel ♥ keep watching over us. rest in peace xoxo

SADD / Stephanie DeGiorgio (friend)
Hey Bri, 

We had a SADD meeting today and I was thinking about you the whole time. I had a good idea. We had this thing that a bunch of people got pink hair extensions for breast cancer in October. I thought why not do green ones for you in Feb.? I talked to Ms. Innella about it and she said she thought it was a great idea. I later talked to your mom and brother to see what they thought and they both agreed and said it was a good idea. So I just thought I should let you know what we may be doing. I miss you soo much. 

Love,
Steph DeGiorgio Close

Miss You  / Stephanie DeGiorgio (friend)
Brianna,
I heard this song today a couple of times on the radio. I don't know the name but it really reminded me of you. It was a song about a girl who was someone who everyone wanted to be. Just like you. Also my mom got an e-mail a couple of days ago that made me cry. It made me cry because I thought it was the saddest thing ever, especially since we lost you. The e-mail was about a girl who went to a party and everyone started drinking and she didn't. Her mom told her that she would regret it if she wound up drinking and she listened to her mom and didn't have anything other then sprite. On the way home from the party she was driving by herself when all of the sudden a car coming from the other dirrection crashes into her. She wokeup all bloody and cold and crying. All she wanted was her mom. She wanted to tell her how much she loved her and thank her for the good advice. In the end, the girl past away. This is an example of how dangerous drinking and driving is. Something very similiar happened to you almost 3 years ago. I just wanted to let everyone who reads this know, please don't drink and drive and don't let a friend do it either. Brianna, I miss you and love you so much. Keep smiling and watching out for everyone. love, steph degiorgio<3 Close

Brianna / Carly Schuller (Family Friends )
Brianna, When I look through this site, it makes me feel so happy but so sad. It makes me feel happy that so many people say loving words and care about you, but so sad that these memories could not last. I only meet you a few times, but I always knew you were a funny girl and you were always smiling. Your smile changed the world and stays in everyones hearts today. RIP <3 love carly schuller Close

its still hard.  / Stephanie Degirogio (friend)
Brianna, 
I can't believe this. I still can't believe it. Its been two whole years and i'm still here crying over you. I miss you so much and I can't believe something so horrible could happen to someone so great, let alone anyone. You were special Bri and everyone knows it. You were an amazing person who everyone wanted to be friends with. I remember the first time I met you. It was at Lloyd Harbor School and we ran into each other in the hallway. We both fell and started laughing. Thats when you became my friend. Everytime I saw you after that you always ran up to me and hugged me, no matter where we were. Its amazing how things can change so fast. God must of really wanted you Bri, just like everyone else. We put up the SADD tree of life for you about two weeks ago. Every time I walk past it during the day, it makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. Sad because I miss you, but happy because I feel like your with me in a way. Thanks for always being there and no matter what I will always love you.
Love,
Steph<3 Close

Brianna,
Happy Birthday! Today you should be celebrating your sixteenth birthday but because of stupid mistakes other people have made, you sadly don't have that opportunity. Sixteen years ago today something great happened to the world, you were born. You brought laughter, smiles, and joy to Cold Spring Harbor. You have done so much for so many people and we all thank you. Thank you for being a great friend, a great role model, and just a great person.

Sweet 16  / Doesn't Matter

For the last 6 months, I have been thinking that this particular birthday is going to be extremely hard for your family to get through. Next Sunday should be your sweet 16 and all I can picture is this beautiful blonde, smiley-faced, bouncy young lady walking into a room filled with people there to celebrate her 16th birthday. And this is not going to happen because of the lack of responsibility of others. 
I cry for your family and pray for peace for their souls to get them through their days. Continue to look down on them and send your hummingbird to your mom everyday.
XOXOXOX
