“Our Beautiful Angel”
Brianna Helen Kinnear June 30, 1986 - February 3, 2009 My Daughter ~ My Sister My Friend
I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart. It has been four long years since you were tragically taken from us and not a day goes by that our hearts are not heavy with the loss of you. Each day is a constant reminder of how much we miss you and how much our lives have changed without you. We try to let your memories put happiness into our days but they just make us realize we will never have new ones with you and this brings a heartacheness that will never go away.
If heaven wasn’t so far away We’d pack up your puppy and come for the day We’d laugh and we’d sing And we’d dance in the rain. Loving and Missing you Forever, Mommy, Daddy, Scott and your puppy Ferdinand
