I hope Heavenly Father has given you a few moments to take a break from heaven’s nursery—where I imagine you are tending to all the babies—to be here with us today, and to see just how deeply you are loved.

Brielle YOU did it! You are incredible! We talked often about believing that one day you would be able to run, and though I desired your healing earthside, I absolutely believe that you ran straight to Jesus.

It’s not very often that a mother has the privilege of welcoming their baby into the world, hearing their first breath, and then has the sacred honor of escorting them home, as they take their last.

Your smile, faith, passion, soft-heart and joyful demeanor, attracted millions of people from all over the world, and brought them to Christ. We often receive messages that state, “I’ve never prayed before, and I’m not even sure I’m doing it correctly, but I pray for your daughter.”

I recently read that before we came to earth, that “if we were scared or nervous about anything, it was birth, not death. None of us would have chosen to come to earth without the reassuring promise that it was a round trip, and not a one way ticket.”
•
This thought has become comforting to me. Maybe before we came down here, we thought about everything we would have to experience in this life, the opportunities we would get, the beautiful people we would meet, the hardships we would face, and still, all of that felt SO worth it, because it would make us more like God. Death probably didn’t feel scary. We knew that eventually we would “get” to die, and return back home.

I can only imagine the things Brielle wanted to learn in this life, the hearts she knew she would touch, the lives she would changed, all because her soul wanted to experience something otherworldly.
•
Brielle, it is such an honor to be your mom. Your purpose on earth was fulfilled, and I sure am jealous off the angels.
•
You did it Brielle, you did everything with grace! Thank you for being an inspiration to so many.

I do believe I have been changed for the better, because I knew, I have been changed for good.
