Heaven’s gain was our loss when our angel was called by our Lord on Thursday October 14, 2021 in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Brianna brought joy and happiness to all that met her. Although her time on this earth was short her infectious smile made you forget about the negative things going on around you. Heaven’s gain was our loss. Brianna was a precious little girl that will truly be missed.
