I am so sorry to read of the passing of Brittany. My name is Nathan Treloar, and I spent some time working with Brittany when she first came to LoSeCa. Although it has been a few years since I worked with Brittany, I still have many fond memories of her. She had a great smile, and loved Mrs. Doubtfire like no I could have ever imagined! I still have a card she made for me when I moved on from the program.
I valued the insights about your daughter that you shared with me Karen. The drive you had to give your daughter a good life against all odds has always stood out for me. I am really truly sorry for the loss in your family.

I stumbled across Brittany’s obituary tonight and was terribly saddened to learn of her passing. Brittany was an absolute angel when I worked with her many years ago. Her pure spirit really touched me, and the love in your family for each other inspired me. I remember how she loved her family. I also remember how ecstatic she was to have a special dance and music party for her 15th birthday at the community hall with her friends. She was truly blessed to have such a loving mom and sister and other family members in her life and I will never forget her bubbly personality and joyous spirit. Know she touched many lives in her too short time..
