My memories of my beautiful strong funny niece are lots of funny & emotionally moving ones,and inspiring. I remember being at a family gathering & being in so much pain I wanted to cry and I was trying to smile through it like I was fine…but Bre noticed and she came up to me and asked if I was ok & looking up at her sweet face and knowing what she endured daily I immediately decided to shift how I was thinking about my physical pain because if my niece could show up & still choose to enjoy the day,so could I. That whole day she kept coming over & checking on me. She was always thinking of how others were doing & was very thoughtful.  She created the most amazing uniquely cool art,and she was so multitalented in the things that she could create. I always loved the drawings she made me when she was a lot younger & her bracelets. 

She had a witty sense of humor & good comebacks. I always enjoyed all the times we visited with each other and critiques about movies,especially musicals,and food and our texts to one another when she moved. I’m so heartbroken she is no longer here but I’m relieved that she is not in intolerable physical pain anymore. What a beautifully strong inspiring person we were all  fortunate to be loved by. My love is endless for you Breanna. Looking forward to one day seeing you again 💓💙💓💓

My beautiful Bre

I will miss bri as she sleeps while taking that short nap. Brianna took the pain that she bored and endured her lifetime. She didn't let it get in her way of accomplishing her many goals. The two most specific goals that she saw to achieve were first to go to high school and graduate in a normal setting. Second to dedicate her life to Jehovah and symbolize it with water baptism. So encouraging she was to me. I have no worries knowing that Brie is in the care of Jehovah as he has written her name down in his special book. Romans 3:5 🥰😍🥰

My condolences go out to the Finklea family at this most difficult time😥

I had the pleasure of getting to know Breanna. We got to be friends. Even though she was a picky eater, she ate a lot of food like me. I loved just watching her eat.😋

I will miss my dear young spiritual sister but I know that we will be riding a horse together along with many of our friends and family. 🐴🐴

John 29:11; Breanna is now sleeping until Jesus awakens her. 

Bre Bre’s  families and friends will be there to welcome her to Paradise on earth when this exciting event will take place in the near future.

“I love you”💙💜💚

— with Bre Bre and Gracie
A joy is what she was...My forever memory is of Bre and I doing a puzzle together. We would try to beat each other with a piece that fit. She also had a Talent of drawing, I asked who drew this for her ? She said "me" . I was amazed and always grateful for being her grandmother.....can't wait to see her again💞

To the family of precious “Bre Bre”

I would like to express my heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family. It is comforting to know that God is close to the brokenhearted and He keeps our loved ones in his memory, soon “Bre Bre”will be resurrected back to life on earth where God promises no more pain suffering or death. Revelation 21:3,4.

May the God of all comfort give you peace and strength. (Jeremiah 29:11,12)

I have a bitter sweet relationship with Bree.  I say sweet first because she was an exceptional  beautiful young lady. One of my favorite places to go with her was Hobby Lobby. She was excited like she had never been there before, but she'd be cool about it. We'd be there sometimes for 2-3 hours, up and down aisles. Then she'd get inspired  to create her art, whatever it moved her to do.  I loved to look at her making her mind up see the wheels moving........Or our sweet discussions about  Paradise when her mom will be alive,  healthy and she would have a whole healthy body. We would talk about the Paradise running up hills and swimming.

I love all her Art Work!!!...... Can't wait to see her in Paradise,  cooking with her mom, some island food, I loved making chicken with white cheese sauce with plenty of vegies and penne pasta.  She was a bit picky when it came to eat her food, and this meal I knew she would love and she did. That made me so happy, I love my sweet girl, she's in Jehovah memory now. Getting back to the bitter in our relationship..... My heart broke every time  I knew she was in severe pain. Many prayers and asking Jehovah to help her  cope with the pain,  I outpoured my pleas to Jehovah. The last few months I prayed for her to have peace. She has her peace and no more pain.

We, all who love her so much are relieved that she is out of her severe pain. I cant wait to see her with a healthy body and able to hug and love her again. 

Love you Sweet Girl,

Shortly after Breanna was born she was tranfered to Childrens Hospital in Oakland CA. The doctors gave Joy a very grim future saying Breanna   would probably not be able to walk, talk or swallow. Joy had to leave town on important  business regarding her care and asked me to watch over her at the hospital until she returned. I did. The 1st day of my watch, I went to the hospital  gift shop and bought Breanna a Music box doll.  The doll played 'MY HEART WILL GO ON' from the movie THE TITANIC.  Many years later, Joy shared that Breanna cherished the doll and loved it very much...That made my heart so full! Even after countless surgeries, I loved Breanna's incredible resilence and ability  to recover and move forward  with her life.  She was so fortunate  to have very supportive close family members and to have an amazing  mother like my sister Joy to love, protect, and guide her to go on to blossom & become a beautiful and talented young woman who was loved and adored by many.   Since Joy's passing, Breanna had to relocate to live with her sister and family  in So Cal, so I was not able to see her as much as before.  But I have always been  so glad to here of the positive progress she consistently made up until her unexpected  death.  I will always miss and hold dear in my heart her beautiful presence.

I Will Love You Always Bre!

I loved Breanna and treasure the time I spent with her and Camille sitting in on her bible study. She had a tireless spirit through all of the difficulties, pain and surgeries she experienced. It was amazing to see Jehovah strengthen her faith to take a stand for the truth!
It’s incredible to see all the activities, sports and arts she was involved with in this system, but I can’t wait to see her running, jumping and enjoying life to the fullest in the new world soon to come!
Our warm love and condolences go to Camille and all in her family! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Bre was a special person.  I had no idea she had so many talents and skilled mentioned in this obituary!  She was truly gifted beyond the heinous defect that limited her physical abilities.  Looking forward to seeing her again soon when she will fully develop all of her talents to the perfect degree!
