Writing about the importance of life was Christ’s passion! While on this earth He not only preached it, He also lived it, and not just lived it but pronounce life to the sick and most vulnerable. When others covered their eyes to avoid the degradation of humanity, and burying their sins escaped from Jesus’s words to help the needy, He revealed to us the necessity to love, to act, to heal the broken hearted. Jesus not only lived fully, He suffered fully, He loved fully, and He died for love for each one of us.
That life was chosen by Brittany. She loved fully.
Brittany a beloved friend, advisor, listener, caregiver, doctor, daughter, sister, and loving wife fought the fight of faith and finished the race!
One of her best attributes was her laughter. I loved to hear her laugh, it was enjoyable and contagious. She became one of my best friends and role models, especially when we all lived in the East Coast. It was also through her that I was blessed to connect to her parents when I moved to California. They welcome me into their home away from home weekend after weekend, and that is where Brittany developed her gift for hospitality. It was a beautiful reminder of when she and her husband would come for lunch and games at my parents home in Massachusetts.
The Bible tells us to be strong and to encourage one another! To live fully, to love fully! God blessed us with a beautiful person and she will continue to inspire me (and others) with the wonderful memories she leaves behind. When we see Brittany again, she will be pain free, and she will be smiling beautifully as she always has. And her voice, the soothing, perfect tone, pronunciation and emphasis… she had “a way” to read the Bible, the voice of a prayer warrior! The voice that carried, wisdom, knowledge, and most importantly deep love for all of us who crossed her path.
I can picture Brittany read in the words of the servant of Christ, Paul:
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
See you soon, Brittz!
