I am praying for a full recovery for this beautiful young lady.All though I may not know this family,I have 6 children of my own and I could never imagine what this family is going through at this time..It’s just heartbreaking this person that cause such injuries has no conscious or concern to face his or her consequences. Please do what’s right for this family.My prayers and thoughts are with y’all
Our prayers and thoughts go out to this young lady and her family. There have been a lot of pedestrians hit on Pine Forest this year and last when are we going to see some change here? I’m talking about sidewalks and street lights!!! There are large areas of Pine Forest that are pitch black at night and you would have no way of seeing people cross those roads until you are right on top of them. I hate driving that stretch at night and avoid it as much as I can even though I live really close to it, just for this reason.
TIm, I am very sorry to hear this about your daughter, your family is in my thoughts and prayer. Your UPS driving school rooommate,,,
This is Brianna’s aunt. She is at Shands in Gainesville. Had be sent there for treatment she needed was not available in Pensacola. She is still very critical and they are doing what they can. I truly believe she will pull through but has a long long recovery. Our poor baby girl has so many serious broken bones we are not sure of outcome of these but all internal by God’s grace she has no organs damaged which had to be God intervened putting His protected hand around her. God will continue to do miracles on her he has great plans for her life. Just going to be very long more surgeries and extensive physical therapy. Thanks to everyone for all your prayers and positive thoughts.
We hope for the best when we pray, but rarely get an update. Thank You for letting us know how she is doing.
Poor girl. I have been praying for her every night. Such a tragedy for a beautiful young lady with a whole life of promise ahead of her. Hang in there Brianna, you got this, life isn’t over. Get better and stay strong. Much love from NE.
Our heart and prayers go out to her and family. Any way leo might check outside cameras from business, might catch a glimpse of vehicle at that time of morning. Like Publix, starbucks, Circle K, Walmart Market? Somebody had to see something I pray that guilt eats them up to turn their self in.
