Briana Brownlow (1976-2008)
Briana died in her sleep holding her beloved Marc’s hand last night at 3.20 a.m. Rest in peace, little sister. We will love you and cherish you forever.

When you illuminate your home today for Diwali please light a little candle for her if you can.

So sorry to hear the news, our thoughts are with Marc and family. Rest in peace, dear Bri.
thank you for letting us all know. We only had the pleasure of meeting Bri once, but her blog was such a sunny inspiration. We’re keeping you — as well as Marc and Bri’s family — in our thoughts. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do to help.
She touched so many people and inspired us for our own journeys. Warm thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Saddened to hear this lady’s battle with cancer was too much for her. Rest in Peace.

Such a valiant woman… my heart goes out to Bri’s family and friends. I know there are many people who will feel a deep loss with her passing as she moved so many.
So sorry to hear this, so unfair. Lots of strenght for all her family and friends to come to terms with this.
Oh. That is very sad news; I am so sorry- I kept on hoping. May she rest in peace.
Bri, rest in peace. You and your loved ones are always in my prayers.
Hugs to you, Bee and Jai. Please convey my hugs and prayers to Bri’s family as well.
Oh no! I’m so sorry I never got to know her better. Her writing shined through and showed how glorious her soul was.

What sad, sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
I’m sorry to hear about this…will be thinking of her for sure this Diwali. take care guys, god bless.
On the other side of the world I have awoken to this sad news. Strangely, last night I could not sleep, and around 2am got up and typed an email to another blogger also experiencing cancer. In the email I talked about Bri.I’m sure Bri would have made the most of her short life but it is never enough. I know Bri will never have given up the fight. We don’t. To Bri’s family, and especially Marc, I send loving thoughts to you. May you cherish your memories and hold Bri in your hearts forever.
Reading this brought tears to my eyes. Rest in Peace Briana. May God bless her and her family during this time and always.
I am so sorry to hear that…
May she rest in peace.
So sorry to hear this sad news. You are in my thoughts.
I’m heart sick. I thought she had that bloody thing beat. I am so sorry to hear that it wasn’t meant to be. My heart goes out to her family. The blogging community (as well as many other committies, I’m sure) will never be quite the same.
I am shaken and saddened by this news. My heartfelt condolences to Bri’s family and friends. Its never fair to lose someone near and dear.
I’m so sorry to hear of Bri’s passing. She has no pain now and is at peace. Bless her soul.
Very sorry to hear Bri is gone. Hearing about the kind of person she was, I always felt optimistic about her recovery. She is in my prayers.
Take care, both of you.
Oh no. I didn’t want to hear this news. She really inspired and encouraged me to be a better person. She will always be remembered.I honestly don’t know what to say. Thank you for letting me know.
My prayers are with the family!
Very sorry to hear this news. May she rest in peace…
To honor Bri and with Marc’s approval; I am in the process of establishing
The Briana Brownlow Scholarship for Advanced Plant Spirit Medicine Studies.
PSM was near and dear to Bri and Marc. I will keep you posted.

Heartbreaking. My thoughts will be with her family during this difficult time.
What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited…
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.
These thoughts mean so much to people cancer touched I know.
I am so sorry to hear the news. Hope the family finds the strength to deal with this loss.
Thank you for sharing with us the story of your beautiful friend’s life. May her soul rest in peace.
