Many nieces and nephews also survive. Briana was a waitress most of her life, her bright, cheerful smile lled a room. She had a contagious laugh, there was never a dull moment with her. Her sense of humor was one of a kind. Briana enjoyed playing her numbers (she was always the lucky winner), she enjoyed walking at Sojourner Truth Park, listening to music and also reading. She received her CNA at Boces. She was so proud as we were of her. She was also an amazing cook. Briana was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend. She had an amazing bond with her four grandchildren. You could always count of her. She helped anyone she could even at her own expense. She only cared about happiness. She had an extraordinary giving and generous heart. Her funny, kind hearted soul will be missed dearly. Love always and forever; Travel Buddy, Angellini Tortellinni, Rosie, Ginky, and ThenaBena.
