Sagamartha...glad to have you post, but sorry it is such a sad occasion. 
Today's Obit:
Brianna Murphy
Brianna Murphy, beloved daughter of Robert G. Murphy and Patricia O?Brien Murphy, sister of Matthew Murphy of Grayton Beach, Fla., and New Orleans; granddaughter of Thomas and Anne O?Brien of Sacramento; and predeceased by grandparents, John J. and Frances S. Murphy of New York. Survived by loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
A senior at FSU, Brianna was a lifeguard, music aficionado, dancer extraordinaire and avid horsewoman. She loved riding big waves at the beach, horses and nature, but most of all she loved people. She gave new meaning to the words carpe diem.
An automobile accident took her life but not her love.
In lieu of flowers contributions may be made in Brianna?s memory for a therapeutic horseback riding program for children with special needs. Contributions can be made c/o Sandy Graff, 500 Creekwood Kennel Lane, Freeport, FL 32439.
A visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Clary-Glenn Freeport Chapel Funeral Home, 150 East Highway 20, in Freeport, Fla.
A celebration of her life will be held at St. Rita?s Catholic Church, Santa Rosa Beach, Fla., at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 8. Interment will follow at Gulf Cemetery, Route 393, Santa Rosa Beach, with Father Tom Collins officiating.
Clary-Glenn Freeport Chapel Funeral Home is entrusted with arrangements.

There was a celebration of her life today in Grayton with many in attendance. I was unable to attend, but was there in spirit. Also, tonight at the WaCo show, I saw many tears falling from many eyes -- tears of love for Brianna. Friends were decorating a memorial cross for Brianna with words of love, and Bud and the Ramblers dedicated a song to her.
This tragedy is just one more reminder for us to live life to the fullest because we only know that we are here now. Tomorrow may be a different day. Carpe Deim!

I miss her already. Brianna was a great friend of mine, always shining. She loved music. She is part of the reason why i'm playing music today. I was with her the first time i picked up a mandolin, a cheap epiphone of her brother, Matt's. After noodling on it for a while, Brianna said, "You should play that, I mean really that's perfect for you." Sure enough, here I am! She had that sort of insight on people. A truely pure soul. I am happy to know that she will always be dancing up in the sky for us. As Duke Bardwell said, "She was too sweet for this old world." take care,
