Tribute to a sweet friend- Lariann Bredthauer 1982-2009

On Saturday at 5:30 pm a dear friend of both Brad and I passed away. Lariann (26) will be greatly missed. Lariann was too young to die and she leaves behind her husband Scott and her cute baby girl Lucy (2). Her battle with brain cancer was a courageous one and she wasn't afraid. Lariann was quoted as saying "I know where I am going. I know that I will see my husband and my daughter again. I have faith." I am so grateful for the knowledge I have that families can be together forever. Lariann was funny. She was always cracking jokes and poking fun. Brad and I went to visit her in the hospital after she had her first brain tumor removed. Though she was just about 20 weeks pregnant and had just had major brain surgery she was still smiling, cracking jokes and teasing her husband. We were next door neighbors when we lived in our apartment, team taught the Sunbeam primary class together (those poor kids) and always had fun teasing and laughing at each other. Lariann had the most amazing blue eyes you have ever seen and an equally bright smile. She was a tiny person with a big heart. Love you and miss you Lariann. We will take care of Scott and Lucy till you can be with them again!
