Brianna Mariah Lopez

To paraphrase "Suffer Little Children" by The Smiths:

"Oh Las Cruces, so much to answer for..."

The manner of Baby Brianna's death and the people responsible for it made me ashamed to say I was from Las Cruces.

RIP, Brianna.

BRIANNA JUST KNOW THAT THE WORLD IS MISSING YOU .I WOULD TRADE SPOTS WITH AND YOU WOULD HAVE MY SPOT .I THINK THE WAY UR FAMILY TREATED YOU WASN'T A GOOD WAY OF SAYING I LOVE YOU .I HOPE WHERE UR AT IS A GOOD ENVIROMENT FOR YOU AND THAT UR IN GOOGD CARE.GOD KNOWS WHAT U BEEN THROUGH SO HE HOLD U IN HIS ARMS AND KEEP U SAFE .                              I <3 YOU 4EVER AND 4 LIFE

It hurts so much to write these words as you should be here with those who truly loved you. Since hearing of your story you have yet to leave my thoughts. I can't imagine what you were going through at such a young age, but glad you are at peace now. I often wonder what would've been if you were still in that home and sad to say only dark thoughts are what I see. The rape, abuse and torture would only get worst so God knew what had to be done. We will never know how you looked alive and happy (if ever) but I see your smiling face everytime I close my eyes.

Rest my darling,
I hope to meet you one sweet day. 

Une fois de plus je viens te laisser un petit message . Je pense que tout va pour le mieux avec toi . J'ai toujours un petite pensée pour toi à mon réveil, parfois un larme en repensant au mal qu'on a pus te faire subir. Mais maintenant tu es parmis tes mai(e)s les Anges.  Je te fais de énormes BISOUS mon peit Ange . <3

Hello beautiful angel , it has been a couple of days since i heard about your story and i can't stop thinking about you. I have a 6month old baby and i can't imagine anybody wanting to hurt somebody so tiny. You have a very special place in my heart baby girl , i will pray for you everyday chiquita hermosa. I would have loved to have been your mommy so that i could fill you with love . I hope that now as you are in heaven with jesus you find yourself happy , you were so beautiful. I will never forget about you princess , you will always be in my heart. I just hugged my baby real tightly and warmly , i send that hug to you baby brianna. May you rest in peace Beautiful Angel. 

baby brianna,hola bebe yo se que hoy estas en buenas manos,sabes desde que mire tu historia la verdad que no tengo palabras para explicar lo que ciento,es terrible pero sabes estoy aprendiendo muchicimo,gracias a dios tengo 5 hijos mi bebe tiene hoy dia 7 meses una linda bebe como tu y en cada detalle que le doy y que me da se refleja tu rostro,todos los dias pienso en ti y la verdad no puedo contener las lagrimas ciento mucho dolor en mi corazon,como pudieron hacerte tanto dano quienes supuestamente te deberian de cuidar no tienen perdon de dios,todos los dias le pido a dios por ti que realmente se haga justicia divina,pero tambien le agradesco que estas con el y no en este mundo cruel lleno de odio y maldad,nadie volvera a hacerte dano,que dios te bendiga bebe bonita y descansa en pas,te quiero mucho y por siempre estaras en mi corazon,un abraso y un beso con todo mi amor<3

Sweet little girl.....Ich wünschte ich könnte die Zeit zurückdrehen und Dir helfen und Dich beschützen, vor all`dem Leid und den Schmerzen, die Dir diese Monster angetan haben. Wie kann eine Mutter so etwas zulassen...die Augen verschließen und ihrem Kind diese furchtbaren Dinge antun? That makes me sad and angry. We think of you every day and hope you`re on a better place, where you have never hurt again. Hope you`re smiling, playing and loughing with other children. You`re allways in our hearts and never forgotten......we send you hugs and kisses

Hi Brianna,

 

Just yesterday I became familiar with what happened to you. I was so distraught that I could not sleep. My heart, soul and prayers go out to you. I am ashamed to be part of the "great country" right now. We have ppl walking on the moon, we have ppl fighting other countries battles, but yet we cannot save our very own, our own that cannot defend themselves.I pray that you have finally found a home in heaven. The only mistake that you ever made was being born to those horrible retched "parents" of urs. I will keep you in my thoughts and heart daily. Because of your "life" I now know I can be the best parent each and every day, hoping this brings you comfort and happines, something you lacked in life.May God keep you by his side and nourish you with eternal love.

XOXO
Patty

It's sad that u  were born in da day of love ...feb 14 , a true angel n received none from your parents . U were so innocent with lots of love to give, how can they do such thing to such a precious little baby. It brought tears to my eyes to hear ur story, can't believe how sick those adults were, they don't even deserve to  hold the title of parents ....cus parents they never were. parents shelter their  kids from harm, love n take care of them n live in fear of losing their child . But now ur with da best father ever he will never hurt u baby girl n has u enjoy a happy everlasting life ......those animals dat did dat to u will suffer forever in hell . R.i.p Brianna  ~ LITTLE CUPID <3

i just wanted to say



I LOVE YOUBRIANNA WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

December hasn't changed
This town looks the same
They still light their tree in the city square
There's red, white, and green shining everywhere
And I wish you were here
And I wonder......

Is there snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
I wonder..... what Christmas in Heaven is like

There's a little manger scene
Down on Third and Main
I must've walked right by it a thousand times
But I see it now in a different light
'Cause I know you are there

And I wonder......
Are you kneeling with shepherds before him now
Can you reach out and touch his face
Are you part of that glorious holy night
I wonder..... What Christmas in Heaven is like

Is there snow falling down on the streets of gold
Are the mansions all covered in white
Are you singing with angels silent night
Oh I wonder.... What Christmas in Heaven is like

---

Another Christmas in Heaven for you Angel.
You are missed though.
Always & Forever.
Each Christmas, like each day,
I carry you and your story and your life with me.
Always in my heart.
Always and Forever.
Please take care of all the children who are
spending their first Christmas in Heaven this year.
Help them to make it through.

You are Missed, Loved,
Never Forgotten.

merry xmas baby girl

wwe love you sooo much

I am so sad to hear about cases like this where parents that have kids and dont know how how much of a blessing it is to be able to have them comming from a person that has trouble having kids i would have gladly tookin her in and gave her the life she deserved unlike her ungreatful family how could someone do that to a innocent child and how could someone sit there and let it happen to their grandchild thats so cruel and heartless if you cant hhandle taking care of a child you brought into this world then either be careful and use protection or give the baby to someone who would love to take care of it dont kill it my prayerg go out to all the children in the world tat have passed and that are still living i just hope no one will ever have to go through what she had to

Oh baby girl - you were such a beautiful baby, you should have never had to suffer as much as you did.....I am so upset and so angry, just learning about your life and how short it was for no reason.  In my mind, I picture your beautiful face, the picture where all of your bruises have been erased and I hold you tight, your cheek against mine and kiss your tiny little ear.  That is the kind of love you deserved....I am so sorry nobody was there to help you.  You will forever be in my heart and in my mind.  Rest in peace beautiful baby, we all love you so very much....you will never be forgotten.

our arms are ur castle
our hearts is ur sky
they  wipe away tears that you cry

My heart grieves for you so. This world failed you so terribly. My heart is full of grief for your pain and suffering you knew much of that in your short time here. I promise to dream for you to live for you, and to carry you with me every single day. I want some thing speacil for you this little baby born on the day we celebrate love. You blessed and graced the world just coming into it. Forgive us for not protecting you. I love you Brianna. <3

Tu ressemble à ma petite-fille Noémie, tu es aussi jolie qu'elle. J'aurais tellement aimer pouvoir te protéger contre ces monstres, mais là ou tu es maintenant, personne ne peut plus te faire de mal.
Repose en paix BABY BRIANNA"XOXOXO

              I LOVE U MISS U

I didn't know they were hurting you, we were separated by space and time.
When I found out they hurt you, I cried like you were my own.
I wish I knew they were hurting you, I would have taken you far away.
Away from the horrible nightmare you never deserved.
I would have shown you the love you never had,
always protect you, and never make you sad.
I'm so sorry they didnt give love, but we give ours.
Youll always be our sweet baby and we would have saved you
We just didn't know.
-JM


So hard to read little Brianna's story. I have a daughter who is the same age that little Brianna would be. My daughter was also premature like Brianna and my daughter looked very much like Brianna does in her clean "sleeping" picture.

I remember seeing my daughter in the intensive care ward and trying to cry, but she couldn't because tubes were in her throat. It absolutely killed me that she was crying to me and I couldn't make her pain go away.

I remember her being less than a year old and her favorite thing was to ride on daddy's shoulders. We were visiting my mother's house and didn't realize her ceiling was so low. She was hit by the ceiling fan. I felt awful....daddy hurt her. I must have held her for every possible minute that I could for the next two days..

I can't imagine a parent hurting their children. As a father, I especially can't imagine how a father could hurt his daughter.

I only read about little Brianna today, but I'll always remember her. I wrote that little tribute above for her.

Dear Baby Brianna,

       My name is Priscilla, I'm from El Paso Tx. I still remember hearing of these horrible events that took place at your home. I am so sorry that yo had to endure this pain. I was happy to found out in Oct. 2002 I was expecting, & it was going to be a girl!!! When my husband asked me what did I want to name our baby I said Brianna!! I wanted your memory to live in my daughter & to know you are not forgotten & never will be. I Love You & know I pray & think of you everyday.

 dear baby,  i just heard about your story .   i'm so sorry.atleast now you're in peaceful place with dear jesus!  no bruises,no pains, no aches!  i promise to take my part to stop child abuse !   

I'm so srry brianna i am so crule to you i haven't written to you since 2 months ago. can you forgive me please.I promise when im old in of to travel by myself and can take care of myself and also that i have enough money i'll go to new mexico and give you the biggest buquet of flowers just for you.I cross my heart until i die that i will make sur to vist u at least everyday .I PROMISE<3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
