It is with a heavy heart, we want to let everyone know Brittany passed away just before midnight last night, August 5.
She was not in pain, and was surrounded by Tom, her parents, her brother and his family, myself, Tom’s mom and sister, and several friends. She’s had a wonderful group of people who have been surrounding her, Tom and the family these past few days both in person and from a far, and we will never be able to express how thankful we are for each of you.
While there are truly no words, we know she is at peace and with our Lord in a better place. She was truly the best sister, daughter, wife, friend, coworker, caretaker and so much more than anyone could have ever asked for.
Once arrangements are made, we will share them with for everyone.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
And I am forever grateful for everyone at UTSW these past few days. You all are a blessing.

I cried when she told me her cancer had returned, I think because she felt more like a friend than my clinician. But she always brought the same joy and energy to our meetings even though I’m sure she was tired and in pain. I am…
