"On Sept. 28, 2013, BriAnna Rose Kruzel, 18, passed away unexpectedly in her home. She left behind her parents, Randy and Tami Kruzel, and two brothers, Josh and Brandon.."

Dedicated to hope, healing and inspiration

"LifeSource created the Gallery of Hope website and iPad app to share stories of saving lives through organ, eye and tissue donation. The stories come from the communities we serve: Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and portions of western Wisconsin. "

I had the pleasure of emceeing the 2nd annual "What Would Bri Do" memorial fundraiser on Saturday (3/14) at the House of Pizza in Sartell. Hundreds of people from across central Minnesota and surrounding states came out to honor the memory of BriAnna Rose Kruzel.

SARTELL - In a candlelight vigil, those remembering a young person no longer in their lives gathered Tuesday evening to dedicate a new angel statue in Sartell.

SARTELL - Reminders are everywhere.

Even at the grocery store, Sartell mother Tami Kruzel thinks of her daughter, who died unexpectedly at the age of 18. BriAnna had this brownie recipe she liked, with marshmallows.
