Dear Nicole, God bless you, your ministry and those killer arms of yours.(smile) My daughter Rose who is seven and I listen to you every morning. I have to take my husband to the bus at 4:00 am and I wake her up to take her with me. Your music calms her so. She sits in her own world and just sings every song on your CD to herself. This morning she became very distubed. She said she is seven and Brianna on "Bye, Bye Brianna" is seven and blind but she can't understand why or how she died. She told me blindness does not make you die as Stevie Wonder is alive (kids thinking. She says she has gone over every word in your song and althought you say you cry you never tell us why Brianna dies. Will you please tell us what Brianna had? Was it a sickness or an accident? My daughter is really deeply concerned and no explanation from me is working? Thank you so much for your time. Your music truly is sent by God. Take Care and God Bless. Also if you have my information from the Administrators would you send her a picture of you for her room? Thank you.

hey, i know i'm not nicole but hopefully i can help. i'm not 100% positive but i am pretty sure that brianna passed away when she was at a camp one summer and she drowned. to be more accurate u could post something for her mom. her mom goes by brianna's mom. try that. sorry i can't be more of a help. have a great day!!

Hello, I just wanted to answer your question about Brianna. In the summer of '03 Brianna went to a camp in Minnesota for blind students. While on a swimming activity Brianna did drown. I'm not sure how or what she was doing or any of the details, but I do know that God chose July 18th to call her Home. She was a true believer and loved the Lord with all her heart. We have such comfort in knowing that she is spending eternity with her best friend. We miss her terribly and just recently celebrated her 10th birthday. But in all the sadness there is such hope in knowing we will be able to see her again! Brianna's Mom

Hey Brianna's Mom! Thats story makes me sad evry time I hear it! Are you making a book about Brianna's life? I remeber you said you might a while back. God Bless, hannah

Oh my goodness Brianna's Mom. Tomorrow at 4:00 am as I am taking my husband to the bus and my daughter is singing your childs name in the dark in the back of the seat of the car I will explain this to her and your child will live on not only in heaven but in the mouth and memory of my little girl and me forever. Thank you so much for responding. God bless you and thank you.

Also Meg thank you for being so kind as to answer. God Bless you.

Thank you so much for taking an interest in Brianna's life. I'm really glad you and your daughter enjoy Nicole's song. It is a wonderful tribute. Brianna had the most fun-loving spirit. There was always a smile on her face and a giggle to go along with it. God showed through her in so many ways. I'm going to look into posting her picture on here somehow.
I also wanted to say that Nicole is a great role model for your daughter, my little girl who is five and a half adores her. She also loves her daughter Jasmine. We recently visited them in Tennessee and had a great time. Nicole is so real and extremely sweet. Her husband and her kids are also great. God Bless You, Brianna's Mom

Brianna's Mom...I just want you to know that your daughter is still helping ppl...through nicole's song...I was suicidal the first time i heard the song...Nicole mentions in the song that there is so much more to life that what you can see...and it changed me...those few words...I've been goin after god since...i've seen him there with me...when i can't afford to eat and when i don't have electricity cause my check wasn't big enough to pay it....Cause there truly is more to life than what you see...and i'm not really sure why i'm sharing this with you....but i feel in my heart that i'm supposed to...anyways...i pray for your family everyday...AJ

Brianna's mom..........I am so sorry! I love that song I am glad I know how it happend. I know it was liek 3 years ago but still I am so so so so so sorry.

dear brianna's mom. i have to tell you of how your little girl has impacted our home here in cincinnati. last year i was pregnant and on bedrest watching nicole preform bye bye brianna on tbn. i cried listening to that song and the strength of the mother having comfort her daughter was in a place face to face with Jesus now with her sight. just a few weeks later my baby girl, Grace was born with a heart defect. grace was placed on a machine that put the oxygen in her body that her heart was unable to do. before the machine though grace went with little oxygen and her brain was damaged that caused her to be blind. it was pretty evident to me and my husband she was blind and was later confirmed by tests. we had 10 days here with our baby girl before God called her home. after she passed nicole was coming to cincinnati and through a hook up we were able to meet nicole. i could barely get the words out about brianna's song and what those words meant to me and my husband and how much comfort we have received from it. when i get down and miss her and grieve about her sometimes i start singing, "see ya in the day light" and keep it going. i thank our Father who has touched Nicole and has ministered to me for years but this past year she will never know how her praise and love for the Lord has kept me going! God does all things well and His plan is so much getter than we will ever under-stand. i wanted to share so that maybe a glimpse of His plan could possibly be revieled to you as to possbily why your baby girl, Brianna was called home and how He could use her for His glory. me and my little boy listen to that song and think they are walking with each other holding hands and playing.
to anyone who would happen to read this please pray for our family as we approach Gracie's first birthday that will follow 10 days later the first anniversary date of her death.
love in Christ

Dear Gracie's mom, First of all I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I know that pain and will definately be praying for you as you celebrate her birthday and the anniversary of her death. What day would be her 1st birthday? This past August we celebrated what would have been Brianna's 10th birthday. At church I had a couple of good friends sing. They sang, "Never Walk Alone" by Point of Grace and "Held" by Natalie Grant. Afterwards we had family and friends over for brunch. Before eating we let balloons go, 10 pink and a whole bunch of white ones. Being with close family and friends made the day easier. Thank you so much for sharing with me how Brianna's song has touched you. It makes me so happy to know that Brianna's faith is still moving people. When Brianna first met Nicole Brianna really didn't know who she was, (I was probably more excited than she was!) but she did think Nicole was really sweet and enjoyed listening to the cd Nicole gave her. Today the picture is so clear to me of why they met. Brianna had a story to tell and God worked in Nicole's heart to share that message with others. We still question Brianna's going Home at such a young age, but we also find comfort in knowing that her faith continues to change lives. Isn't it wonderful knowing our little girls look at Jesus everyday and experience His glory!!! If you ever want to e-mail me please feel free gntbookgirl@yahoo.com How old is your little boy and how is he doing? We have a little girl named Abby, who is 5 and a half. My prayers are with you, Brianna's Mom

Dear Brianna's Mom, our little boy is just about 5 1/2 yrs old. we started a support group last night for children who have lost a sibling. he was 4 1/2 at the time of grace's death. he has a lot of emotions and little understanding on how God could have let her be taken from us. we are trying this now to see if it could comfort him in any way. he also has made comments he feels he did something to cause her death. so we have a lot going on still a year later. but i try to focus on that i know God is preparing us for something that will only glorify HIM! thank you for your prayers and we will continue to remember you and your family in ours.

Gosh! I thank God Brianna's in Heaven with the Lord and God bless you Brianna's mom. I truly enjoyed listening to the words of that song on sunday because it really inspired me about living life totally sold out 4 God in the one we live now.

Hi Missy, I'm so glad you liked Brianna's song. Where exactly are you from? Brianna's Mom

hi I'm jessica i'm sorry about you daugter, i know how painful it is. there is a man who just died he was 42 and was fighting cancer which was near his lungs they couldn't do any thing but give him kemotheripy he has four kids the youngest 7 the oldest 17.i didn't think Brianna was evan real.I lost my pawpaw some years ago and cryed every night saying "God why,why do this to me" my mawmaw was so strong i was so encourged by her strength she told me this"God does things for reasons we may not like but the good thing is that he's in a place were there is no more pain or sorrow so you just dry up those tears"then a year or two after that our pastors grandson was sick and staying over one day his sisters was at school and nanna in another room ,wellthe pastor went to the store and bought some soup when he came back and checked on his grandson he was cold and already dead.the nanna said before he died he was singing "i've gotta home in glory land" you see God does things for special reasons.
