Her legacy
Brianna  
Briana was the beloved daughter of Brian J. Soltis, loving granddaughter of Frank Richard (Richie) and Moravia Lynn Soltis, with whom she made her home in Strongsville, Ohio.  She was the Niece of Michelle Soltis McCracken, and Mark Soltis, cousin of Kenneth Jordan McCracken.  Great granddaughter of Reba Chafin Menardi and the late Valentine Menardi, the late Harrison Chafin and the Late Frank and Julia Soltis.  She had relatives in West Virginia where she often visited and wanted to someday make her home with her "Aunt" Lana, and "cousin" Lori.  Her uncle Tom will really miss her and her "cousin" Joey will always love her and miss her.  She was a bright moment in everyone's life who really knew her.  She was loving,  patient, kind and helpful to everyone.  She loved kittens, and riding the golf cart with Justin Marcum (cousin), who will miss her greatly.  She also knew how much she was loved but never knew just how beautiful she was.  She was always told that her face should be on the cover of a magazine.  Her beauty was not only outward beauty, but she had a beautiful soul also. Her Memory will always be in our hearts and our loss is Heavens gain.
