Miles for Smiles for Brianna Bartalos
Our hearts are heavy here at Rawhide Harley-Davidson at the loss of one of our own. Our beautiful Brianna was taken from us far too soon on Friday morning, July 30th. Brianna was known by her infectious smile throughout the entire dealership and was often the first thing a customer saw when they walked in, and also her outgoing personality that so many came to love. Brianna found her home here at Rawhide Harley-Davidson and so many of us loved her for her steadfast determination to tackle the world.
Brianna was one of those people who wasn't defined by what she did, but rather how she treated others and the all the entangle things. She was ready to jump at the opportunities to try new experiences without the prejudgment of how it could turn out. She had a thirst for learning; be it motorcycles, personal experiences, movies to watch or what sauce to put on her nuggies. Anyone who knew her would know that her coordination that she had for cheer and gymnastics did not tie in to her spunky dance moves that she often loved to show off while working.
The unexpected event has left us with trying to make the best possible arrangements for her. Any donations would be greatly appreciated to help with funeral costs that her aunt Megan and uncle Chris Duckers will be arranging. Any additional donations will be going towards Brianna's younger brother, Braden, for future college expenses as he will be carrying on her legacy. Chris and Megan will be listed as beneficiaries to this fundraiser to help get everything organized and ensure the money goes to the proper place.
