Remembering Brianna

Remembering Brianna

Family and friends of Brianna Wells held a candlelight vigil for the 15-yearold, who was killed in a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of County Road 320 and A, Monday, Sept. 29.

Balloons were released into the air to begin the vigil, which took place at the scene of the accident. Attendees then lit candles, held each other as they cried, and shared memories of Brianna.

Brianna was a sophomore at Harvard Public School, and was involved in many activities, including volleyball, basketball, show choir, and one-act.

Also in the car with Wells was 15-year-old Abi Conover, a sophomore at HPS, who was life-flighted to Omaha with critical injuries.

A GoFundMe page for both girls has been set up to help their families with any costs that may come up.

Brianna’s page can be found by going to gofundme.com and searching “Help Carly and Family After Tragic Loss.”

Abi’s page can be found on gofundme. com and searching “Help support Shandell & her kids.”
