To the parents of Brianda, I was deeply saddened when I read about Brianda's death. I only met her once while at her school but we have communicated numerous times via email. I knew that she was an Aggie Fan and was anxiously awaiting our Aggie Summer Institute to be held in June. The last email from her indicated how eager she was to attend and hoped that she got in. I emailed her back telling her not to worry because I would make sure that she got in. I recently lost a brother and I know how much my mom still hurts over his death so nothing anyone will tell you will relieve the pain. Please know, though, that I admired Brianda for knowing what she wanted and not being afraid to let me know what she wanted. My prayers are with the family and with Brianda. Please let me know if there is anything we can do. Belen Valdez Regional Financial Aid Advisor Student Financial Aid Texas A&M University belenvaldez@tamu.edu Tel 956-371-8116
