Brianna Leigh Tolin

Brianna Tolin, age 18, of Ruth, MI. Brianna was born June 4, 1993 in Detroit and let go of my hand and grasped Jesus' hand at 3:05pm Wednesday, February 29, 2012. To many in her life people referred to her as a Special Needs child. She was very Special, not because she was disabled, but because she blessed our family for 18 years of happiness, joy and unconditional love.

She is survived by her parents, Tim and Sue Tolin of Ruth; brothers, Brent, Patrick Sean and Gabriel Tolin all of Ruth; sisters, Wendy Tolin of Bad Axe, Megan Walters, Katy Staley and Robyn Tolin of Hazel Park, Bethany Campbell of Pickney, Mindee Dubrico of Marine City, MaKenzie and Kim Tolin of Ruth. Her grandmother, Joan Esposite of Dallas, TX, 3 aunts, 3 uncles,and 19 nieces and nephews and many cousins and friends.

Brianna is preceded in death by her brothers Raphael, Joey and Christopher Tolin, and sisters Aaliyah and Heather Tolin, her maternal grandparents and paternal grandfather.

There will not be a viewing or a service at this time. There will be a celebration of her young life at a later date, as we want to remember her in life, not death.

Cremation services have taken place. Arrangements were handled by Juengel & Mellendorf Funeral Home, Sebewaing.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the funeral home for their love and care to help pay for Brianna's arrangements are appreciated.

Please share a memory.
