  2. Bruna was a One of a Kind Woman like no other. She was the best at making the positive out of everything. Bruna stood by my side through many many life events, and many daycare worries. She always lead a helping hand to others no matter what! I remember when she retired from doing daycare she gave everyone everything from her daycare and didn’t want any money for any of it! She just wanted to bless others even if some took advantage of her. She and I had many of the same views and same values in life. I loved Bruna like a sister. She was always there to listen and offer what she could. I will miss our talks and I will miss her daycare advice. I can just hear her now
    “Jen its going to be okay. You got this. don’t worry what others think do what works best for you. That’s what I always did. Jen, remember you are the best” I also remember her Friday reminders. “Happy Friday, remember today is ham sandwiches for lunch and early nap time” Those were reminders she gave me often. Bruna you will be missed. You have made a impact in my life and many others lives. Your legacy will live on forever. To the family much love and prayers.

Gone too soon, but never forgotten! RIP, Bruna 🙏🏽💔🙏🏽

    Such a sad shock to hear about this. Bruna was such an inspiration on fitbit and Stridekick always motivating, always a kind word. Taken too quickly from this world.
    You will be so missed. Fly with the angels beautiful 🙏♥️🕯

  15. I was friends with Bruna through Fitbit and Stridekick and was in many challenges with her.
    We thought it was great when we realized we lived just 90 minutes from each other. She was always kind and encouraging.. If she was this great to know through a fitness App I can only imagine how giving and loving she was to her family and loved ones.
    My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to her family. Rest in peace my friend. ❤️

  16. Bruna was responsible for me joining Fitbit challenges, then the move to Stridekick. I loved chatting in my pigeon Italian to her and sharing photos of our crops – hers were far better, but i blame the English weather for mine.

    The world has a little less colour with the news of her passing. My sincere condolences to her friends and family xx
