Brittany Lilly: Gone but Never Forgotten
Brittany Lilly, Concord University student, passed away in a car accident this past summer.
According to Michael Foreman, Lilly’s boyfriend, Brittany Lilly was a very interesting person. She was always changing her hair color. She always made people smile even though she was a very stubborn person; and she was also the most caring and loving person he has ever met.
Her dream, the best she described to him, was to eventually be in a position to help others in need and make the world a better place by the time she left it.
In remembering Brittany, Foreman said she made everything special in one way or another every day. But if he had to pick just one memory, he said it would be their first night in their apartment because she was so proud and passionate that she was able to say this was her home and he could tell how genuinely happy and excited she was.
Lilly and Foreman met the Fall semester of last year at the financial aid office, but they didn’t really talk to each other that much, but their mutual friend brought her into their group. After that, they hung out and they started talking and eventually things just fell into place for them to start dating.
Foreman says that he is still the same person as before she passed, that he still shares her willingness to make others happy and he still strives to do just that. There is just a deeper passion in his life to help others and make everyone feel appreciated now. He hope that when he leaves this world, it will be with after living a life she would have been proud of.
“I just wish there was better words to describe her because no matter how eloquent of words I can string together to describe her, they won’t do her justice. She was someone you would have had to have known her in person to truly understand just how amazing she was,” Foreman explained.
