To lose someone so vibrant, so young, and so full of life is a tragedy that the Fort Plain community will feel deeply for years to come.
On that Monday, what began as an ordinary day turned into a moment that forever altered the lives of those who loved Braylynn. The two-vehicle crash on the Thruway in Albany claimed her life despite the efforts of first responders.

Her absence leaves a space impossible to fill, but the love she shared remains, woven into the hearts of those who knew her best.
Friends describe Braylynn as someone who lived with sincerity and passion. She was a dreamer with determination, someone who navigated life with hope even when things were difficult. She had goals she was proud of, memories she cherished, and a future she looked forward to building.
