It is with profound sorrow that we mourn the tragic loss of Gracie Brito and Elizabeth Angle, two bright young lives taken far too soon in a devastating sledding accident in Frisco, Texas. The community is devastated by the loss of these remarkable 16-year-old girls, whose friendship and vibrant spirits touched everyone around them. Our heartfelt condolences go out to their families, friends, and everyone affected by this heartbreaking tragedy.
Elizabeth Angle’s mother shared a touching message, expressing her comfort in believing her daughter and Gracie are now together forever in heaven. Elizabeth was a beloved student at Wakeland High School, known for her kindness and radiant personality. Gracie Brito, an All-Star cheerleader at Express Cheer, was celebrated for her bubbly nature, creativity, and strong sense of friendship. She recently earned her driver’s license and was an organ donor, exemplifying her generous spirit and love for life.
The tragic incident occurred when the girls were riding a sled pulled by a Jeep Wrangler, which struck a curb and then a tree, resulting in catastrophic injuries. Elizabeth passed away shortly after being rushed to the hospital, and Gracie remained on life support before succumbing to her injuries. The loss of these two young lives has left a void in the hearts of family, friends, and the entire community. Their friendship, characterized by deep connection and mutual love, was a shining example of youthful innocence and companionship.
As the investigation continues, our thoughts are with the families as they navigate this unimaginable grief. The community stands united in mourning, and we honor the memories of these two beautiful girls—whose warmth, kindness, and vibrant spirits will forever be remembered. Their love for life, their friendship, and their dreams serve as an enduring reminder of the preciousness of each moment.
We extend our deepest sympathies to the Brito and Angle families. May they find comfort in the love and support surrounding them during this difficult time. Gracie and Elizabeth’s light may have been brief, but their impact was profound. Their memories will live on in the hearts of all who knew them, and their spirits will forever be missed but never forgotten.
