The Brittany Gehrlein Memorial Scholarship
|
|
This scholarship fund was established by the family
of Brittany Gehrlein. The purpose of the
scholarship is to honor the memory of Brittany by
awarding to qualified students of the Bay Knoll
School a token of the school's esteem for hard work
and committment to service exemplified by those
students.

Brittany Gehrlein was the young daughter of Robert
Gehrlein of Webster, New York, who was stricken
and succombed at a very young age with an inoperable
brain tumor. Brittany was an inspiration, even
at her young age, to all who came in contact with
her. While undergoing numerous uncomfortable
and often painful treatments and procedures, and
seldom understanding why, she always had a beautiful
smile for everyone and was a pleasure to be around.
Her bright, buoyant spirit in stark contrast
to her terminal condition exemplified the attitude
all Christians should have when confronted with the
vagaries of this sinful world.
