A portrait of Breallan Dawne Franks bears the message “Rest In Peace,” her date of birth, May 20, 2000, litsed as “sunrise” and her date of death, “sunset,” Feb. 24, 2025, and a warning.<\/p>\n
“210 people in B.C. die each month from fentanyl. Please don’t be next…”<\/p>\n
It lists the toll free Opioid Treatment Access Line phone number: 1-833-804-8111.<\/p>\n
Her image covers the front of ED’s convenience store in Brookswood on 42 Ave. just west of 208 St., applied to a temporary wooden facade installed after thieves smashed their way into the store using a van in September.<\/p>\n
When repairs to the store facade are completed, the plan is to relocate the image to a permanent location, Breallan’s father, Rob Franks, explained.<\/p>\n
“I’d like to recognize the fact of having an opioid crisis in our community,” Franks told the Langley Advance Times.<\/p>\n
“It’s not something to joke about. I’ve lost many of my loved ones including my little brother, 10 years ago.”<\/p>\n
