The memory of Brianna Parish hasn't faded, it's getting stronger. The family of the slain 21-year old has created an ad in memory of her on an electronic billboard located at one of Daphne's busiest intersections. The billboard at Highway 181 and County Road 64 thanks the community for their support during the family's unimaginable tragedy.

"It's beautiful," says Brianna's sister, Miranda. "When I first saw it, I couldn't take my eyes of it. I just don't want to stop looking at it every time I go by it."

An executive at Lamar Advertising offered to place the ad on the electronic billboard free of charge.

"He said he'd been praying about something to do to help our family and that this was the perfect opportunity, so he donated it and had it up in a few minutes," says Parish.

Meanwhile, the Daphne Police Department is still investigation Brianna's death. Police have named Troy MacDonald as a person of interest in her murder.

The story is very compelling, and it’s wonderful that Lamar Advertising did this. I have to wonder why the WKRG reporters feel the need to plaster Troy MacDonald’s name on every article they write about this case. I mean you are in America, and he is “innocent until proven guilty” or so you are led to believe that. The point is, until he’s charged, and found guilty, the media should leave this man alone.

My heart and prayers go out to all of Bri’s family and friends. I hope that this is all soon put to rest.
