Tim and Tam,
I truly think that Aunt Brenda was a great person. I know that we don't get to see each other as often as we should even though we live so close. I feel so grateful that we got to go down for the picnic on July 4th. I just wish that my kids had the opportunity to know her...she was taken away way to soon, as was her brother. We will never forget any of them...forever in our hearts.

I was shocked to hear the knews of Brenda's accident. I am very sorry for your loss. She was truly a great person and loved by many. I will always cherish her smiling face as i would pass in the hallway or when she came to my office, the remarks she would make to always put a smile on my face. The goodies she would bake and bring in to share with so many. She always kept me in line and knew when i was up to no good and would call me out on it telling me to be good. coming down SDS hallway will just never be the same. She will truly be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

So many people who knew Brenda are in so much pain right now,there are no words that can make it better. We all need to remember that she was an extremely wonderful person who gave so much to so many,and that will never be forgotten. She is with her husband now and all of her pain is gone. We will all meet up with her someday but untill then,remember all the good she did and all the love she gave. She will NEVER be forgotten. Aslo, please know that if any of you need anything,we are only a phone call(or a few steps) away. WE personally(along with so many others) are missing Brenda! Her shoes can never be filled!!!
God love each and every one of you that is hurting now....Brenda will be sadly missed by many.
