The Brenize's are my all-time favorite neighbors. I talked to Shelly and Cory a lot when we were a little younger, and Carma is the sweetest woman I know. Andy was a great man and always had a smile on his face. I'll never forget passing him somewhere and him always waving and smiling at me. He'll always be in our hearts. We miss you greatly.
