I have had a very difficult time since learning of your mom's passing. As you know, I spent a lot of time with her over the years, especially when she came to California. My heart goes out to you John, Wayne, Brenda and extended family. One of my favorite memories is Pat signing "Butter Beans". She never failed to make me laugh and appreciated when I let my devlish side come through. I think of you all often and wish we weren't so far apart.

May your memories sooth the hurt and emptiness and bring warmth and comfort to you during this difficult time. I love you all.

Brenda,
I am truly sorry for your loss. Your mom truly was a very sweet and funny lady. I enjoyed speaking with her and meeting with her many times. I pray that God will ease your pain.

Your oldest son John

As always, I thought of you today and just like days past you were with me in everything I do. With GOD's grace and a little help from Dad you gave me life, comfort and wisdom as a child; something I will keep in my heart forever. I will miss your voice and smile and all the times we had together, but I know you're in better hands now! Something was mentioned about the storm we had Thursday night, (the day you went to be with the Lord) about you meeting up with Dad there in heaven. Hope everything went well; please tell him I've missed him too. I will miss you greatly Mom, love your oldest son!

Brenda, John and Wayne
As a long time neighbor and friend of Brenda I have had many opportunities to share in happy occassions with your family. Your mother was always full of spunk and clearly enjoyed spending time with and serving her family. Know that she has found her reward and awaits your reunion in a better place.
