I am so saddened to hear of this tremendous loss. I am sorry I cannot be there to celebrate her life and all that she was and her silent impact on many. She was very special to me and I only wish I had spent more time with her in gratitude. I hold old memories of my years with her near and dear to my heart. I know she knows how special her presence was in my life. For all the time, love and attention she gave me, I will be eternally grateful. We have an angel among us. I imagine her smiling and blinking her beautiful eyes. God bless her family and all those who have been touched by her light and life.

Mrs. Brennan and her loving family were a pillar of my childhood. She could bring the love and laughter to any situation. I will never forget how fiercely she loved her family. Mrs. Brennan constantly tried to teach (and model) not to take myself too seriously because life is more fun when we're laughing. I love you all. Thank you for sharing this sweet woman with us. We will be thinking of you, more than ever, during this holiday season.

All of Our Love,
Olivia, Ashley and Arden
