Hi Sis, even though it has been 10 years since you went to be with the lord, I still think of you and miss you dearly. I'm sure you are aware, I lost my husband exactly two years ago tomorrow.

To the family of Mrs. Brenda Gist;
My condolences. I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget the fun times Brenda and I shared while studying for our Bachelors @ WU. Brenda was a very sophisticated lady, and didn't sweat the small stuff. I used to call her "Ms. Cool Breeze".
She will surely be missed. You all are in my prayers.

Mrs. Brenda you were such a joy to have in class. Your smile will be missed. Those of us( WU grads) who got together one last time were so blessed just to be in your presence. Its hard to believe that you were laughing and talking with us on saturday, and gone to be with your maker two days later. But whose to say when our hour will come, be it at noon day or midnight. Heaven just got a little more brighter with your light. To the family, you are in my prayers in this time of sadness.
