Brenda,
I watched you care for my brother with the love and support only you could give him. He loved you so much and in his way he showed you in countless ways.....when you left his side for a short period, he said upon your return, "missed you". He asked you to pray with him and he knew you would because you loved him and he you. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful woman to care for my cherished brother the way you did and still do. He has to be smiling down at you and the kids for all the tenderness you bestowed upon him in his hours of need. I know he will always watch over us now.
Love you,
Paula
