My thoughts and prayers are with Frank and the family as they go through this difficult time. I will always remember Brenda with a smile on her face and a laugh that was contagious. Playing soccer with her was always fun, but it was after the games when we sat around and just laughed and talked about everything...and I mean everything! I now we embarrassed Frank and other husbands more than once! I know that you are in a much better place, and I know that it is more beautiful now that you are in it.

In Our Hearts
We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday and days before that too.
We think of you in silence and often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake, with which we will never part.
God has you in his keeping, we have you in our hearts.
You will be forever in our thoughts and in our hearts

I will truly miss Brenda. She was a long time soccer teammate of mine and a game wasn't complete without Brenda there. She was always dependable in every way and I loved her humor and wit. She touched many people in her life and I hope the good memories I have of her are also part of the good memories others will keep. I wish Brenda peace. May God keep her family strong during this transition.

Peggy's right! We did have some good times. Whenever I dream I'm playing soccer, you are always on the field, Brenda. Thanks for the good times.

Brenda, We all got too old to play soccer, or just too out of shape. But, we sure had some great times. Your perserverance and good nature made you so much fun to be team mates with. I sure will miss you. Love, Peggie
