The way I live my life is that people who were a part of my early history are gone, but never, ever forgotten. That goes for Brenda´s entire family. We go way back to Rhodell and Tommy Creek, West Virginia. "Blessed be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above."

My condolences are with the Dingess family. I had the great opporunity of meeting Brenda because our sons Henry & Mark were childhood friends and even now through adulthood. Brenda and I use to talk about me joining the Army, she was always a good person to be around. May Our God keep his loving arms around the entire family!
