Memories and Condolences

I just wanted to tell the Metz family that Brenda touched people in many communities throughout Ohio due to the travel sometimes required by her job. I was lucky enough to be one of those people, and have enjoyed a friendship with Brenda for many years now. Like others, I was unable to attend the funeral. However, we all share in common the knowledge of how much you, the family, meant to Brenda. I wish that I could take the love that she always expressed for you and use it to somehow comfort you now. You really did mean everything to her and should know how much joy you brought to her life. I don't know anyone else who talks so frequently and lovingly about their family. I'm sorry it was a short time that Brenda was here, but it sounds like you and she made the most of it. My sincere condolences once again.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I worked with Brenda several years ago when employed at Frank Gates and experienced my first hearing by her side! That's something I will never forget! I know that she will be greatly missed in body, but Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Love & prayers to the family.

WE WERE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW BRENDA THE PAST 5 YEARS LIVING IN DUBLIN AND ATTENDING PRINCE OF PEACE. HER SMILE, WARMTH AND ENTHUSIASM FOR LIFE WILL BE MISSED. SHE ALWAYS MADE US LAUGH. IT IS NEVER EASY TO LOSE A LOVED ONE, BUT KNOWING SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE THAN WE ARE HELPS EASE THE PAIN.
