I was the luckiest person in the world because God gave me such a wonderful mother! I am the person I am today, the mother I am today because of you. You are my best friend, in life and in death. For me, it is not goodbye, but see you later in heaven. There will not be a moment that I don't think about you and your smile. I love you so much, and I will miss you immensely!

People are often made larger in death than they were in life. For you, Aunt Brenda, that is impossible! Those who knew you, knew you were as great as they come. We will miss you the rest of the days of our lives, but I know you are waiting for us at the pearly gates. I was so lucky to be your niece!

In knowing Brenda we realize that angels do live among us. They seem to be "on loan" from God Himself to show us love, caring, compassion, joy and loyalty. We were all so blessed by her presence and will feel her absence the remainder of our days. Heaven is truly a sweeter place having her.
God bless and comfort each of you. We love you dearly.
