Brenda and Richard were both very dear friends of mine when we were in high school.
When they got married and Richard enlisted in the military separated by life the years passed quiclky.

I found Brenda on Facebook,apparently right before her ascend to heaven...she only mentioned she wasn't good at figuring out FB, but was happy we made contact after a lifetime had passed.

Brenda it's as though yesterday we were looking to have fun where there was nothing to do .

Say hi to Richard...may your journey together continue for eternity.

Your dear friend, Lorna.
