Ah, my dear friend You are now at peace with your Heavenly Father and your family who loved you, unconditionally. We can only imagine the joy you must be feeling at this time. We are saddened by your passing, old friend and ‘wife-in-law’, yet we rejoice in knowing you will spend eternity free of all pain and heartache. Will miss your quirky personality and beautiful smile. I’ll do my best to be there for ‘our’ daughter, whenever she needs me, as will her sister. ♥

A good friend is worth more than gold. A good friend celebrates our successes and shows up when the times are hard. Brenda & I shared a beautiful friendship that lasted 65 years! 65 years of love, joy, laughter, tears, and heartaches helped to make me who I am today. I will always treasure my friendship with such a special lady. Thank you Brenda for the love and longevity and special friendship. You were the sister I never had. Vicky
