Joyce Bren

I will miss her more then words can express. I know she is out of pain and happy to up there with Garpy. I remember going to visit in Spokane and being so excited to go over their house. One year she was in the kitchen making dinner for everyone, while garpy was outside playing in the snow with me and Austin. Grandma bren was home for everyone. No matter where we were she made it feel like home.

I remember the day I met Grandma and Grandpa Bren. Nathan introduced me when I was 15, and they accepted me with open arms. Grandma invited me in for coffee while Grandpa sat in the front room, watching TV and pretending he wasn´t asleep.

Grandma was always there to nurture and help all me grow, loving me as one of her blood grandchildren. I will always remember the impact she made on my life and my family´s life. She always remembered the little things and celebrated them, recalling everyone´s birthday and anniversary. She was so thoughtful and caring. I aspire to be the Grandma she was one day.
Grandma and Grandpa were the perfect example of parents, grandparents and Christ´s Love. They truly loved unconditionally.

I couldn´t ask for a better grandma. I will miss her and Grandpa with all my heart, but I am so glad that I will be able to see them again one day with Jesus.

Joyce was a wonderful mother-in-law. She welcomed me into the family 23 years ago and always let me know she cared about me. My husband Steve talked with her almost every evening. She was even an avid Seahawks fan! We will all miss her very much.

Life with our parents was a great joy. I miss them both, but am excited to see them one day again. They taught us John 3:16, that God so loved us he sent Jesus to die for us so we can have eternal life together!
