To one of my favorite families in Opelika, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your lovely sister, Brenda. As a direct reflection of Mrs. Hattie "Q", truly it was a blessing to know Brenda. Her quiet spirit and her beautiful smile were indicative of how wonderful a person she was. Her legacy and spirit will continue to live in the hearts of her sons.

I know it must be difficult to lose a sibling, mother and a friend--I can identify, but each situation is different; therefore, having a different affect. I know it is difficult, but He can sooth all pain.

I pray as the days get long that He will give you the necessary comfort and care to cope with this loss. He is the only one that can provide and give you perfect peace.

Again, I thank God for the opportunity to know Brenda.

He strengthens us as we rely on Him. The more we become like Him, the closer we'll be to the center of His will.
