Brunette was such a lovely lady! I enjoyed her in high school in our classes. I teared up when I saw her sweet face. Blessings to y'all living with an empty place in your lives. Yet she will always fill your hearts with fond memories-

My family has very fond memories of Bru. When she worked at Pizza Inn, our family would eat there regularly. She always came over to our table to talk with us. One day we let our 4-yr-old daughter go to the restroom by herself. The heavy door closed on her arm. Bru was the first one to get to her. She picked up our child and soothed her until we could get to her. This daughter still remembers Bru as the wonderful woman with perfect hair and a huge smile. We kept in touch with her when she went to work at Walmart. She still shared her big, beautiful smile with us whenever she saw us. I'm certain she will be missed by many friends and family as she has blessed so many people with her friendliness and smile.
