    Brenda: I didn’t know your mom of course, but if she was anything like you I would have loved her… I am so sure she was very proud of the person you are today. My heart goes out to you and your family….. It is so hard to lose a parent… Hugs to you and prayers to your family too.

    Brenda, my heart breaks to hear of the loss of your mom. I didn’t have the opportunity to know her but I’m sure she was so very proud of you and the care and love you gave her when she needed you the most. May God surround you all with strength, courage, comfort and peace as only He can. Love you so…..holding you and your family close in thought and prayer.

    We didn’t know Shirley, but Rick, Paula and Kyle were friends from many Boy Scout events.
    And you know Rick could play a mean guitar ! ! !
    The families will be in our prayers.
