Mike, Bev and Ray, Lynette, et. al,

Please accept my condolences on the death of Brenda. I'm sorry that her being on hospice was the way we met. Nonetheless, I'm glad I got to meet you all and get to know you even a little.
I will be leading a training session on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for Help for Health Hospice, so I won't be able to come to any of Brenda's services, but I'll certainly be there in thought. May God bless all of you.

Sue Rector, Social Worker - 2/10/2011

Oh my, there are so many words to describe Brenda, she was loving, kind, fun, funny, sweet,and just tooo many to mention them all. Brenda was one of the best caretakers my son Jesse could have had. She was such a great friend to him and made a big difference in his life. Please accept my condolences, thoughts and prayers for her whole family. Brenda was such a strong willed, a real trooper and I know my family and I will miss her very much. all Our Love and Prayers, Jeannie Portlock and family

Bev & Ray,
You've taken a long journey with your daughter, Brenda--but too short a trip, as well. Despite the challenge which entered her life, she was fortunate to have a large and loving family for support through this difficult time. Be grateful for the time given to say "goodby", even though it was painful at times. My thoughts will be with you and the rest of the family in the days ahead when her absence will be felt the most.
