Dear Edith, Thank you for your words of sympathy in our loss. It came as such a shock and we just were not prepared. It is hard as you well know. I have Kurt here and he is a wonderful support and great helper, Monica is in Phoenix and we have the phone, I have some wonderful cousins, my church family, and more friends than I ever thought I had and time will help heal. Thank you again for your words of comfort. Fondly, Brenda

Dear Debra, Thank you for your note of sympathy. You wrote that Don was a great man. I truly hope I was worthy of him as he was a wonderful husband and father. I miss him so but I have Kurt here and he has been marvelous in helping get things done. Monica is in Phoenix but we have the phone and she and Shawn are coming back in October. I have a wonderful church family, some cousins, and many friends and I will get through this. God is Good. Love, Brenda

Dear Cheryl and Brian, Thank you so much for the condolence that you sent. It came as such a shock to us and as you can well imagine it is very hard. I miss him so. I have Kurt to help me and he has been just wonderful and so organized and I am seeing a side of him that I have not seen before. I have a wonderful church family, some family of my own including two wonderful cousins, and many friends here. I treasure our friendship even though we have never met but I hope that will happen one day. Thank you again, Love, Brenda

Hello Brenda and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Don. I have fond memories of coming to the house for piano lessons and him greeting me with a smile. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Brenda, you've been on my mind often in the past few years. I would have loved to come to the visitation/funeral but I unfortunately cannot make it.

Dear Rachel, Thank you so much for you sympathy. At your young age you have been through this too many times. It is so hard and there is so much that has to be done and I miss him so. However, God is good and I will make it through this with his help and Kurt's and many friends and some family. I have so many fond memories of you and your family and all the good times especially with music. I would love to keep in touch with you if you have time. Just an e-mail once in awhile would be wonderful. God Bless You. Love, Brenda

Brenda, Kurt and Family,
There are no words, only prayers at a time like this.
I will miss his help to light the Easter Candle and miss his smile.

Dear Pat, Thank you for your lovely note here. It was such a shock and we just were not prepared. I am so lonely but for now have a lot of chores to get done. I have our wonderful church, many friends, and people like you who will help me get through this. I treasure the memory you wrote about Don helping you with the Easter candle. I will always remember that. I will see you at church. Love to a dear friend, Brenda
