Personal note from Maureen

Dear Family and Friends,

One year ago today, August 24, 2022, Brenda left her physical body and now, no longer encumbered by physical constraints, I believe she can be wherever we are.

Always true to her artist’s soul she made beautiful everyone and everything she touched.

Sustained by her deep, abiding faith and love of family, we were each made better for having known her.

And Bren, I can truthfully say that I have missed you every one of these 365 days. (Your family still needs your input.)

I invite family and friends to share your thoughts of Brenda.

Maureen
