I can not begin to tell you how many bumps in the road of life that your mom helped me with. She was the one person I knew I could count on and would always give me an honest answer. Watching your family was one that I wanted, full of love and fun. We had so much fun together and she always had a big smile on her face. No matter what we were talking about around the kitchen table we were laughing at the end of the conversation. What wonderful memories we made. Brenda was at every special event and was a part of our family. Please remember this, your Mom always told me how proud she was of you and the special love you have with Dan. The relationship she and Patrick have is amazing. they loved each other. Julia told you he keeps a picture of he and Brenda on his nightstand. I could go on and on about their special relationship but I feel Patrick should share this with you. Every Christmas I say a special prayer to Brenda and I miss seeing her bring me Christmas breakfast. Remember that wonderful smile of hers and what a great mother and friend she was to all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3201900948561468627.post-71613058665426136362008-10-03T10:55:00.000-05:002008-10-03T10:55:00.000-05:00My heart is sooo full of love for you and sorrow f...My heart is sooo full of love for you and sorrow for your news. You are so much like your Mom. As we talked about on those long days of caring for your Mom and cleaning out her home, the similarity is what separated you for a long time but also brought you so close in those last weeks of her life. You know your Mom always loved you even when apart. God sends you the butterflies to remind you of this now and for the future. I am here for you. My tears, prayers, and love are with you always. We will get through this. I am here for you day or night as before. Hugs and kisses. Watch for the butterflies.<BR/>Love ya<BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3201900948561468627.post-44417004305656295702008-10-03T07:51:00.000-05:002008-10-03T07:51:00.000-05:00Brenda was and will always be one of the dearest f...Brenda was and will always be one of the dearest friends I've ever had. I know that she was and is very proud of you and how you've grown. She mentored me in dealing with my own daughter. I am sorry that ya'll struggled, but it was a life lession which illustrated a very natural part of the mother/ daughter relationship. I miss Brenda terribly, but I am happy to have met you. I love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3201900948561468627.post-19626307099568661802008-09-12T15:16:00.000-05:002008-09-12T15:16:00.000-05:00Your mom was an amazing lady.

We think of her every Christmas morning. It seems like just yesterday she was bringing us breakfast casserole just as we were finishing opening up gifts. I know Patrick thinks of her all the time. He still has a picture of the two of them in his room. Your family was so important to all of us, and especially to Patrick. I can remember him listening to Jackson's ranger warm up tapes.Nate Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139489662995243776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3201900948561468627.post-44450244544957166902008-09-09T09:42:00.000-05:002008-09-09T09:42:00.000-05:00I hope you know that you and your mother are the r...I hope you know that you and your mother are the reason I made such an effort to get closer to my mom.

I always used to just listen, but was frustrated to hear the negative about your mother. I really enjoyed your positive remembrances. Mom's are so very special.
