    Aunt Shirley, My heart goes out to you and the family. It is so hard parting with our loved ones, especially when they are a part of our daily lives. I know you and Brenda had a beautiful relationship. I don't think I ever was around Brenda when she was not smiling and cracking jokes. She brought a lot of joy and laughter to the people she met. I'm praying that God wrap His arms around you and the family, that you may feel His presence. I hope it gives you comfort knowing others care and how much we love you.

    Lennie,Sheila, Andy, Andrew, and Cole, I am so sorry for your loss. I have enjoyed getting to know all of you over the years through Lennie's BBQ Bonanza at our home, Sheila and Ben working together at Laura and Jerry's, then getting aquainted with the boys at school. Brenda was a big help with both kids and horses. We are thinking of you all at this difficult time.

    ~ They’ll Be The Whisper In Your Heart ~ They’ll be the warmth in every breeze And the wind that blows the leaves They’ll be the whisper in your heart And the soft touch upon your cheek . They’ll be the angel in your dreams And the bright stars up in the sky They’ll be the laughter of each child And the new born baby’s gentle cry . They will the chirping of the birds As each new morn they sing They will be as free as butterflies That fly upon the whispering wings They will never be forgotten The ones that have gone on But someday we'll be with them Right near His royal throne. Although we shed some tears In our hearts we see them home They're the angels watching over us Keeping us always , safe and warm ... ~*~ Thinking of you ... Love Sharon Key
