Brenda, I always thought your mom was so pretty. She and your Dad I always thought were such Godly people. I loved reading her posts and thoughts on things. I'm thankful for your folk's friendship with my parents over all their years. I remember visiting you guys at the Bono house and when they moved to OKC. I wanted to be a nurse listening to your dad talk about you in nursing school and working OB. And the weird thing is I went to work at the same hospital you did and worked with some of the same people. I will be praying for you and your family. I remember when Dad was in the hospital his last days and you and Mary Dell came to the hospital. That meant a lot.
Hugs sent your way.

In Christ's love,
