Phillip and Family,
Sorry to hear about Bren. She was a great lady. Sarah always looked forward to going over to your house in Conway and play with Brittany. I would have loved to make it to the visitation on Friday, but I could not find a way to get up there. She is in a better place now and her pain is gone. Prayers to all of the family.
