Learning to live different is hard. I’m so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in the little signs she will send… they’re unexpected, random but you will know they are from your mom. 💕
Sonya, Michelle, Heather, Bill and all of the family:
I was so sorry to hear of Brenda’s passing. She was such an amazing woman and will be so missed. I don’t know how I got through my teenage years without her.
You are all in my thoughts with love
You and your family are in my prayers.
