Like Arnie, somehow, I think you will know. Just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and missing you more than usual today. Thank you for loving me 'as is'. I don't know if you knew how much of an impact you had on my life. The lessons you taught me are still part of my life. You are missed. Love you.

I still think of you often and I miss talking to you for the hours on end that we spent communicating and loving each other. One day I will see you again. I miss you more than time can tell.

I doubt if anyone will read this after that much time. But, I just thought I would mention how much I miss Brenda and how much I am still in love with her. I spent most of the evening remembering the many wonderful times we had together and how much I wish I could be with her again. But, we did have a mutual promise. When I do see her again, we will spend a lifetime of love in our next lives. Somehow, some way, I know she is probably reading this right now. I hope she is so she can be reminded how much I miss her. So, if you are reading the my dear, I love you still as I always have. While we are not together now, I will keep my promise to spend that lifetime with you if you are still willing. God love you my dear. Arnie I usually leave you with some kind of jovial line. But, tonight, I just want to remember my love for you. Golly, it has been a year and I still miss her. I doubt if anyone will read this after that much time.

Arnie called me and said that our precious Brenda had passed. I was so sad and it made me think of all the times we spent together. We lived together for several months and we would go and visit each other in each others rooms. We also lived in the same apartments and had many wonderful talks and laughs. She was truly a beautiful soul inside and out. I thank her for being the loving and caring woman and mother that she was. I will always remember her with a gentle heart.

You mom was a person who had a significant impact on my childhood. Even though most of my time around all of you was on the weekends there are many memories I have and lessons that were taught during my childhood years. She always accepted me as one or her own children when I was around. A great advesary for me in my teen years, always someone I could trust, always there to listen to me, always there to give advice when I needed it. I remember so many things...and of course what a great cook. A great mother, friend, and teacher. She will be missed. Sheridan Bishop IV Daniel, Dean, Dwayne, I’m sorry for your loss.

We laughted so much and had a great time. I ran across a picture of her with her Rummikub tray running over when she had to keep drawing to be able to play. She was smiling largely. Sorry to hear she is no longer with us. Naomi I remember when Brenda joined me and several friends in a trip to Lake Tahoe where we played endless (non-stop) games of Rummikub.

Rollins Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:40:49 +0000 http://www.amosfamily.com/?p=1676#comment-412 My best friend, whom I nicknamed Queen Brenda, has now passed on to be with God. I, too, am very sad that I cannot share with her my heart's joys and fears. Brenda and I met in February, 1966, when I got to train her for my old job as Secretary to Mr. Trump (we never knew if he was related to the "Donald"). Anyway, we quickly became best friends. I had a 3-year old son and she had her first son, Daniel, who was only about six weeks old. The things about Brenda that impressed me so much were her kindness, her ability to learn quickly, her regal manners always and forever and her joy in our friendship. I was asked to remember something funny about her, and I admit I teased her about this many times over these past years. After Brenda moved to the office next to mine, she got in the habit of going to the break room every afternoon for her daily "snack" , which consisted of a Coke and a Hershey's candy bar. Then she would slowly walk past my office and gaily smile while holding her "treats." She would laugh when I'd yell "I hate you, Brenda" and go back to eat her sugar high. Of course, I could never eat that stuff, but she could and stayed maddeningly thin. Every time I brought that memory back, she'd have a good belly laugh! Sadly, I couldn't always get her to laugh, but we always were very close, and I will NEVER forget her. One of the best things about Brenda was that she was always up for any little adventure as long as she felt good enough. One night back in 1993 or '94 I called her and asked her if she wanted me to take her to the Science Museum to view Mars. No one else wanted to go, but she did. One other memory I can't forget is that she was a fabulous hairdresser prior to her employment at Beckman Instruments. Two times a week we'd meet in the ladies lounge, and she would comb out my hair (tease it 60s style!). Every six months she'd come over and pull my hair through a cap with a crochet hook and bleach it. Good times, good food (she was a gourmet cook) and great memories. Until we meet again, my friend, Brenda, I love you..............Frannie P.S. To Daniel, Dean & Dwayne, my Godsons, please remember I will always love you. Thank you for making me proud.

I wasn't much younger than you when I lost my mother. It is so difficult, no matter what your your age. But shortly after my mother died, my dad was fortunate to meet and fall in love with your grandmother. When your grandmother married my dad and became my mother, your mom became my sister. My sisters and I were blessed with a second mother and a brother and two sisters. Even though we were physically separated by geography, in my heart I always thought of your mother as my sister. I am so deeply saddened by her death. Please know that the love I had for her extends to all of you as well. Please also know that your Michigan family is here for you if you ever need us. You boys and your families will continue to remain in my thoughts and my prayers. All my love, Marsha Fortune Dan, Dean, and Dwayne,
