Dear Gene & Family, I just now learned of Brenda's passing. I am so very sorry! I did not know that she was ill, and I just want you to know that I will be lifting you and your family up in prayer. It is so very painful to lose your life partner, of whom you so dearly love. I know that too well! With Christian Love and prayers.

To Gene and family: My heartfelt sympathy to all of you from our family. We know how hard this time must be for you and send our thoughts and prayers. On a more personal note I remember all the time when I was a young teenager at Timberlake Baptist functions and having fun with your family. God bless and keep you in his arms during this time of grief. I hope my Papa was there to greeted her as she went home to the Lord this week. Love Helen Dare & Gay Harris
