I remember dear Brenda from many years ago at the Easter Seal Camp where she was a camper in my cabin! Such great memories of her! I also recall how she wanted to travel & her mom brought her all the way to Chicago for a visit with me! So sweet! She was truly a joy to know & I know she'll be missed by many loving friends & family.
