As i sit here remembering both good and hard times we have shared it brings tears running down my cheeks. No one deserves to suffer with that horrible disease called Alzheimer's. Your suffering is over now and you can rest in peace Brenda.I will miss you and the friendship since childhood.
Norman and I will struggle on without you and Willie until we meet again.
Your true friend Gloria.
