"Looking back on our fifty years of friendship, I am overwhelmed by how much we've shared. I'll miss our routine of watching our shows together, but I am so grateful for every single episode we spent in each other’s company. Fifty years of friendship is a lifetime of stories. As we move into this new chapter, I find myself lingering on the shared moments that I will hold onto most dearly." I love you an miss you sis
Brenda was a good friend. We went to high school together. I lost contact with her after high school but she was a very sweet lady in high school and I’m sure she remain the same. May God be with the son and all of his family at the sad time
