Hi Brenda,
This is Gary Tuell -- Coach -- who performed the wedding ceremony for Brian and Kayla. Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that you have been -- and will continue to be -- in my thoughts and my daily prayers. In fact, you are in the prayers of many, many people who you don't know nor have met ... so stay strong and stay positive! One of my dearest friends here in South Florida, a basketball coach I've known for 25 years, was diagnosed with leukemia in early March. I've told him about you and he and his family are praying for you, as are many of my family and fiends. You are thought of and loved by so many people you don't even know!!! Remember that God cares for the birds in the trees, and as Jesus said, "If God cares for the birds, how much MORE do you think He cares for you??!!!" He cares. Trust and be positive ... you will beat this thing. You are loved.

Hi Brenda,
I am so glad you had a good time with "The Girls"! How could you not! They probably had you laughing the whole time! :) You are such a strong positive person and that strength will get you through this! Brian was here today working hard on the basement. He is doing a great job! (of course!) I thought of you the whole time I was walking in the relay for life and it was worth every step in the rain! I will keep you in our prayers and am still sending hugs and extra prayers to get those white cells moving! Take care and see you soon!
Love, Connie

Brenda,

It was sooooo good to see you. It would have been soooo much better to hug you for real, but you know I am hugging you all day long in my heart! You are so special! Don't worry, you are beautiful with or without your hair. It's your eyes & smile that make you so beautiful! Assume the position, Chin Up!, I think we will have to come down again when you do your 3 month tour! I'm ready to walk!!!!!!

Love
Julie & Tessa

Brenda,
I wish I were coming to see you with my mom. Hope she gives you some squeezes from me! You can tell I am really desperate for some girl time because I am thinking we could have quite a time if I came and spent the night with you in the hospital! ;)I have done that many of times, but Shaina was no fun she always wanted to stick to the rules! You know no wheel chair races or anything like that. I can not wait to see those pictures tell Coy boy to get them going! Hoping you can make it outside today or soon! Love ya cuz, Julie

Miss Brenda
Sounds like you had a great weekend with friends visiting, they can be so uplifting . I know your mom having to come home hurt her as much as it hurt you for her to leave, your so right, we never get to old for our beloved family. NEVER EVER !!!! Can't wait to here that your white cells are up in the next couple of days, because we all have faith in God. Keep smiling and don't forget to laugh. May God Bless you this week in your every need.

Love Ya Cheryl
