A personal note:
I heard about Brenda long before I met her -- great stories about her international adventures and love of animals. Many of us will remember how she gave Phantom, a dog from Turkey, a new lease on life.
One summer during one of Brenda's visits to Lac Le Jeune, a group of us went on a bike ride to Ross Moore Lake. There is one stretch on the final descent toward the lake that is rocky and steep; many riders choose to dismount and walk. Not Brenda. She rode over those rocks like a pro. Later when we stopped for a break she explained that a good dental plan was factored into that decision. :)
We crossed paths a few times over the years -- gathering around her kitchen table with fresh-baked cookies to talk about website design, her parents 50th wedding anniversary party, and just smiling and waving across Lookout Road.
I knew I'd like Brenda before I met her, and now I know I'll miss her. xo
