    Amy:
    I am so very sorry the miracle we so hoped for did not occur. I have no doubt that Donna, Eric, Kimby, JR, and all the rest of our semi-colons that are now gone will be there to wrap their arms around Brenda. The greatest gift you can now give to Brenda is to be the loving aunt and advocate for her daughter, Rachael, during these most difficult days, weeks and months ahead. Your love of your sister showed in every single word you wrote on the board and Brenda was very lucky to have you.

    Take care and let us know how you are doing. Once you are family, you are always family here.

    Sincerely,

    Tina and George

    Oh Amy
    I cannot tell you how sorry I am that you have lost Brenda. Brenda has been on my mind + in my thoughts so much. I was in chemo all day today + on the way home Brenda was totally on my mind. If I remember correctly, you were posting here before Brenda was. The closeness + love between you two was clear in every post either of you made. Brenda's love and concern for Rachel were also very clear. I would guess that knowing you are there for Rachel helped Brenda a lot. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

    Condolences
    Amy,

    My sincere condolences to you and all of your family. I pray for comfort for Rachel and that her father is able to put aside his addictions and do what he needs to for his daughter.

    So Sad
    Amy,
    I'm sorry for your loss. Brenda meant a lot to me as well. As an out of work teacher, I always admired her for continuing to teach while she fought cancer. She recently said, "It is almost impossible to think about cancer while teaching 7th grade."

    Take Care Amy,
    Roger

    Sincerest Condelences As Well
    I'm so sorry to hear of Brenda's passing. I know you were a good sister to her and that she fought really hard.

    It's unfortunate that her husband handled things the way he chose to at the hospial - a decision he'll have to live with for the rest of his life.

    I am wishing for you peace and calm during the coming days...and I hope your niece will be ok - I'm sure you are a great aunt for her as well.

    This disease is all to real and each passing brings us all a sobering reminder of what we face on a daily basis.

    Thank you for all that you did and for letting everyone know so we coujld share Brenda's journey with you both:)

    -Craig

    So very sorry
    Amy I am so very sorry for the lose of your sister and certainly my heart breaks for your niece Rachel who is now left with what seems to be a troubled father. But somehow I know she will be fine for she has you in her life. Brenda may be gone but will never be forgotten as her spirit lives on in this group and in her daughter. I was glad to read that she went peacefully as that is really all we can hope for in life. May God bless you and your family during this most difficult time in your life.

    God Bless,
    Bobby in Dallas

    My sincere condolences to you and Rachel. It is tough to lose a sister and a best friend. I know my sister too fought up until the very end and I mean the very end. It just breaks my heart. All of it. Please reach out if you need to talk. Blessings and prayers.

    Sorry for your loss Amy
    I am glad that she went peacefully, I think that is the best we all can ask.
    Sometimes the positive attitude is all we have, that goes for either side of the disease. It certainly looks like your niece can use the positive attitude from people in her life since her father does not seem up to the task.
    My condolences
