I concur with Deb's statements above, it was a real blessing that she did not have prolonged suffering. My father died 6 weeks after his diagnosis with lung cancer. He had gone to his radiation treatment the day before, spent some time at the hobby shop, and was listening to music and doing some other things at midnight when my wife and I went to bed. The next morning he was gone.
Brenda's spirit lives on with the people here!
