I don’t know how to begin this without wishing I could say it to you directly, Brenda.
You were such a deeply important part of my life from the time I was just six months old—more than words can truly express. The love, care, and quiet strength you gave me have stayed with me in ways I only fully understand now. You weren’t just a guiding presence; you were a blessing in the truest sense—one I will never forget.
Thank you for the love you gave to me and my family, for the life lessons you shared, and for the beautiful memories we made together—camping trips, theatre outings, countryside visits, exploring castles, and the way you always remembered us on birthdays and Christmas. Those moments mean even more to me now.
It will always feel so special that you share a birthday with my daughter—something that will forever keep a part of you close to us.
It hurts to know I can’t reach out to you anymore, but what you gave me hasn’t gone anywhere. It lives on in my memories, in the way you shaped my heart, and in the comfort, I still find when I think of you.
I will carry you with me—your kindness, your warmth, your steady love—for the rest of my life. I will miss our chats so much. You were a woman of wisdom and such thoughtful advice.
Rest peacefully. You are so deeply missed, and so deeply loved.
Your God-Daughter. Juliette
