Bob, Kerry, the rest of the Brendel family and close friends,
Your mother was always very gracious to me whenever I was fortunate to be in the area and could stop by for a visit. I have fond memories of cruising down the Potomac with her and your Dad when they lived in Arlington, VA many years ago and visiting them in Lovettsville. I can really appreciate your mother’s community service of coordinating fire, rescue, and EMT services as I was once a volunteer firefighter many years ago, and during my Air Force career served as the base Fire Marshal and On-Scene Commander. She was a very special person. May the happy memories of her life bring you a measure of comfort and peace. I am honored to make a donation in your mother’s name to the Lovettsville Volunteer Fire and Rescue.
