On a snowy January 20,1970, night, Brandi Elizabeth burst into our world like a never-ending whirlwind. Her sister, Gayling, who was almost 3, instantly became her little “mother”; which we thought was good and we encouraged. Little did we know this would not set well with Brandi, but they worked it out and became closer and closer.

Brandi gave us many blessings over the years but the best gift of all is her 2 sons, Zack and Matthew. On 11-11-2015 we awakened to find her gone.

We can truthfully say that Brandi died complete. She married her life-long sweetheart, Chuck, finished her college degree and had a job she loved. She still had her closest friend Sharon and her Mama was always her best friend. Her boys were grown and had only to bless her with grandchildren. She may have thought she wouldn’t have liked being called “Grandma” but she was perfect for it. She had a heart the size of Wisconsin. To make matters even better she was happily living on the lake next door to her Daddy.

Losing her is so hard, but we know, in our heart, that she’s in Heaven, singing in the angel choir and saving us a seat.

Thank you, our precious Brandi, for spending the 45 years of your life with us. We love you so much and miss you desperately, but “sing on” until we join you!!
