The first time I saw Earlen whom I will refer to hereafter as Brenda because she will always be Brenda to us, I saw a slightly shorter woman with a great deal of distrust in her eyes, but a smile that popped up unexpectedly and changed her whole face! As time passed by, we came to know and understand the true Brenda and that man with the wild gray hair that came with her. Over the years, we grew to care deeply for them both and Brenda began to trust and come out of her shell completely. The smallest thing would bring her into gales of laughter and she frequently brought the entire crew into gales of laughter quite unintentionally when she would simply do something totally Brenda, like hit my husband in the head with a 2 x 4 accidentally when she swung around forgetting it was in her hands and he was there! But our Brenda was loyal to the core, once she gave her friendship, she was your friend and once you earned her affection, she didn't let it go easily. We respected and loved her and her passing does not go down easily for us. She was a young woman with a lot to give in a cynical world and was called away much too early. As worldly wise as Brenda was, she carried an innate innocence about her that wrapped around her like a cloak. Tony, please know how deeply we feel for the loss of your "wife," your friend, your companion and the woman who shared your life. We can't imagine anyone else who would have shared the ride with such gusto and joy as our sweet Brenda did. May she rest in God's hands now and know peace. We love you..... and we surely loved Brenda.

Tony and family, So sorry to hear of Earlen's passing. Enjoyed spending Wednesday afternoons visiting with and getting to know you both. Earlen is at peace and with God now. I assume now you will go to ultrasound school to finish your education. Love and prayers
