Three Year Anniversary (August 7, 2014)
It is has been three years since Brent was called upon to serve a higher purpose and quest. However, it still feels as if it just occurred yesterday.
Our family was deeply touched that Brent’s friends from Texas sent a beautiful bouquet of roses and Easter lilies.
During Brent’s life, he touched the lives and hearts of countless individuals. It means a lot us that his legacy continues to live on in the memories and hearts of family and friends.
Passing of Aunt Frances (June 7, 2014)
94 years old. Quite a story. The ‘story’ ended on June 7, 2014.
Frances Marie Bottino (Grandma Tre’s sister) passed away after a few months of suffering numerous small strokes. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at home.
Her life was full with family, and her death was without suffering. That is all, which her loved ones could have hoped for her.
She was a terrific wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, godmother and friend to so many of us friends and family. Her daughters are abiding by her wishes that her funeral arrangements be kept private. What they ask if that you think of a special moment that you shared with her – enjoy those personal memories – and send her your love and prayers.
Deep Thoughts
Many people are unaware that exactly one year to the date prior to his passing, Brent was shot during an attempted carjacking. It has plagued our family with many questions and theories since it sounds like something out of a Final Destination movie.
