I want you to know that you have all been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard about Bruna. What a wonderful woman she truly was! When I think of her, the first word that comes to mind is family. Her life seemed to be centered around her children and grandchildren, and I admired how close everyone has stayed to each other through the years. Her strength and loyalty to friends were also evident in how she lived her life. I will never forget those days of grandma going to the beauty shop every Friday not only to get her hair done, but also to surround herself with Bruna's friendship. She was like a second mom to my mom, Mitzi, who will also miss her deeply. We are all so so blessed to have known her and will carry her in our hearts in the years to come. May God surround you with His peace and grace now and always. I will be thinking of all of you.
