This is my second-oldest daughter (shown with her son and a brother-in-law). I was distressed to find I don't have a lot of pictures of her but that's because she is the one who's always taking the pictures at family functions.
She actually majored in photography for a time but then decided to go into nursing. She has been an RN at a VA hospital for 25 years now. It's a career that really suits her nurturing personality. (Before she had kids, she was in the habit of buying stressed plants and restoring them to hardiness.) Her family always has a wide variety of well-loved pets--including snakes and mice, birds, cats and dogs.
She suffered breast cancer in 2003 but took control of the situation with her usual calm reasoning. She opted to have a double mastectomy to prevent any recurrence. It was a long struggle that she and her family survived with grace and thankfulness. She is past her 5-year milestone and in good health. Her doctor credits her former good health habits with her successful recovery.
We are so thankful to have her in our family. With her bubbly personality and warmth, she is always a joy to be around. Yet, she is a gentle and wise companion to everyone she meets.

I am so thankful that Brenda discovered her cancer in it's early stages. She has been an inspiration to me and also my daughter. I am thankful she is cancer free now, and cherish every minute I get to share with her.
You sure raised 'em right, m'dear!!!
It always amazes me how different siblings can be from one another. Yet the two sisters showcased, so to speak, so far both share in some wonderful traits -- kindness, goodness, and smarts come to mind.
