    Vik, we got the news of Brandi’s passing from Kelli O. Startling and sad news to say the least. Obviously we didn’t know Brandi well but the few times we met her and spoke with her we were charmed at her gentle and genuine spirit. We would offer to help more if we were in the area. We will remember you and the kids in our prayers and we will ask that you be strengthened to find your way through this tragedy. Our deepest sympathies, Carmen and Beth.
