I write this on September 4, 2012, the birthday of my \u201cBest Friend Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brenda Carol Cobb and I were inseparable. From Indianapolis to California to Jonestown, we were always together. Those who knew us could see we were \u201ctwo peas in a pod,\u201d \u201cthick as thieves,\u201d and whatever other pairing you could use to describe the friendship we shared. To me she was a \u201cBFF\u201d before the phrase became part of American slang.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrecisely Indubitably\u201d; \u201cIndubitably Precisely\u201d! Those who knew Brenda knew that was her catch phrase of choice.<\/p>\n

I miss your beautiful smile, Brenda, that could light up any room. I miss the talks we shared about our future. I miss our bad days as well as our good days. I am saddened you were cheated out of experiencing the things you wanted to do.<\/p>\n

I thank you for your spirit you gave me that I carry with me daily. I thank you for the opportunity to have known such a beautiful person.<\/p>\n

I miss you so much my friend, my sister. Never will I ever experience a friendship as special and strong as ours. I Love You Forever, my \u201cBFF,\u201d my Sister.<\/p>\n
