To all of the Brule family that I knew so well—your mom was the epitome of a matriarch. She truly was the “glue”that held the family together. And her wonderful daughters and their families say it all. I’m sure her sons also made her proud, but I never knew them. My sympathy to all of you, I know what a hole her passing leaves in all of your hearts.
