This news was a great shok for me. It left me completely speechless. All that I can say now are words that everyone who knew Brigitte would say: "I will never forget her."

Though we had never met, emails had been flying between Brigitte & me the past couple of weeks. You see, she cared about other people & she had volunteered to receive & store clothing for the people of Zimbabwe who have been displaced with only the clothing on their backs. She was even going to Africa later this year & we discussed what items she could carry items with her. The day she had her heart attack she had just accompanied a pastor friend from Zimbabwe to a speaking engagement & told him she had collected $5000.00 from the people that day to help him feed the orphans & others he was caring for. He called me later with much concern as he had to call 911 to help her. Praise the Lord that he had been brought thousands of miles to be with her that day. From our email exchange I saw a woman who truly cared for others & was doing all she could help the homeless and starving people in Zimbabwe. Truly her heart of love will continue to touch the lives of the people of Zimbabwe as her memory will live on through the aid she helped to provide.
