It is with utmost sadness that I share the news that my friend, fellow collector and blogger Brenda Lacy passed away yesterday after prolonged illness. Brenda and I had been friends since 2012, and although we never met, we shared many interests outside of model horses. We both loved zoos, lighthouses, and silly shark movies. We had many laughs over Sharknado, Sand Sharks, 6 Headed Shark Attack, and other goofy shark themed movies. We were both fans of Emergency!, a 1970s TV show. Brenda liked to write, and was an avid photographer, especially of wild horses. She was also fond of Pusheen, and loved cats, both big and small. At my farm I found the tracks of a huge mountain lion, and I couldn’t wait to tell Brenda because I knew she’d be as excited as I was about having a big cat pass through (I have no livestock, so no worries). Here are her two cats, which had been her Blab avatar forever:
I greatly enjoyed her blog, Model Horse Mania. Brenda was the one who encouraged me to start this blog; I had been hemming and hawing over it, but she provided me the nudge to actually do it. I shall miss Brenda greatly and am still somewhat in shock of her passing. Rest In Peace, dear friend.
Oh no! I just checked her blog today too as I hadn’t looked at it in awhile. So sorry for your loss. I like the show Emergency! Too, my mind introduced it to me when I was little after buying the first 2 seasons on dvd.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words. I’m going to miss her blog.
