Thanks also to all the nurses and doctors at High Point Regional Hospital, where she spent her final days. The English scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) is considered to have been one of the greatest experimental physicists. When Faraday was questioned on his speculations of a life after death, he replied: 'Speculations? I know nothing about speculations. I'm resting on certainties. I know that my Redeemer lives, and because He lives, I shall live also.' Brenda went home also believing these truths. Her favorite verse she struggled with was Philippians 4:11 ""11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content."" She is at peace at home with her heavenly, Father. This life, we travel through, but heaven is her home where she can unpack and be content for eternity. Heaven's delights will far outweigh earth's difficulties. Hebrews 13:14 ""For this world is not our home; we are looking forward to our city in heaven, which is yet to come."" The definition of love is the desire for and the delight in the happiness of another, even to the point of self-sacrifice. Brenda loved everyone she came in contact with, and took care of everyone better than herself. Brenda Kay Adams Davis Beeson was 67 years of age.
