Regarding the memorial for Brenda Jarmin.

I am referring to the memorial cross and flowers that I placed at Roop and Washington streets. For the second year now, they have been stolen! Even the signs that I made were taken, along with a wreath. This also happened last year.

My good friend, Brenda Jarmin, was hit and killed by a drunk driver last Fourth of July while crossing the intersection (at a crosswalk). She was with her family who saw it all. Needless to say, this drunk driver had several DUI convictions in the past. Brenda did not drink or do drugs. She was a loving, devoted mother who worked hard. Her family has recently moved out of the state, leaving this horrible tragedy behind them.

Brenda deserves to have a memorial over this memorable holiday weekend when she lost her life at 41 years old. Whoever took these things knows it. May God be with you.
