Brenda’s Memories

Over the Christmas holidays in december 1994, Rick and I took Patrick and Jason, our sons, to Mazatlan for a holiday. We also got married there to everyone’s surprise!

On Christmas morning at 11am. Rick and I were married on the beach in Mazatlan by a judge. Patrick and Jason were our witnesses. Hotel guests from all over the world sent us pictures. Patrick and Jason picked my flowers for me, my wedding dress was purchased from a roadside vendor and our rings were bought at a market place. We later purchased wedding bands at home in B.C. There were beautiful fireworks on the beach that night.

It was a wonderful wedding and an exciting holiday.
I will never forget this Christmas!

These are some great photos of The Lagoon in Stanley Park before the great real estate boom of the late 1980’s.

I love the flowers in my garden! Many photos have been enlarged and framed as art for my house, or used as destop savers on the computers. The Prairie Cactus photo was taken in the morning dew right after the sun started shining.

From 1978 to 1993, I sent many hours modelling. My best income years were from 1990 to 1993 when I did newspaper ads and car commercials. This was really fun but was very hard work.

Patrick was born into the Audley family on July 29, 1977. Bruce is his Dad and his paternal grandparents were George and Katherine Audley were are unfortunately, both deceased.

Patrick, my son, was born on my 27th birthday – July 29th, 1977. He is a wonderful and caring son. Patrick is a computer genius and has a photographic memory. In his early years, we recognized that he was “brillant” and could absorb anything at any time. Throughout his life, he has brough me much happiness. I am in awe of his intelligence and very proud to be his mother and his friend.
