Dear friends,
Terry Brenner has asked me to pass on the news that Coach Jon has passed away peacefully in his sleep this morning. As funeral arrangements are pending, we will let you know the details when we know more. Terry wanted to let everyone know that they are currently in good hands with their family and close friends. She is looking forward to remembering Jon with everyone during the memorial service.
Please join me in praying for strength and peace for the Brenner family at this time. I will try to keep you posted as more becomes known. Please contact me if you have questions.
On behalf of the Wave Swim Team, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the support that you have shown to our Coach (and to us) during his brave bout with cancer. We appreciate it more than we can say and it is so comforting to have such a great group to lean on for support.
