HowCool.com tragically loses one of it's own


 

Brentina Dawn French 
August 18th, 1966 - March 6th, 2010

"I miss you"

Brentina died in a tragic car accident on her way home Saturday night from a local car enthusiast event held every March in Famoso Ca., called March Meets.

Brentina, or as her friends call her, Tina worked with us in the Howcool office. She worked in Accounts Payable/Receivable and managed our payroll, amongst everything else I asked her to do. She was an amazing employee and friend. She was an honest, hardworking, caring and loving individual. She loved her family and she loved life. She had a huge heart and big ear. I know we often talked about everything from boys and love to quick books and filing. It's so hard to type this right now, the tears pour knowing that she won't be there every morning.

If you look at her myspace or facebook profiles she was looking forward to attending March Meets. "With or without you" she posted. Tina lived life to the fullest and understood that everyday is truly a gift. I took this from her facebook profile:

"Most recently I have learned not to take life for granted. To enjoy those around you, for you never know what tomorrow may bring. Not to be so selfish and self absorbed. In this day and age, all of those things are easy to do. You have to work twice as hard to not let the bad part of society swallow you up. Not to just make good decisions, but to make the best decision. Your path and destiny is what you make it. And when you do make mistakes, be sure to humble yourself by owning up to them. Take one day at a time and enjoy every moment with your Family and Friends. Because they are the only ones who truly love you unconditionally."

We ask that you keep her family in your thoughts and be safe!
