Beloved wife of Christopher P. Brehm, devoted mother of Logan Christopher Brehm who will celebrate his first birthday on August 19, 2007, and loving daughter of Mary Elizabeth Summers, our Brandy went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, after a tragic automobile accident in Big Timber, Montana. She and a friend were traveling to attend Chris’ graduation from the U.S Army Basic Training School prior to his induction into the Washington National Guard.

Brandy was born on July 26, 1985, at University Hospital in Seattle to Jeff Hammons and Dori Casey. In 1990, she came to live with and later was adopted by her mother, Mary Summers, in Redmond. She married Chris Brehm and soon was blessed by Logan who is such a handsome and vivacious little boy and such a joy to his parents, grandparents, and extended family.

Brandy was an extremely conscientious mother completely engrossed daily in Logan’s welfare and upbringing. We will always be grateful for the Lord allowing Logan and Brandy to accompany Mary recently to visit their large family in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Logan will always be known as God’s “miracle baby” having been untouched in an accident that took his mother. Our family is so very grateful to the residents of the little town of Big Timber who took him unto their own, loving our little boy until his family arrived. For these angels of mercy, we will always be grateful!

In addition to Logan, Chris, and Mary, Brandy is survived by her sisters Christina (fiancée of Shaun Stevens) and Brittany, along with her adopted sister, Shannon McWatters and her son Zach. She was very close to and loved her grandparents, Naida and Robert Berg of Seattle as well as her birth parents, Jeff and Dori.

Her grandmother preceded her in death earlier this summer. Brandy’s extended family includes her aunts and uncles: Diane and Jim Summers of Bellevue, Karen F. Summers of Bellevue, Bill Summers of Bellevue, Leah and Paul Summers of Sydney, New York, Suzanne M. and Craig Peless of Idaho Falls, Idaho, along with many cousins and other family members who will miss her dearly. She is also survived by her father-in-law Carl Brehm who showed Brandy much love and kindness, as well as Chris’ large extended family.

On Monday, August 20, 2007, Father Dave Rogerson, Pastor of Saint Jude’s Catholic Church at 10526 166th Avenue NE, in Redmond, will celebrate a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 A.M. preceded by a private family viewing.

A trust has been established for the benefit of Logan and anyone desiring to make a contribution can do so at Prevail Credit Union, 17601 140th Avenue NE, Woodinville, WA 98072, account # 0003549054.

Finally, a family friend will be compiling “Dear Logan” letters which will be shared with him when he is older. If you have a memory of Brandy that you would like to contribute, please forward them to her Mom for the memory book.
