I was on a committee with Brenda a few years ago and we had the nest time and such fun together at meetings and planning (while having a cocktail) at her house. She was years older than I am but it felt like I was talking to a good friend from high school! I was just thinking of her the other day when I passed her house and how cozy and chic it was. She was such fun and so smart, both intelligent and emotionally astute. She always spoke about her family and her face lit up when talking about her grandkids. A bright light is gone from Broad St. She will be so missed! My condolences to her family and friends.

Was acquainted with Brenda Anderson at Hollings through my volunteer commitment. I remember her most fondly. She was one of my favorite patients for lack of a better word. A most gracious lady with a sharp wit! My condolences to her entire family but in particular Johnathan who spoke the eulogy at her service. Peace be unto her and also with the entire Anderson family.
