Brenda was a wonderful cousin with a kind and loving heart... like many in our family, I can't quite grasp that she's gone on to be with all our lost loved ones. We'll all see her there.

Jimmy, Shelia, Jody and Dean, I offer my condolences in the death of Brenda. Brenda and I worked together many years ago and she was always so kind, knowledgeable, helpful and such a joy to work with. We kept in touch for many years after her retirement by calling each other during the holiday. I will miss those conversation. I will pray for your family that our heavenly Father continue to abide with each of you and keep you strong.
