Mr. Dolder and family,
How do you say good-bye to someone who you feel will always be with you? Ms. Brenda touched the lives and hearts of many. She will be dearly missed. She taught us a lot about life...to embrace adventure, to laugh when you aren't quite sure what else to do, to try not to sweat the small stuff, that it is okay to treat yourself every now and then, to value your career and co-workers, that no challenge is too big...many of life's lessons she made look easy. Her smile and laugh was contagious. I have many fond memories of her, but perhaps the most important is that she made everyone feel like family. She will always have a special place in my heart. I hope that you find peace and comfort in her many wonderful memories.

Love Always,
Hillary Locklair
