Brenda meant so much to me and she will be missed more than words can say. Brenda was always there for my mom when my sister or I couldn't be. Even as little kids, Brenda would take my mom shopping or anywhere she needed to go. As mom grew older, who was there for my mom...Brenda. When mom fell ill, Brenda told me that she would be with us to the end and she did exactly that. She was a woman who stood by her word. Brenda, I loved you dearly and still do. You will be missed but not forgotten. Thank you for all you did. My thoughts and prayers go out to Ray, her sons: Jason and David, her siblings: Charlie, Olaf, Charlotte and Linda. I love you all. Scott

Brenda was a person of faith and she loved talking about our Heavenly Father. She was the best big sister a person could have and I was the lucky one. She wasn’t just my big sister but my best friend as well. My heart it shattered and I will be forever broken but I know what she’d tell me “to toughen up and live”! I have so many good memories of you that you will be forever embedded in not only me but my kids and their kids! I am so heartbroken I have no more words but that I love you so much and I’ll miss you so much and I will until we met again with all our loved ones in heaven! God needed an angel ♥️
Brenda had great faith in God she was a very kind and sweet person
