Brenda was a beautiful soul and I very much enjoyed working with her. I always loved hearing her stories about her family whom she loved with every bit of her being. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

As my sister-in-law's mother, Brenda made sure to let me know that I was part of her family. She sent me pictures of family and always kept in touch. When my mother passed away, Brenda added me to her nightly text to family and friends. That meant so much to me and has been a source of comfort and inspiration. Brenda was always thinking of others. She is much loved and will be greatly missed.
