    Brenda will always hold a very special place in my heart. We met in Mary Kay when we were newbies to the business. Brenda set an excellent example for me then and over the many years of our friendship. I will cherish her laughter and compassionate heart. Praying for Mike and the family. Praying that the Lord will give you all strength and peace during this difficult time. Knowing that Brenda is safely home brings us much comfort. The hope we have is now Brenda’s reality.

She was always smiling, friendly and one of my favorite people to sit with. Please accept my most sincere condolences. Brenda’s family will be in my prayers. I know she’s with Jesus, which makes it a bit sweeter for all who loved abd cared about her .
