Everyday Brenda would pick Addison and Leah up from Y Club, she’d have on such colorful outfits and shoes. That, is what I remember most from knowing her for such a brief time. I can’t tell you how sorry I am for your loss, but what I can tell you is I know you’re strong, you’re family is strong and a moms hug lasts long after she lets go. Always thinking of you guys.
Tim and Family, Mike and I will certainly miss Brenda, what fun we use to have together. Always a smile, a laugh and just such a sweetheart. Our sincerest condolences. Love to all, Paula and Mike Lantz
Dear Shawna,
I was truly sorry to learn of your mothers passing. I only had the privilege to meet Brenda once in person, but I did rely on her for many years to help me through all of my phone calls to the Union. She was kind, funny and so patient with me. You and your family have my deepest sympathy and I will keep you in my prayers.
So sorry to hear of your loss. I spent a lot of time speaking with Brenda over my years at the trading centers. Prayers to all
HeyTim,
I know you don’t remember me, but I met you on a job many years ago.
Through our conversation, you let me know that Sweet Brenda was your wife and how much you cared for her.
How attracted you were to her.
How you guys were mates.
I have never forgot that.
I met Brenda when I first came here from San Diego, Ca back in 98.
Every time I had some questions, she was there to answer them for me.
It may have taken a day or two, but she NEVER FORGOT!
I will miss her alot!
Being new to the area then, I found a friend and comfort in knowing her.
Thank you for sharing her with all of us.
My heart breaks of the news of her passing.
Just found out at our meeting tonight. 716
Another Angel to watch over us.
