My mom, Carol Braeges, drove bus with Brenda. She always said the nicest things about Brenda. At my mom's funeral someone handed me a magnet with a Bus Driver's Prayer. When I saw her picture I realized that it was Brenda. That magnet brought me so much comfort at a difficult time. It hangs on my refrigerator and reminds me of my mom, and now Brenda. She truly was an exceptional person. Know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you all at this difficult time.

December 6, 2007
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Chip, Sonya, and Mike I was devistated to hear the news. Your mom was a great lady. She was legendary as she touched so many hearts. I graduated with Chip and met Sonya bowling at Chicks. Mike was a good friend of my deceased fiance Ralph Peacock. I feel for all of you as I too just lost my mother in September. Just know that she will always be with you. Losing a mother leaves a huge empty space in your heart but try to fill that space with happy memories and good times. It does get easier to deal with. Now is the time to turn to family and friends they will help you get through this. God Bless and take care.

Words cannot express how much we will miss Brenda. Her smile would light up any room and her presence always generated an upbeat energy felt by all she came in contact with. She was the most honest, genuine and happy person I've known.
I worked with her for 9 years as a fellow Lake Shore bus driver and was fortunate to become a good friend. I'll always remember the annual field trip to Crystal Beach (I think the driver's had more fun than the kids) and all of our monthly get togethers at each other's houses.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you, Chris, Chip, Mike and the rest of the family. You will be in our thoughts and prayers and dear Brenda will forever remain in our hearts.
