Dear Traci, Ronnie, and other family members:
I first met Brenda when we purchased our house from her more than 17 years ago. I could tell from our brief encounter that she was a caring lady who loved people. Dealing with her was a pleasure.
My prayer is that the Lord will comfort you in your grief as only He can.
Love, Jimmy
