To the Claverie and Thomas Families,
We were just in NOLA last week visiting the old neighborhood, made a phone call only to learn of Brenda's passing.
This beautiful photo of Brenda, reminds us of the smile she always had while growing in.
Sonny, Anne, Wayne, Jean and family, please know the Peace and Love of the Universal Creator during this time. Yes, she will be missed, however, she will always be with us.
Sincerely,
