My condolences to the family and friends of Brenda Stiers. She had a wonderful career and still managed to raise a family.
Sudden death is so hard and it is my observation that more people will leave a message on a on-line guestbook like this one. After long extended illnesses, people are more prepared for a death, but it is much harder for the one dying, I believe.
I work with Brenda's daughter Gretchen Stiers in Washington, D.C. at the Dept. of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO). She is new here and we are getting to enjoy her.
Regards,
Mrs. Lydia A. Rice, Rockville, MD

Dear Stiers Family,
So sorry to learn of your loss! Mrs. Stiers was a beautiful woman inside and out. I have such great smiling memories of her from my youth - encouraging (and tolerating) Heather and my many adventures; slumber parties in the Lockwood Ave. house basement; sneaking extra cookies at coffee hour at 1st Congo of OG!
She will be missed!
Hugs to Tom, Gretchen, Heather and the entire Steirs family!
Love from the Vaughans and McCormacks
