I am sad that thru all the years I never took the time to meet the wonderful lady that gave me a friend like Sheila...in all the times that I have had the pleasure of visiting with Sheila she has always had a smile for me and made me feel that we were close. I have known Sheila since the days that she and Lori and Tracy were in school and shared each others lives. Brenda had to have been a wonderful person to instill in Sheila the warmth she bestows on others. Celebrate is a wonderful way to honor this lady in her life. Bless all who remain to remember her in all she loved. I know I am blessed to know one of her greatest accomplishments. Sheila, find that star each night that you can and talk to her, she is listening. I love you my dear."Mom Jean"

Brenda was my next door neighbor. She was a vivacious, kind, warm-hearted woman. My whole family loved her. My 6 year-old daughter spent many hours popping over for a quick visit. Brenda loved life and we were so blessed to know her!
