Robby & Ricky, I'm so sorry to hear about Brenda's passing. Even though it's been many years since I've lived in Abbeville, I have often thought of the good times Brenda and I had at Great Southern when we shared an office. She was so kind to me and always made me laugh with her great sense of humor. May God bring you both peace and comfort now and always.

Ricky, Robby and Carole, just wanted to let you know we are thinking about all of you at this sad time in your lives. We know Brenda was tired of trying to breath. God showed his mercy by taking her to a better place. I know your hearts are heavy and there is an empty spot. You have many memories to carry you through that Brenda would want you remember. She would not want you to dwell on her suffering these last few months. I have lifted up Romans 8:26, for Brenda and all of you, as she has suffered. We know we have an awesome God, he will see all of you thru these trying days. We love you and will be seeing you soon. Barbara and Chuck
