Henry, I am so sorry to hear about Brenda. I know you will miss her greatly. I still remember walking to Good's Drug Store downtown after we would get out of RHHS. Little did we know then that one day both of us would not only share our first name, middle initial, but also in the future carry the same last name as our married names. I enjoyed all the many conversations Brenda and I had throughout the years whether by phone, or running into each other somewhere, as we discussed the many mix-ups concerning our names, as well as sharing news of our families and lives. She was always fun to converse with. She will be greatly missed by many, but we all we see her again one day in God's Glorious Heaven. May the Lord comfort you and the rest of Brenda's family as you learn to live without her presence here on earth, but REMEMBER, she is not gone completely, but just receiving her rest and rewards in another place - just the next part of our life's journey that we all must take.

Henry, I'm so sorry to hear this news. Brenda was such a special person. Filled with so much life. She was always a listening ear during college when I went through confusing time. Your door was always open when I just needed to get away from the dorm. Brenda cooked me numerous home cooked meals. You are in my prayers as you mourn her loss. I know she was a wonderful partner in life. What a great hope to know she is with Jesus, and you will see her in heaven.
