Marvin, Devin, and Derick, I can't believe, Brenda has been gone for almost two years now. I just want you to know, that I still remember her, on a daily basis. Everyday as I pray for all of us still here, and those who have gone before us, Brenda comes to mind. She is truly unforgettable. My love to you and the Kulash family.

Brenda taught my children at Meadowbrook and was a favorite and a requested teacher.When my oldest entered college she would still return to visit a few favorite teachers and Brenda was at the top of the list.I can not thank this wonderful woman enough for all that she gave my children.

Brenda taught all three of our children. After the incredible experience that our oldest son had with her, we made sure to get our other two children into her class.

She was a great teacher and truly made a very postive impact on our entire family.

Brenda we will always hold you in the highest regard and miss you. Thank you for all that you have shared with us.

Brenda's passing is a loss to so many. Prayers to her family and friends. She has two of my three children in her class. She was the 2nd grade teacher we hoped for as each of them entered second grade. She was the type of teacher that had the perfect mix of stern but fair and loving. My family deeply saddened by her passing. She has been through so much these past few years. Though I know she will be mourned for a long time to come, I will take comfort that she is pain free and well now. God Bless!

Marvin,

Please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing on Brenda. Though I've never had the pleasure of meeting Brenda, I have learned much about her from talking with you and listening to the stories you have shared during our visits together.

You are always such a positive influence on me whenever we talk, your peronality is always upbeat and humorous. I hope that you find comfort in knowing that Brenda is in the comforting hands of God and is no longer suffering.

Our best wishes to you and your family, Marvin.
