Hello to all,
Needless to say, there is a piece of my heart that is empty now too. And also, I am regretful that I did not take the time to get to know your precious Mother better. She was greatly loved and admired by everyone who knew her. I sure admired the way she seem to accept & love everyone. She always had that beautiful smile and a kind word for all who took the time to speak to her.
She was one of God's precious saints,who I'm sure has worked for her precious Lord her whole life.
It is sad down here,but there is much rejoicing in heaven with her God & the family who has gone on before her.
We love you all & will continue to pray for peace & comfort to you all.

We know you will miss your mom she was such a sweet lady We remember when we all went to Church at the Baptist Center. After a supper or meeting she would play the piano and we all would sing. We all sure had a good time to-gether. We are very sorry a good friend is gone..

I have many fond memories of Ms. Flanders back in the 60's when we were all teenagers. I saw Joey Burke not long ago and immediately thought of Brenda and how that boy had a crush on her and how Ed and Wilma treated all of us so well. God bless you all.

Dear Brenda and Family, I am very saddened to hear about your loss. I loved Mrs. Flanders dearly. I will definitely always thank the Lord that I knew such a wonderful person. I know she is happier than ever now that she is with our Lord and Savior, and of course, united with Mr. Flanders. May those thoughts bring you comfort and joy. I will miss her and will always regret that I didn't see her one last time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
