To Brenda's Family~ I was very saddened to hear of Brenda's passing. We went to highschool together and had so much fun in band. I was able to reconnect with her a few years ago and she still had the same smile on her face she always did. May God be with you.

To the family of Brenda Benson,
I was so sad to hear of Brenda's passing, I will always remember her smile, she sang with me in the choir at Harris Anderson Church, and I remember when her daughter was born, I think her smile was even brighter that day.
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels, by the stars and sky that pass that no one see, and she walks with Jesus and her love ones waiting and I know she smiling saying don't worry about me. Heaven has gained a new angel, I will truly miss.
