We loved working with Brenda at Farmtrac. She was very special to us; always willing to help anyone in need. She loved to talk about her family and her travels around the country. We will surely miss her. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

My condolence to the family. Brenda was a remarkable person. We all loved and admired her at Farmtrac North America LLC. She was a brilliant, loving and caring Lady. We will truly miss her.

I can remember the day Brenda came in for her interview and her words to the CFO went like this "The person you see here today is the person you will be getting. What I am today is what I will be tomorrow."

She loved her family and was so proud of all of you.

My prayers and thoughts are with you.
