I don´t even know where to begin. Brenda`s house was our safe Haven we lived in Morgan. She lived on Morehead. I remember her mom Joyce, beautiful well dressed lady that was taken too soon as well. We had so much fun with Brenda at that house and I do vaguely remember her brother that lived in the back, though I don´t never really remember seeing him Brenda and my sister Shelby were in the same grade and of course I was the tagalong but she was also my big sis. I´m not gonna say we didn´t get a lot of trouble together, but we sure did have fun doing it. She was on my mind a lot. I was wondering where she went. God has her now a wonderful soul and she will truly be missed , Wanda Caldwell.

I just heard tonight in the grocery store about your mom/grandmother. I am so sorry to hear that. She was very sweet and always happy. She was like a sister to me growing up. I hadnt seen her in many years but the last time I saw her she was happy and we talked for a while. Ill miss her and be thinking of the family. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. God Bless

Samantha and Zac,
I don't even quite know what to say....Iam truely so sorry to hear about your mom. She was always there for all of us and I really believe she wanted us to learn from her life so we would not hurt in ours.
Sam, I know we don't see each other often, but I want you to know that I think you are the greatest example of the goodness your mom left on this earth. You stay strong and always cherish that little girl-our children will show the world what we are, just like your mom will carry on in you.
Love From All Of Us,
Sheena and JR

I only knew Brenda for a few months but she was one of the nicest, kindest, & lovingest people I have ever met. She talked alot about her love for others & was especially proud of her daughter Samantha & her baby granddaughter Myleigh. She was a hard working, happy, joking person & alot of fun to be around. Her smile seemed to brighten your day no matter how bad you felt. The Creasy family will miss her very, very much.

God Be With All Of You,

Samanths, Myleigh, and Zac,
I was blessed to have known your mother. She was such a ball of energy. She had a very loving spirit. I hope she knew how much she was loved. I know her loss has changed me, I appreciate people and life so much more, and care even more about impacting their lives, like I know your mother/grandmother did. I wish she were still here. I miss her calls so much... I pray God grants you peace. She is such a loss to all of us.
Call Cindy or I if you need us. God bless.
Barbara and Team Nurse.

Dear Samantha, Zachary, Myleigh (and other family),

I had the opportunity to meet Brenda only one time, a couple of weeks ago, at my grandparents house. I immediately liked her. She seemed like one of "us" and fit in just like a part of our family =) My dad and aunts (Roger, Bonnie, Peggy & Ronda) all had nothing but good things to say about her, how good she was with Grandma & Granddaddy and how much they really enjoyed her being there, to help them and take care of them.

I am so sorry for your loss. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Samantha,Zac & "Mi" I was so shocked by your mother's death, it was so unexpected. I talked to her on Monday evening after she went to the doctor, and then the next thing I know she is in the hospital. She was loved like one of our own family members and will be sadly missed. If any of you need anything just let us know. God Bless You All

Dear Samantha and Zac and "Mi",
I am so sorry and shocked to hear about your mom. She and I had really gotten close in the past months and I loved her like a sister.
You three were the light in her eyes, you are all she ever talked about. Zack, I never got the chance to meet you but I feel like I did. And Sam I need to talk to you more when things are calmer. You can call me any time, my number should be in her cell phone, if not Bonnie has it.(I don't want to put it on here).
Just remember that Brenda is in a wonderful place and she has love all around her and she is smiling down at you. She was an angel here so I know she is an angel now. Myself I can't wait to she her smile again. Keep strong and love that baby and tell her everyday about her Grandma.

All my heart!! Ronda Creasy Parr
