Lesa, Charles and family, we were sorry to hear of Brenda's passing. Having been semi-neighbors for years and working with Brenda at Y12 years ago I always thought a lot of her. She was always fun to be around and was friendly when we would see her out around town. Treasure all the wonderful memories made with a great mother and wife.
