BRENDA CZAJKA BARNES

Dear Barnes family. It has been 4 years since your dear mother Ms. Brenda Barnes passed away. I was aware of her health struggles before she passed away and I was aware of what a courageous and hard working woman she was. I was truly touched by her example. I just want you to know that even though I don't know you or that I ever knew your mother, I actually remember her and think of her years later.

To the Barnes Family I send deepest condolences on the loss of a great lady; your Mother. I did not personally know her but was a friend of her cousin, Emogene Stevens. Through Emogene I followed Brenda's career with great admiration. A tenacious woman but a caring Mother who forged a brilliant career for herself. I further picked up other news of her in various periodicals. I know you all cherish the time you had with her in your lives. May she rest in peace.

Kind thoughts are with the family in your time of grief. May fond memories bring you comfort during these difficult days. Psalms 9: 9, 10

Sorry for your loss, please rely on God during this difficult time. 1Corinthians 1:3,4

Dear Barnes Children,
My deepest condolences to you and your entire family on the loss of your mother. I worked at Sara Lee for 14 years and knew three of the CEO's and then Brenda. She was a breathe of fresh air when she came aboard the company.

May you find peace in knowing your mother has left you with many wonderful memories and life lessons.

Sincerely,
Susan Ray

My condolences to the family of Brenda's, I know she truly will be missed.May you have beautiful memories of her during this difficult time and let the God of peace comfort you at this time of need (Phil 4:6,7)

Linda,
I am so sorry to hear about your beloved sister. I know how close you were. I just found out. I would have loved to come to the service in Naperville. I tried e-mailing you but evidentially the address I had was changed.
Brenda was a remarkably smart, gifted, and ambitious woman -( as all iof the Czaijka sisters were). Your mom was one of my favorite roll models. I still remember her fondly also.
Brenda left this world way too soon.

Dear Brenda's Family,

My sincere sympathies for your great loss. My path crossed with Brenda in the fall of 1972 at Augustana College where she was my next door roommate in the dorm along with Laura my freshman year. I was only there one year but I always remember her for her intelligence and work ethic but mostly her amazing laughter and we shared many.
We had lost touch through the years, but I will always treasure her memory and remember those great days.

Most...

Erin, I fondly remember your mom as we sat on a blanket in Waveny Park on Saturdays, and watched your soccer games,her joy in spending as much time as possible with you and your brothers, and the warmth that she and your dad exuded to all who were welcomed in your home in New Canaan.. May the many loving memories help comfort you at this time. Paula Hannon
