Brenda was a role model to everyone who knew her and a very special person. It was an honour to have her as my sister-in-law. She was truly one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Iam really going to miss her. She was an amazing woman who can never be replaced and I admire the way she lived her life and the light she bought to others. Brenda was a wonderful person with a kind spirit. She was a beautiful woman and her warmth and presence will be missed immensely. My heart goes...
