I was so sorry to hear of Brenda's passing,My deepest sympathy to her family, Brenda and my husband worked together at the Coast Guard mess hall,where they became close friends.Then one day when I picked my husband up from work he was outside talking to Brenda and when we saw each other she hugged me and she told him she knew me longer then he did,We went to school together.
I will truly miss her. Rest in peace my friend.
