Brenda Jeffcoat

I just wanted to add a story about how important Brenda was to us and how she was really a valued member of the Bill Painter Family Singers.

There was a time that our family was singing for another church and of course, Brenda couldn't play for us. So I had another pianist that I knew play and record the song for me, but it just wasn't the SAME as when Brenda played for us. I thought and thought and remembered that we had video taped our performance at State Street one time. So...

Dear Mike, Emily and John--and all of Brenda's family, 09-16-09

We were deeply saddened when we heard of Brenda's death, but rejoiced because we knew she was in the hands of God--perfect and without pain. PTL!!

We loved Brenda dearly and you know we love you, too. You will all be in our prayers as you have been for many years.

What a blessing it was for Royce to have Brenda as the pianist while at State Street Baptist Church. Because of Brenda's sweet...

You all have fought a very long and hard battle. What a tremendous example of God's love you all are. Brenda was such a kind and sweet person. Her presence has been missed in so many places. The witness of your family has brought only glory to our God. I pray He gives you peace and comfort now that Brenda suffers no more.
Love,
Jimmy and Debbie Chavis

Emily: I know you dearly miss your Mom! She was such a beautiful Lady inside & out & I enjoyed all the times I spent with her during school Mom days! I Love You Sweetheart! Please call on us for anything anytime!
Mrs. Suzie, Michael & Family.

I'm gonna miss her giggles and kind and gentle touch with our little ones at State Street. It was not her way to take credit or draw attention to herself but her quiet way and loving heart amazingly did just that. I have tapes of her with Megan, Jeffrey and probably Caroline in Mission Friends and hope to someday share them with you. My heartfelt prayers are with you all.

I was very sad to see the notice in the paper of Brenda's passing. We went to school together and I liked her so much. Brenda was genuinely lovely, softly radiant. My sympathies to her family.

As many have already stated, I too will pray for you Mike and your children as you continue to walk through this grief. I worked with Brenda at the Building in the 90's. I remember when she was carrying Emily - she even did "pregnant" with a special dignity. All of us are richly blessed to have known her and to have received her kind smile. I always loved to hear her laugh. She was an amazing woman of grace and kindness. May God grant you peace....

Mike,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Brenda was such a beautiful person. We will all miss her dearly.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Brenda was a wonderful person and will be remembered fondly.
