Brenda was a wonderful, engaging, knowledgeable person, who was always the "glue" to any group. My heart goes out to her husband and children. She will be sorely missed by all.

I knew Brenda has to be close to 20 years, and I can honestly say I never had but a pleasant interaction with her . Her spirit was kind and strong, and I will miss her as I know the family and greater family will deeply. Only the fondest of memories for her she was a model for me as to how to interact with others while on this earth. Martha, Nancy and I want to express our heartfelt condolences and will miss her deeply.
Sincerely, Tom , Martha and Nancy .

My heart goes out to your family. I knew Brenda was a special person when I first met her through Mark. She was always kind and funny and so focused on her family. May the love she obviously held you in surround you with comfort now.

Schaafsma Family,
Though we can never match the feelings of your loss, those of us that worked with Brenda at Pfizer/Zoetis will miss her greatly. She had a great professional attitude and handled her job in a very common sense manner that made working with her an enjoyable process. I also will miss the lunches with Brenda as part of the "gang" and the conversations that we all had with her, many of them involving updates about what all of you were doing. Brenda was taken way...
