Brenda D. Shivers

Brenda, wasn't just a person I worked for she was just like my family,and I took care of her just like my mom.I loved to try to do things , paint her nails or brush her hair to make her smile or just give catus a pig ear. I will always be greatfull for all we shared day in and day out.and keep it close to my heart.

Brenda was the most intelligent woman I've ever known, and also very funny and generally a joy to be around. I haven't been in contact for many years but I kept tabs on her career and I was truly proud of her. All of us who knew her are in shock. My deepest sympathy to all the people who loved her.

Brenda was a very special person and will always have a special place in our hearts. Sis will be greatly missed! All our love to Lydia and Peter.

We would just like to say Nhamo, Fungai, Gamu and Viko Mumbiro will miss Brenda dearly. When our daughter understood what it meant, that Brenda was in heaven, she cried. Viko is five now but spent her first two years of life with Brenda while my wife assisted with Brenda's care. We all came to know and love her dearly through her last days. Our deepest sympathies go to Peter Boxer, Lydia and the rest of Brenda's family.

Lotus
When I cry
Little cat paws come to sit on my chest,

And between the sobs and stroking
My sorrows soak the pillow,

While a feline voice and rasping tongue
Remind me I am not alone,

And finally
I allow myself to be comforted.

Thank you Sis for all you gave me, I miss you!
