I went to Immanuel with Brenda and was so saddened to see that she has passed away. Brenda was always the smartest, sweetest girl in our class. And even though I had lost touch with her over the many years, it is quite obvious that Brenda had really touched a lot of people and was a wonderful person.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Larry, I'm so sorry to hear of Brenda's passing. Brenda was our sons CHIP teacher. Daniel (Mr. Moll), you were my math teacher at Miner Jr. High School. I have so many wonderful memories of Brenda at Lake Opeka with the Des Plaines Community Band. As stated, she was the "BAND MOM" and loved the Des Plaines Community Band. Please know that you're in our thoughts and prayers.
