Brenda was the ballerina who wanted to so dance. To know Brenda was to understand her smile first and the tenderness of who she really was and could be. Brenda was a part of my heart and a part of the frabic of my soul. When you are in high school love is still very young. I thank Bob Hope said it best " Thank you for the memories". I call them Precious Memories.
Brenda you may be gone but you will not be forgotten. To the family I send smiles and warm thoughts of her new journey. Her father and the father await her arrival.
Sincerely,

Mommy loved her family and her true friends. Nothing she loved more was a good time. Looking good and having money. She was the one I could go to and know the truth would be told and she still does! Thank you to all who have been here for my grandmother and me. Mommy was and is still loved just as much as she loved.
I will deeply miss my friend and mother. I LOVE YOU MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!

I have known Brenda for many years, working not directly with, but in the same building with her, well over 15, and maybe the entire 20 years she worked for ODJFS. Brenda was always nice and had a kind word to say. RIP Brenda...Your kindness will be missed. Your family should praise GOD...for I know in my heart, you are sitting with Him in heaven.

My sister and friend for 50 years. You will surely be missed but always loved. We've been through our ups and downs, just like sisters, but always loved each other dearly. I was always there for you through your trials with the loss of your loved ones and it hurts me terribly that I can't be there now for you, but my sister, I am there in my heart. Aunt Neal and Nikki, my heart is overwhelmed and I truly love you and feel your grief, but I know there is strength in the family and God is watching over you through these times. I will be home soon and will see you soon, Brenda will always live on through us.
God Bless You and Keep You and I Love you

Dear, Nicki and Family I am so sorry to learn of the loss of your loved one. You are in my families thought and prayers every night my little one's ask for bleesings for you. Brenda always asked about Abbey and David and loved looking at their photos as they grew. I will miss her very much and hearing her call me Susan. I go by Michele yet she always called me Susan. We talked a lot over the 20 some years we worked together. Know that God and Brenda will watch over you always and that she is in a better place even though it's not easy now.
Many Blessings

I have always known Brenda to be a kind and loving person; she will be missed. We shared many stories and secrets over the years and in some ways, we will still continue to share. All the family are in our prayers at this time of sorrow. Take comfort in knowing that now your special angel is now your guardian angel and will be watching over you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
