Dear George and Family,

Mr. Guiseppe and family:
My deepest condolences for the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother. I´ve missed seeing so many of our "crowd" at the 7:30a Mass at St. Agnes. I was very much aware of all that Brenda did for our parish, God bless her. It was a pleasure to see you both at Mass each week, and I will remember you always in my prayers. To Brenda: Well done, Good and faithful servant!
Peace be with you all,
Carol Herbert

Dear George and Family,
Please accept our deepest condolences and love. We give thanks to God for the many times we witnessed Brenda´s enormous love and faith-fill service to others.
Each day as I pray from the Magnificat, I recall that it was Brenda who led me to its prayerful use. Each time I see altar linens beautifully ironed I recall the many times I witnessed Brenda arriving at St. Agnes with her basket of carefully laundered and pressed linens or watched her straighten the altar cloths before holy Mass.
She tried to replicate a clean, holy space at Cherrydale Health and Rehab Center when monthly Mass was offered for the residents, personally scrubbing tables, or cleaning soiled floors. Her love of the Rosary and response to a resident´s request began weekly recitation that grew to welcome all residents.
Memories also include you as a team, always working around St. Agnes: at daily Mass, the annual Bazaar, or other activities in the Parish Hall where a barbecue could be set up. I think that Brenda may have even subbed for you as usher when your back or knee acted up.
Lastly, we remember the chalice for Africa with our names inscribed to honor our 50th anniversary.
Most sincerely,
Rosemary and Walter Locke
