We are so sorry to learn of Brenda's passing. Our prayers and sympathy go out to her family, especially Charlie and Matthew.
Brenda was one of those friends you might not see for some time but as soon as you were with her, your friendship picked up like it had only been a day or two.
We enjoyed working with Brenda all those years at Frisco/BNSF.
She will be missed by so many.
Jim and Linda Grigsby
