Sharon, and all of Brenda´s family; I am so sorry to learn of Brenda´s passing. I had known her since I was probably 10 years old! I haven´t seen her in years but I will always have fond memories of her. My condolences to all of you and may you all find comfort in knowing that she is in a much better place, free of pain or sickness, wrapped in the loving arms of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
