In 2005, residents who grew up on Cedar Street came together for a reunion. It was an unforgettable experience to hear 'Cedarians " give accounts of their memorable times growing up as neighbors and friends. I will always have good memories of Brenda, She is now at peace. The family has my deepest sympathy.

Brenda and I were classmates for eight consecutive years. She excelled in academics, especially mathematics. My petite and beautiful friend loved dogs. She could be seen walking to Mama Eva's house followed by a dog almost as tall as she was. Friendly and thoughtful, she will always remain in my fondest childhood memories. My heartfelt sympathy is extended to her loved ones. May God comfort each of you during this difficult time.

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

To: Mrs. Brenda's Girls, The Grandgirls, and The Family

I may not know much, but, this I know: Mrs. Brenda LOVED LOVED LOVED her girls/grandgirls. It was always a pleasure to run into her, and after our greeting, we would get straight to the girls. We have laughed, and cried many, many times, and prayed together several times. She wanted the best for all of her girls and her family. May The Lord comfort you now and always as you remember your Mother, Grandmother, and loved one.
