Jack,
I just learned of Brenda death. I am so shocked. She was a beautiful lady and made me laugh when I would run into her at Stein-Mart about customers.
You and your children are in my prayers.

Even though our families have not been in contact for some years we have wonderful memories from kindergarten thru high school. The many school activities & times at the ball park & basketball in the back yard. We love you & know that your angel will always be with you.

Our condolences and prayers go out to Jackie, Eric, Shannon and all of their families. We share your sadness during these difficult times. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
She was such a wonderful wife, mother and grandma she will be missed by everyone. She was always there for anyone in need. She always had a smile and a word of cheer for you, as she went thru life at 100 MPH. Our families were fortunate to have her for the time that we did. Memories of Brenda will live with us and always comfort us forever.
I'm sure all of her family and friends were alongside Hoyte & Nell, waiting for her arrival with open arms, surrounding her with love.
Fond memories of Brenda will remain with me forever.
R.I.P. my dear cousin and God Bless You
Love ya,
Fred & Emily Milligan
