To Brenda's family, I am so sorry and saddened for your loss. All who knew Brenda will forever remember her laugh, her craziness and her wit. We were friends for more than 45 yrs. We had so many fun times as teenagers doing crazy and stupid things. She will be missed terribly, but never forgotten. My condolences to her family.
