I was just going through some old VHS tapes from ACT made in the early 90s. She was always such a giant personality... we hadn´t spoken in over 25 years, but all the same, it´s strange to imagine there is a world in which she isn´t in some part of it running the show.

To Berenda's family, my condolences. Berenda touched many children's lives, mine included. I worked for her in the office and the stories I have! I have thought of her fondly many times over the years.

I will remember you always as the teacher who taught me confidence and that regardless of my teeth my smile was beautiful. I enjoyed my time modeling under your wing and learned so very much. Over the years we lost touch but you kept in touch with my mom and I was saddened to learn of your passing. Fly high Ms. Brenda and watch over those you love, for they will love and miss you always.
