Clive, Dianne, Wayne, and Brenda's extended family-- We were saddened to hear of Brenda's death to this world at so young an age. Praise God for the hope we have in Jesus to be reunited for all eternity. We have so many fond memories of a vibrant and energetic time in her life--SCAMBA activities, Brenda singing "Were You There" behind the baptistry at the MVBC Good Friday services, your travels, the wonderful parties at 4th of July and Christmas, and so many other memories. Brenda touched so many of our lives and will be missed. You have been and continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and give you strength and replace the hurt of loss with the warmth of so many wonderful memories. Our love to you all, Ellie and Leon Bateman

Dear Clive and Dianne: We loved and enjoyed Brenda. She had a warm and loving personality. We remember her from the Friday Night Bible Study in the 80's and 90's. She had a beautiful voice and hearing her sing was a treat. We loved the parties she hosted every year. She was a kid at heart. We will miss her. We love you all.
