I just wanted to offer my sympathy for the loss of your daughter, sister and aunt. I have fond memories of Brenda growing up and as we have reconnected over the past several months, I have been touched and amazed by her compassion and care for others fighting cancer and life’s challenges and she battled her own. Peace be with you all.
My deepest sympathy. I always thought Brenda would be around to have that lunch that we never got around to sharing. I miss her friendship. She was one of a kind – a real jewel.
Sorry for your loss. Brenda was a wonderful individual and she will be missed. She is up there in heaven now where she feels no pain…..God will take care of her till you (we) see her again.
God Bless you and your family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family in this time of sorrow. Brenda was a great person who touched so many lives. She will be missed greatly by all who knew her. God’s garden just gained a Rose!
I wanted to extend my deepest sympathy for your loss. I worked with Brenda and enjoyed her spirit. We would always talk about KU, Roy, and Bill. Even her political thoughts were entertaining. I will miss her but grateful for her memories and strength.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Brenda was always such a friendly person. She will be missed.
Dearest Virginia & Bob,
My heart goes out to you in the loss of dear Brenda. It has to be so difficult for you. We fondly remember the brief time Brenda spent in Tucson and we got to see and know her better. She was such a strong young lady and her optimistic determination and spirit were admirable. Just know I send my love and understanding. You are in my thoughts & prayers.
Lots of love,
