Don and Family; We were saddened, and are still in shock to learn of Brenda’s passing. It finally came to me today, we did loose a great person, but heaven gained another angle to look down on us. I have many good memories of high school days, FFA trips, demolition derby’s, and all the mischief we all got into. So glad that the two of you got retire and be together. Even though we were not besties, this has hit pretty hard at home with us. Cheryl and I were talking about you doing our wedding, and every time I needed to smile, she got it out of me. She is being placed in the same cemetery as my dad, so we will pay our respects, and visit her often. Don you are in our thoughts and prayers. B.B. walk with god, until we meet again my friend.

Brenda taught me to love myself and not to care what others think. She was my only female friend in Kansas and always there to listen. I am so glad she got to see my Wisconsin home and meet my new born baby about a year ago. I’m here for you Don and so sorry this world has lost a good soul. Peace, Love and Dogs.

Justin, Taylor, and family. My sincere condolences for you all. I met you once at my dad’s church, and you sent many Christmas cards that really brightened our family’s living room and warmed our hearts. When Charlie Pearl was born, my dad was just sure that she was named after him 🙂 He really thought a lot of you guys, and I know if he were here he would want me to extend my sympathies. May God keep you in his comforting arms in the days to come
