I’m so very sad to hear of Brenda’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Sending love and may God’s love surround you in this time.

I am so sorry Jason and all of the family. I was reading her obituary and just didn't know how talented and her surperb work ethic Brenda previously possessed. I only met her in her very recent years after she had retired. I also lost my mother on Christmas Eve, many years ago. This does stick with a person on such an important family event. I surely appreciate your wonderful family. Godspeed! ❤️💔💝
To Brenda’s husband and children. I am a cousin to Brenda and haven’t seen her in a long time but I always thought about her lots of times. I remember when June and Margaret first brought her to see us . We saw a lot of each other growing up but as time moves on we didn’t get to see much of one another anymore. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you comfort as only he can. Love to all Linda Loyd Roark and family.
I’m so sorry to hear of Brenda’s passing. Sending love and prayers.
