Brenda was a "she-ro" to so many for so long! I continue to admire her faith, perseverance, resilience, and humor. My condolences to her beautiful family, most especially to her five children. I loved Brenda and I love each of you. I have no doubt your sweet mother, this beautiful Spirit-Woman, is laughing and dance, dance, dancing in the gentle arms of God as she keeps watch over each of us now.

I am sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. When we lose someone it is a very sad time. Why is it sad? Because death is unnatural and it was not Jehovah God's purpose for us to die. Why do we die? The Bible teaches that we inherited sin from Adam.-Romans 5:12 Is there hope for them? The Bible says yes. Acts 24:15 teaches that our loved ones will have life again by means of the resurrection hope. There is more information about this hope at www.jw.org

My sympathy in the loss of your mother. I have many memories of Brenda from school and cheerleading at Bells High School where we truly were "one big caring, happy family". Your mother will always live within your heart!

We want to say we are thinking about you and the loss of your Mom. Brenda was always willing to encourage both of us to "live one day at a time." She understood the ups and downs of addiction. We will continue to live and learn from her example!
God Bless You!!

Thinking of all of you during this difficult time. I will always remember Brenda for the time she gave to anyone addicted to drugs or alcohol. She truly lived the AA program and gave it back to others. My prayers are with the family !

Monica, Mandy, Brandy, and Wes . . . I am so very sorry for your loss. Brenda was such a vibrant, loving, strong, funny, inspirational; the list could go on. I was hired at Bosch in the same group as her. We worked together, partied together, and had oh so many conversations and long nights together at Bosch. I remember the day she was retiring. She said she decided to do it and put her paperwork in before she changed her mind. I will miss her so much. She always had a smile on her face. I thought it was just amazing how you could pack so much strength in such a tiny body, but your mother did. May God be with you during this very difficult time.

To a friend that I will miss, the rides to and from Bosch the laughs, all the talks we had even the misunderstanding, most of all the friendship. Your family will be in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers go out to your families. Brenda was the best friend I have ever had in my 54 years..She loved unconditionally. She was an inspiration to everyone she came in contact with. She taught me about the power of love and forgiveness, and the grace and mercy of our heavenly Father. My prayer is that your family will find strength from that grace and mercy. She will be profoundly missed. I feel so blessed that I was given the privilege of knowing her and calling her my friend. May God bless each one of you.

Monica, Misti, Brandy, Mandy, and Wes --- I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom, Brenda, and I have been friends for so many years. When we lived across the street from each other (and you all were still very young), we laughed together, went dancing together, and spent lots of time just talking. Although we had not seen each other in a while, we both knew our friendship was true and treasured. My heart goes out to each of you on your loss of such a "special Mom". She loved so much and so unconditionally. She will always live in your heart. May the wonderful, special, and happy memories comfort you. I will see you this weekend. Sheron
