comfort at this time…In my prayers..
Went to school all thru elementary and high school with Brenda. Praying for family. Carolyn and Gerald Stamey Class of EHS 1967.
Was best friends with Brenda in high school. We used to go skating at Enka Roll A Rama, & ride around in Etha’s car. We would go to Brenda’s home after school & Brenda would fix us a steak & home fries. Those were the days. I had tried to contact her a few weeks ago to see how she was doing. So sorry that I didn’t get to see her. My deepest sympathy to her family. 💔
Sincerely, Dennis W. Jordan
So sorry to hear of the loss of another classmate of 1967 prayers for the family. ann
Words can not express how sorry we are to hear of Brenda’s passing. It seems like only yesterday we were at the softball field cheering on the girls. Brenda was a big part of our Brooke’s life for 3 or 4 years and we have missed every moment of the friendships we created. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time.
