  1. So very sorry. She was a beautiful girl. I loved her and she is with her.beautifulsweet daughter❤️🙏💐

  2. Went to school with Brenda but never knew her well. I remember how pretty she was. God bless her to rest. Sympathies to family.

  3. Brenda was the cute, darling little girl growing up across the street from me when I was a teenager. I don’t presume to understand the magnitude of grief she must have been feeling these last months, but as I have my own wonderful daughter, I can imagine. How excruciating for her it must have been. I pray she is rejoicing today, dancing across heaven with Chloe. My entire family is also praying earnestly that Abba Father embraces Brenda’s beautiful family and gives each one peace and comfort, as only He can give.

  4. Our thoughts and prayers go out the the family and this time of sadness. We are so sorry for your loss.

  5. Uel and Doris,
    I am so deeply sorry for all the loss you have experienced this year. I pray God will give you peace in knowing she is happy again and with Chloe, for what you are feeling right now….she has been experiencing for months. Hold on to your wonderful memories until you see each other again. Gods peace to you and your whole family. Love you guys!

  6. I worked with Brenda for a long amount of time. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. Love you Brenda my friend!!You and your sweet baby are together again. Doris God Bless you and your family during this sad time.

  7. Brenda and I reconnected after almost 40 years when my Dad was a patient at Pisgah Manor. She realized he was my father and checked in on him, even though he was not on her wing. It was a sweet and caring gesture and it was good to see her after all these years. When I heard about Chloe earlier this year, it broke my heart. This breaks my heart again. Love and prayers for peace to all of you that were close to Brenda.

  8. Brenda and I worked together..we had our kids about the same time..our daughters grew up together and were good friends. I will miss you my friend.
