Dear Joan, Don,& Josh. I’m truly sorry. I can only imangine the pain you’re going through. It’s so difficult to understand the loss of this ‘Special Lady.’ Brenda touched many lives as she walked her Life Journey. I met Brenda the 1st day our freshman year of High School. We shared some stuff in thirty-three years. My daughter Amy, still has the nickname Brenda gave her twenty years ago. Time passes so quickly. I do know Brenda loved each of you with all that she had to give. As the days come & go, and the world moves on, your lives will never be the same. Her spirit will remain with you. Forever there will be a memory to make you smile, somtimes cry. I wish for you, Serenity, Strength, and the Gentleness of Peace, and that you find every single thing that will put your heart at ease. My Heart Goes Out to You… Cindy Devern(Moss) Nichols

Joan,
There is no love more precious than the love a mother has for her child.
Throughout our friendship, Brenda expressed her deep love for her son, Josh. Yet, she never failed to mention the love and respect she had for the woman that gave her the inspiration of motherhood.
With all my love,
Diane
Dear Joan & Don,
We are very sorry about Brenda. We will never forget working at the bread store for her. She let us run the cash register, stock shelves and feed old bread to the birds. She always told us how pretty we were.
