I am sad to hear about the passing away of your Mother.
I just read the memorial on the Harry Moore website and noted the reference to your Mother having had a “keen sense of humor and an infectious laugh”, which resonated with me as her great qualities remind me of you. I can only imagine how deep the feelings and how difficult a time this must be for you.
Nancy and I wish you and your family peace. You are in our thoughts.
Sincerely,
Lynn & Nancy

Mrs. Brenda was like a mother to me for many years, I along with other friends always called her and knew her as “Mom. She was always such a caring, funny, beautiful and loving person. I never heard her complain about anything, not about life in general or even when she was in pain from her back or other ailments. She was a very strong person, a devoted mother to all of her children and a wife that never failed. Mrs. Brenda will be terribly missed by all she knew. I send my love and condolences to the family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
