Dear Roger, Stephie & Nessa,
Words escape me as I think back over the years and remember Brenda with great fondness.  Know that friends and ‘family’, both far and wide, continue to think and pray for you. 
With my love and deepest sympathy,

Dear Family,
My heart is broken to hear of Brenda Sue’s passing.  I cherish growing up together, sharing secrets, cornbread, tree limbs and love for each other.  Time passes quickly and to me it was like yesterday that I stood by her at her wedding. She was so happy and beautiful in the wedding dress Roger’s mother had made for her.
We were terrible at keeping in touch, but when we did talk it was as if time had never passed. 
I pray for each of you as you find your way through this terrible time.  I know she loved  Roger and her girls and enjoyed every minute of being with her grandchildren.
Love to all,

Dear Roger, Stephanie, and Vanessa, It was a privilege to attend the funeral service for Brenda on Tuesday.  You honored Brenda with lovely comments and thoughtful insights.  I feel certain she would have approved of all that you did.  It grieves me to think that some of the grandchildren may not remember her.  Please, always keep pictures of her in front of them so that they will remember.  I will keep you all in my prayers.  Please know I care deeply.  Carol Huber

Brenda and I were classmates at Grundy High School. It has been so good to reconnect with her the last few years through Face Book. I was so shocked to hear of her passing. So very sorry for your loss. Praying for strength for the family and friends during this time.  Patricia Dales

I am humbly appreciative of the friendship I shared with Brenda. To her I say, may the Lord bless you and keep you. He has given you peace. To her family, I pray you will remember her vitality and sweet beauty. Know that she has touched so many lives and left us better people through our relationship with her. She obviously had much love for her husband and children/grandchildren. I pray God will see you through this painfully difficult time.
