Brenda, you left us wondering why? You are still our friend no matter what. Did we fail you? I’m not a religious person but I believe your spirit your soul lives on. I do believe that. Someday I will see you again my friend. We love you Brenda.
I met Brenda before I started Collinwood back in 1982. She was a very kind hearted, humble, funny and beautiful young lady. I’d always see her working in CHS office. She always had a smile welcoming everyone who walked in. She will be greatly missed by all. Our condolences and prayers are with you and your family and friends.
Jeff, I was shocked when I heard of Brenda’s passing. My heart goes out to you in this most difficult time. I offer my prayers and sympathy in this time of grief.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I am praying for you all.
