Brenda, we were distance cousins but I never forgot you. I remember playing together when we were young always enjoyed it. I was hoping to see you again , but will see you in Our Lords’ house. You are now with all your loved ones, and my loving husband. We will have our day of rejoicing when we meet again. I will never forget the times we had together, what a joy it was to see you again after about 45 years apart. I love you and I will miss not seeing you on this earth.
Love You

Brenda (Granny) thanks for adopting my family as your grandchildren. I loved our visits and over night stays together and our shopping trips and you teaching me so much about life, about being a parent, and teaching more about crocheting. I will forever miss you and always love you! You have heard me cry laugh and everything in between. You have been my rock and are the reason I moved to Arkansas. I thank you for everything and I am so glad I got you for the last two years. It has been amazing. I miss you already! Love you bunches!

Our parents attended Forest Tower Church Baptist Church together when we were young, many enjoyable memories over the years. We grow up, marry and go our separate ways but always love hearing from each other through family and friends. Condolences and Prayers for all the Family!!

Brenda had a big heart and great advise. You will be missed so much. Thank you for adopting my daughter and family and being their granny. Thank you so much for loving them oh so much. I know you weren’t ready to leave but God had other plans. Knowing you are not in pain no more makes it just a little bit easier. Until we see you again please watch over us down here and give loves to my momma and all the loved ones up there with ya.. 💔💔😥

Was so privilege to have known Brenda and her family especially she and her sisters. Also, very blessed to have worked with Anita, Brenda and Vickie at different times and companies. As a result of friendships formed with Brenda's loving family, I was included in several family gatherings and events as you became one of them. Loved every minutes of those times together. Brenda will be missed, but she will always have a place in my heart. Sincerely, Nadine
