I wish I had words of comfort and sustain for you in your grief, but I know there are none that will take way any pain that your family is feeling now. My heart aches for you, and my arms long to embrace you.
Although, words seem futile now in the midst of your sorrow, they are all I have to give you. Please accept these written words as warm hugs to wrap your self in, and know that I am holding your family in my heart at this sad and difficult time.

To the Gaskin family remember that God will never put know more on you than what you can bear. Brenda was a lovely person, which we all grew-up in the same neighborhood her smile and kinds ways will never be forgotten. And may God bless each and everyone of you as you go through this grieving period. In my father's house their are many mansions if it were not so than I would not have said so. Brenda is in good hands now. May God Bless this Family.

Dear Family,
I wanted to let you know that you all have my greatest sympathy. We know that Brendas passing will leave a void in the hearts of all those who knew her.
I remember Brenda and the Gaskin family from back in the days of our youth. Everyone knew and respected Brenda and her brothers. I want you to know that my prayers are with you.
When a loved one died a poet once said
This day is remembered and quietly kept,
No words are needed, we shall never forget,
For those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen and unheard, but always near,
So loved, so missed, and so very dear.
Family, may God bless you and comfort you.
