Brenda was my cousin, friend and namesake. She was Brenda Joyce and I, Brenda Louise. As teenagers, we spent many fun times together. She was always loving, patient and encouraging. She had a glowing personality, wonderful sense of humor and a hardy, bubbling laugh. I love and miss her, but will see her again someday. May God continue to bless and strengthen Brenda's son, Fernando, and her/our entire family.

Brenda was a delight to work with at Oakridge Neighborhood Services. Every time I saw her in the morning we would talk about how she was doing and she would ask me how I was doing. She was always happy and never complained about anything. I will miss her.
