This time of year I normally would be shopping for the best & funniest birthday card I could find for my dear Godmother Brenda. Cards were something she got so much obvious joy in personally creating. They always contained the best, most loving, & comical endearments. I too have a November birthday. And I will dearly miss the card I would receive from her like clockwork my entire life, all of 59 years! I love you Brenda, thank you for being in my life and my being my mother’s best friend through hers. You will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace ♥️ I hope to see you & Don and all my loved ones in Paradise, Kelly

I grew up around Brenda, cause her and my mom (Cindy) we’re pals from way back before me. I know Brenda and Don has a good life and they were great folks to be around. I always thought Brenda was my godmother. Now she is! Chris Musgrove

“Grandma” played a role in many of the best memories from my childhood. I wasn’t close with my own grandparents, but she treated my sister and I like we were her own. She was was more than just a neighbor. She was and always will be family to me.
