I knew Brenda from the Library. She was lovely, inside and out. We had lost touch but I thought of her often. My condolences.

Eddie, I´m so, so sorry to hear of Brenda´s passing. I know we haven´t seen each other in many years when life took a new direction. You two were such good, wonderful friends to me during the highs and lows. I will never forget you and will pray for you and your family. Take good care of yourself and never forget that no one can ever take away your memories. Love to all,
