Love and prayers for the whole family. Aunt Brenda was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed.
Sis Brenda was such a sweet lady, I loved the times we was able to be in church services together. Her smile and laugh was contagious… her love for the Lord was great. I am thankful that I was blessed to know her.
Prayers for the family during this time of great loss.

We are so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful lady. Although she is in a much better place it is never easy to say goodbye, even for now. . . . Love and prayers to all.
May you rest in peace. We will miss you so much cousin Brenda
Brenda was a very sweet person! I loved here & am so glad she was my friend!
Me and Brenda were very close friends a long time ago. Her parents lived 2 doors down from mine. We played dress up and wore her mother hi heels! That was the good ole days! So very sorry for the family.
We are so sorry for your loss. May God comfort you all during this time of sorrow. You and your family will be in our prayers and thoughts. She was a sweet and special lady.
Quinton, Shirley and Stephanie Taylor
Prayers for your family. Loved Sister Brenda!
