    To Brenda's Family: She loved God and she loved her family and friends. Brenda was a wonderful boss. I'll never forget our trip to New York in December. She shared her love for flowers with me through the Victoria Garden Club. I loved Brenda and I will surely miss her smiling face. A wonderful person!!

    TO: Brenda's Family-Brenda and I knew each other as young girls. It was many years later that we would work together in Victoria as married adults. Joe, I am so sorry for your loss; I did not know Brenda was battling cancer. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time". Mary

    Joe and family, we each have a life journey, and our time here is limited. We form many sacred bonds with Brenda, God calls us to cherish these bonds. May you have comfort through faith in Christ, our Lord.
