Brenda leaves a legacy of loving others in a tremendous way. With a giving heart always ready to help everyone she could, she often made sure families around her had groceries, Christmas gifts and school clothes for their children, and other needs met, always quietly and humbly, never seeking recognition. She loved her nieces and nephews as well as her children's friends as her own, she regularly spoke words of life and encouragement, and was a faithful friend and prayer warrior. Her happiness came from seeing those that she loved were happy and she took great joy in her role as a mother and grandmother. Brenda frequently reminded her family and friends to "Go with God, and God will go with you". She loved God, her family, and her friends, and will be greatly missed on earth, but she's received her ultimate reward and is now running down the streets of heaven!
