Thought about you today. Remembering all the
U-Haul runs. I laugh when I remember the shocked look on your face when the clown at the Vince Gill concert planted that kiss on you! The day will come when people won’t think about you, but today is not that day! You were loved!
In the three years since your passing I have learned to laugh more, smile more, love more and let go of the things that don't matter anyway. Life is too short - I miss you just as much now as ever. One day we will all be together again, this is something I know. Take care, sis, until then!##imported-begin##Becki Page##imported-end##
I became close to Brenda during cheerleading. She and I used to ride together on the long trips and talk about everything and everyone. She loved her family and always wanted children. I'm sure she was an excellent mom. I moved shortly after we graduated in 1992 so I have not seen Brenda in a while but I will never forget her or her smile. All of my prayers are with her family and daughters.##imported-begin##Shannon Day-Sharp##imported-end##
Dear all family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I met Brenda when she first started going to McKenna Elementary School. I graduated with her also. She was a caring person. My prayers are with you all.

Dear Bob and Family,
Jerry and I are saddened to learn of Brenda's death just a few days ago. Since Roberta's death, we have not kept in touch like we should. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Remember to lean on God and even though you may not feel His presence, He is with you, carrying you with through this sorrow. Going through our old photos, I found pictures of Brenda and your family @ Nathan's first birthday party. How beautiful Brenda was. She was feeding him chocolate cake and he had it all over. Her smile was so infectious. Our family will keep you in our prayers daily. I miss and cherish our family history. Fondly, Jerry, Karen, & Nathan##imported-begin##Jerry & Karen Bailes##imported-end##

To Brenda's Family,
As a mom of two children I cant imagine the loss that you are feeling at this time.I met Brenda through my daughter Rhonda. My first impression of Brenda was one of great enthusiasim, she had a booming laugh a huge smile and told you exactly what was on her mind. Tall, pretty and blonde. She was the joy of any mom and dads heart. I also have a daughter with two little girls and the ache that I would feel for them would be almost unbearable. Please know that Brenda will always be with you in her children. their laugh. their smiles, and their beautiful faces. She has left behind a wonderful legacy in her two children. She will be with you always in your heart and your memories. When you are missing her just look there you will see her, feel her, and remember her, cry with her and laugh with her. I know that she will always be in mine, and my families. Because of the beautiful woman that she was and had become.She will be remembered always by the memories that she created in each and everyone's lives,and the love and friendship she imprinted on their hearts. For this she will never be forgotten.Please know that our hearts go out to you and your family and that we loved Brenda. And we will never forget her.##imported-begin##The Andersons, Mark, Denise, Rhonda, Christian and our families##imported-end##
Dear Peck & Becktold Families,
You would probably remember me as the one who backed my parents van into your shop one day after visiting Brenda. I am so sorry for your loss. I haven't seen Brenda in 10 years but she will always be one of the best friends I ever had. If it wasn't for Brenda I wouldn't have what I have today. She made me go on my first date with my husband even though I didn't want to go, now we've been married almost 7 years, and I thank her for that. She will always be in my thoughts and I will always miss her. Thank you for making her the person she was. I hope someday my daughters have the privilege of having a friend as wonderful and caring as Brenda. Your families are in our prayers.##imported-begin##Rhonda (Anderson) Estep##imported-end##
It has been some time since I've been around, but the news of Brenda's passing has deeply saddened my heart. (My love goes out to you Dave, Pat and Angie.)
Brenda and I met at Lake Retreat in 5th grade. We were in a cabin of little girls who loved horses! At the time we attended different grade schools, but after the summer we met up again to embark together on the transitional and often awkward years of middle school.
Some of my fondest memories of Brenda are from when we cleaned stalls together on Saturdays, in exchange for riding lessons. A Saturday morning would go quickly as we jumped and rolled in the enormous pile of sawdust used to line the stalls. By lunch time, most of what was lined, was our ears, eyes, lungs, and clothes! The lady who owned the stables also owned a brigade of ornery little ponies. For our lunch breaks, Brenda and I would each pick a pony, and ride together to a suitable lunch spot in the field...that is
if our ponies didn't buck us off before getting there! We would eat lunch, discuss middle school politics, sing Heart songs, and of course laugh.
When I think of Brenda, two words come to mind to describe her: Boisterously joyful.
I left after our junior year in high school and Brenda and I didn't really cross paths after that. She did however remain in my heart and mind as an integral part of fond memories of the past. She will remain there forever. She was a pillar of strength.##imported-begin##Gwen Copeland (Jen)##imported-end##
My prayers are with you all in this time of loss. I went to Dental Asst. school with Brenda, and from the day we met I absolutely feel in love with the warmth that came from her every time she walked into the room. She was so dear to me and I will always remember the joy she brought to my life. I will continue to pray for you all, and hope that you will carry Brenda's strength, and never ending love with you always, as you journey through life... I love you Brenda, you will forever shine in my heart!##imported-begin##Jodi Kugan##imported-end##
