Brenda has always been a very special person in my life; I have a lifetime of so many great memories with her and her husband (my friend) Scott. This is heartbreaking and Brenda will be deeply missed. With the love of family and friends, we will always keep Brenda’s love and spirit alive in all of us. Rest in peace my friend, I hope we have a chance of meeting again.
Brenda was always the life to any get together or party and she lived life to the fullest.
Our girls weekends/nights will definitely not be the same without her.
Brenda was a great friend of mine since our days growing up in Brooklyn Park. I will miss here very much. Always a smile. Glad to see you. May God be with you Brenda.
If Brenda was going to be there, it was going to be fun . Her motherly nature spilled over every time I was at her house.She would not allow outside drama or world problems ruin time spent with family and friends. She had an amazing charisma that drew people to her. The only person I knew that could be both the life of the party and the mom to everyone at the same time. I always admired her dedication to her family and her work ethic. Such a well rounded beautiful human being. She will be missed . Love you Brenda.
