Jim, Michael & Joseph, I just found out about Brenda's death via her Instagram account. Besides holiday cards, we'd lost touch since her NPS days. She was a hoot! and I have many fond memories of our payment team travels together. She had such a huge heart and was an incredibly kind person. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. With sincerest sympathy, Connie Dworak Rus

The world we live in is not the same without Brenda. She was the nicest, most helpful person. I picked up mail daily in the building where she worked and always stopped by to say hello and see her beautiful smile. Although I haven't seen her in quite a while I will always remember that smile.

Dear Brenda: You were such a cheerful, sweet, and gentle person here on Earth. We are all missing you so very much. It was such a blessing for me to become your friend when you brought Jim, Michael, and Joseph to the St. Bede Scout Troop...you were kind and nurturing to all the boys and so very helpful in abundant ways. Rest in Peace, now that you are in Heaven with God.

Rest in peace, Brenda. You will be greatly missed. You were such a sweet soul and so good to my brother and my family. You were truly like a sister to me more than just my sister-in-law. It breaks my heart to think that you are no longer here to share life with. Fly high with the angels. Love you ❤️

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Brenda’s passing. We will never forget how welcoming she was to our family when Brad joined the Boy Scouts. She was always so joyful. I’ll miss seeing her at Sunday evening mass. Our prayers are with you at this sorrowful time.

Jim, I’m so very sorry for your loss, I can only pray for you and the boys to find some peace in these hard times. I will always remember Brenda for her kind heart, her love to share stories and her friendliness (even before we met in person); having the opportunity of knowing her was a true joy. I’m praying for you and your family.

My heart goes out to Jimmy, the boys, her parents and everyone else’s life that she has touched. Brenda was such a beautiful light and had such a zest for life. I am so blessed to have known such a beautiful soul. I have so many good memories with her that I will cherish forever. Although we lost touch with each other from time to time, we still picked up exactly where we left off as if we had been hanging out every day. Brenda, I will truly miss you, but I know our souls will meet again. God bless you.
