    I remember when I first took care of Brenda when she came to Donalson and I’ve been taking care of her every since. She was def a good woman and I’ll never forgot Brenda K. I’ll never forget our talks we had or the laughs and I’ll def never forgotten those days I would get on her nerves from aggravating and joking with her so much. Brenda I’m sad I didn’t get to see you one last time to give my goodbyes but you will forever be in my heart ❤️ and I’ll always love you!!
