James, I haven’t seen your Mom in years but I always loved Brenda, Rachel, Jimmy and the entire family!
Many good times and good food was enjoyed by all when they got together.
My thoughts are with you at this time of loss but remember Brenda is with her beloved Teddy having a big reunion!

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!!
