Ronnie & family, this was a shock to hear of Brenda’s passing. We have worshipped together for the past 4 years. She was such a wonderful person! I will missed her dearly.
Ronnie, I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Brenda well, but know you all were together a long time and shared a wonderful life. Depend on wonderful memories and know she’ll always be close in spirit until you see her again. Who would have thought all those years ago, we would have lived and had the experiences we have. When we were in school we were free as birds and loving life, never gave a thought to loss or pain. That’s the way it should be. Youth is such a gift and we must cherish those wonderful years and times of total joy. Know you are in my prayers, take care of yourself. Bonnie Sealock
Ronnie, so sorry for your loss.
