Along with many great nieces, great nephews, & grandchildren. Brenda's heart was the size of a grizzly bear, and at times, she responded as one as well. (Only because she loved you!) She loved spending time with family, friends, and especially the kids. She had a strongpassion for plants, gardening, and animals. She was a loyal friend, a shoulder to lean on, a good laugh, and a dedicated Aunt. There was no job too big for B to solve. She taught respect, love, laughter, and to just embrace yourself. We all know B was really good at expressing herself, and who can't love her for that?! She will be greatly missed by all!
