    I worked with Brenda at the Bedford Medical Center, she was a part of our crazy lunch group, I have many fond memories of Brenda. We also shared a date for a family reunion at Spring Mill. Michelle....I just learned of your Mom's passing today, I would surely have come to her visitation. So so sorry for your loss, she was a beautiful lady.
