Rest in Peace "Bubbles".  Another bright light gone from this world but an even brighter one in the next.

I remember Brenda for having had a sweet spirit and a positive outlook.   I’m sure that part of her never changed.

The Class of 78 lost a true gem earlier this week, I first met Brenda in band when we were attending Central Elementary, over 40 years ago. She had a beautiful voice and a very bubbly laugh, thus her nickname, “Bubbles.” In the last years I discovered what a strong woman she truly was. She fought this horror called cancer, never giving in, all for the love of her dear family. I will remember you always sweet lady. You will be missed.

I was able to attend the Knoxville service for her this morning. The minister said this morning that her last breath and word was at the end of a prayer  "Amen".  Rest in Peace Brenda (Bubbles).

So sad to hear of Brenda. What a precious angel she was on this earth and oh what joyful music she will share as an angel in heaven. She touched many and served her purpose to the fullest!!
