So sorry for her loss. Sympathy to her family.Marilyn Murphy (Messick)
I sat behind Brenda in grade school often. She never complained, always was quiet and sort of shy. I am glad to see she was loved and enjoyed family. Our deepest sympathies to her family.

Goodbye, so long, and farewell to another quality member of our Class of 1965. Although Brenda seemed to be a quiet person, she was always friendly to all of her MCH classmates. Our sympathy goes out to her family.
