I remember when Sheena was a baby and she just loved having her over, hugging, kissing her and claimed her as family before she officially was. I remember she was always giving the kids more than objects. She gave them her heart; unconditional love. The kids just ache to see every summer. She would play with Eric on the floor while he was on his stomach trying to get him not to fuss. She just played with him for hours with the biggest smile on her face. Brenda along with Jeanne and Kelly would let me get sleep by watching the little ones. I also remember Eric’s baby shower where we all had fun feeding our men water from baby bottles. She through together the perfect party. She was even the first person to give Willy his first taste of chocolate icing. I remember When we spent time watching the news about the war supporting each other through the heartache and fear. When Sean was a baby and we was over at Robin and Cindy’s all of us set out on the deck and she was so excited to have six grandchild. You could see the pride in her eyes as we all laughed and reminisced about old feuds and new friendships. She was a loving, caring person who we all loved and will miss dearly. There are so many more memories. I just don’t have the time to say them.
Martin, my heart goes out to you, Jeannie, Kelley and Robin. The pain of losing a Mother or Father is almost unbearable. Time will ease the pain. I know from the experience of losing both my parents. Find peace in knowing she is safe in the arms of our Saviour, free from pain and illness. Treasure your memories until you meet again. GOD BLESS all of you.
So sorry to hear this.She was always so friendly to me.
Robin, Martin, Kelly Jeanne, abd Jerry, Kari and I are so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Brenda was a second Mom to Kari and a very ver good friend to me. She was the rock that held you guys together. But know that she will always be in all our hearts and in God’s loving embrace. She never knew a stranger, and was a wonderful person. Just remember when your tears are flowing, she wouldn’t want you to cry, but remember all the wonderful memories and some of the goofy ones too! Love you all, Beth Davis and Kari Sherfield

RIP BRENDA WE SHARED SOME GOOD TIMES TOGETHER
I have spent the last few days racking my brain trying to come up with a story that would symbolize mom. I have several that are heartfelt and some that are funny. However I think the best thing is to explain the feelings that were felt towards mom. When I entered Mom’s house a sense of calm always came over me. I never released it as a young adult, but as an older adult I realize that calm was mom working her magic. She never judged you for your thoughts or feelings. She would listen intently and give you some small piece of advice that made you rethink or confirm your decision. Mom had a quirky sense of humor and her laugh was contagious. She always had a hug and a smile waiting for you, especially when you needed it the most. I remember thinking when I got pregnant with my children that she was the example of what I wanted to be as a parent. I know that Kelly and Jeanne have been that kind of parent towards Matt also. You get the same feeling of calm as you enter their home now. The loss one feels when you lose a loved one is overwhelming. I have to believe that she is lying on her cloud in heaven with her cup of coffee in one hand watching us down here and gently guiding us to the next great adventure we need to take. All my love and prayers along with the hugs that I wish I could deliver in person are with all the family today and over the next few weeks as you come to peace with God’s plan.
