I have known her my whole life. Never a dull moment and she was a very to the point, but that’s what made her, her! She will be missed very much. Bill, jennifer, Andy & the kids you all are in my thoughts and prayers!
I don’t even know where to begin sharing the memories. The laughs and friendship we shared I will always remember. It has been a long time since I saw Brenda but her spirit will always remain in my heart. Love to Bill, Andy and Jennifer.

My heart is broken! All the memories from high school to hanging out and raising our young children together will always be special! Brenda was so much fun to be around and even if you were having a bad day, she could make you smile. My heart goes out to Bill, Andy, Jennifer and the entire family. Mo Davison
Remembering the wonderful fun times in High School. She may have been small in stature but her heart was huge. My thoughts are with the family.

Edifying the fact that good and special things come in small packages, Brenda’s stature belied her energy, enthusiasm and joy that she was always quick to share with others. She was a wonderful classmate, and I am proud to have had her as a friend.
Too soon, too soon, but I can only pray that she now knows the peace and rest that she so much deserves.
My heart and prayers go out to Bill and her entire family. May God bless.
With most sincere heartfelt sympathy,

In this time of sorrow, may these promises from the Scriptures comfort Brenda’s dear family and friends. Jehovah God is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And he will wipe away the tears from all faces. Psalm 34:18; Isaiah 25:8 NWT. Brenda will be missed. Peace be with you all.
Our hearts and condolences go out to Jim Thompson(father), Brenda’s husband Bill and their children. Sending Support & Love from Cousin Virginia (Ginny) Ferguson Edgar & 1st. Cousin J. Kay Ferguson Jinks.
Cousin Brenda helped me so much after I lost my Dad. She helped me get back to life. Her personality was always “up and go”!! Heartfelt condolences for Bill, Jennifer, Andy & families; and for my Uncle Jim.
My heart is breaking but I was so lucky to have Bink as a dear friend in High School & to cherish our many memories after High School. Being a part of each other’s weddings to fun times as we were starting our families are memories I am so happy I have of dear sweet Bink. Love to Bill, Jenny, Andy & family. Sandi Berry
