Our deepest sympathy to all the family on hearing about Brenda’s passing. We were so saddened to hear this news. Brenda was such a sweet, kindhearted, considerate person. We loved her dearly. She had a great visit here with us in Newfoundland many years ago, we had a lot of fun. We also had a few really great visits when we visited Maryland. I know she had some health issues over the past so many years. No more suffering for her now.
Love to all, Dennis, Tony and all the Wood family from Newfoundland.
May the winds of Heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear. How much we love and miss you and wish that you were here.
RIP Aunt Brenda
