I knew Brenda from her employment at Caromont and CMC. She was a hard worker and always made sure that I got what I needed when I would call. I would be so happy when she answered the phone. After business was done, we would talk about other things. She was a strong woman, even through her illness. RIP dear lady!

My sincere condolence to the family. May God bless and keep you. Annie Margie Rowe
