Brenda’s passing is so deeply felt by many, more than she could have imagined. Brenda was ready when God called her name so gently that only she could hear. No one heard the footsteps of Jesus drawing near… softly and ever so gently she closed her eyes and went to sleep… Jesus took you in his arms and into heaven. Psalms 23 says it best.
