I dont know you all but she sounds like a sweetheart of an angel; now your guardian angel. I’m sure Jesus welcomed her home and into His loving arms.

I first got the pleasure of meeting you in 2017.. From the moment I first met you, I felt so blessed by seeing you and watching you interact back n fourth playing and leaning on my broth…your brother n law. He would tease you and you would lean your head on him.. Brenda, when I first walked into the house…you said I was pretty. You made me smile… Brenda, you were the dearest, sweetest young lady I had ever met. You have touched my own little family’s hearts to, by your loving presence . We will always remember you and think about you often..Your voice is in my head and will never be forgotten. Your favorite words to say was, ” I LOVE YOU”.. How could anyone NOT Love you ……such a beautiful soul..You are now no longer in pain and made perfect by our Lord Jesus..No more sadness, & no more ain & tears. We love you forever Brenda. R.I.P. with our Lord and Savior. @—>— <3 -
