Of Cape Girardeau, Missouri was granted her angel wings on Thursday, November 20, 2014 at her home with her family by her side. Brenda's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Her gentle smile, tiny fingers and baby soft skin brought so much joy to our family.
