Kay Christensen says
Dear Herb, Sheridan, Cheyene and family members, I am so saddened at Brenda’s passing. I do believe she is now home in Heaven, pain and cancer free. Probably dancing, wrestling calves, riding, and roping, smiling that beautiful smile and laughing her contagious laugh. It is hard to believe she is gone. She was such a kind, loving, strong lady, who I know, loved her girls, her husband, family, and friends with her whole heart! Prayers for comfort and healing to you all. Her memory lives on through so many. She will never be forgotten. Love you guys, and Herb, I am always here to listen, talk, or whatever you need.

LeeAnn French says
Herb I was so sorry to hear of Brenda’s passing, but happy for her at the same time. I know you and the girls will miss her every day. Know that I have been thinking of you and your family.
Marie says
I would like to express my sincere sympathy to the family of your beloved Brenda. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Brenda personally, I wanted to share with you comfort from God’s word at John 5:28,29. Here we are given the wonderful hope of the resurrection of our dear loved ones here on earth just as Lazarus was in John 11. Take comfort in knowing that every tear that falls from our eyes does not escape our loving heavenly Father’s notice. He knows the depth of our feelings when we lose someone we love. (Psalm 34:18) Share your memories with those who surround you for the memories shared are the ones most truly cherished. May they bring you a sense of peace and joy in your hearts as you begin to heal. Take care of yourselves and each other during this very difficult time.
Daryl, Bobbie and family says
We want to send our love to you Herb, Sheridan and Cheyenne. This is gonna be tough, I know because you all loved and respected Brenda deeply. And I’m sorry for your loss. The world is a better place for having had her here, if only for a little while. I want to echo the lovely note that Marie sent! I was one of those who was honored to attend Brenda and the girls’ baptismal service. She confessed the Lord Jesus as her savior. So for Brenda to be absent from her body means that she is present with the Lord. The Lord God is the God of all comfort, and he will ease your burden if you will trust Him. Love you guys!
Mary Pyette says
