Brenda was my fine neighbor in the Groves townhomes in Apex. I recall a few delightful BBQs in her patio and parties at my place. She had an infectious laugh, a lively spirit, and a caring heart.

I worked with Brenda. She was truly such a sweet heart! We bonded over our mutual love of cats! She was so excited for me when I got my kitten. She also really loved to talk about her grandkids and how funny they were. Brenda was so sweet. Heaven gained an angel.
