In Loving Memory of Brenda

Our family is heartbroken to share the tragic and unexpected loss of our beloved sister, Brenda, who was taken from us far too soon. She was just a couple of months away from her 61st birthday.

Brenda was a loving mother to her two boys and a devoted companion to her little dog, Bear, who rarely left her side. She had a warm, generous soul and a deep passion for cooking—always trying new recipes and bringing joy to others through her food. She was the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome and loved.

We are raising funds to support her sons, Joey and Ryan, as they face the unimaginable reality of moving forward without their mother. Your support will help ease the burden during this deeply painful time and allow them space to grieve and heal.

Tragically, Brenda’s passing is part of the growing crisis of violence against women—another life stolen too soon by someone who should have protected her. By sharing her story, we hope to not only honor her memory, but also bring awareness to the devastating reality of femicide.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers. We are truly grateful for any help you can give during this time of heartbreak.
