So sorry to learn of Brenda's death. Always thought of her as a friend. She was so nice just like her Mom.

Trip to Floyd today to honor my friend BRENDA Merida. BRENDA, you were always so kind and I truly loved seeing you each visit we had. You and Lennie showed the world what true love and a great marriage is all about. I looked forward every year to receiving your Christmas card which always had a personal handwritten note. Rest In Peace, dear friend. You will be missed.

Len, my sincere condolences. Brenda was a dear friend through school. Her Dad and my Dad were friends in high school and shared a love of classic cars. I was envious of the 40 Ford that Brenda got to drive some. We will all miss her. David
