Interment at Evergreen Burial Park.
To the family of Brenda, you have my condolences in your loss. God’s original purpose was for the human family to become many, to fill the earth, and to live forever upon it! What happened? God warned that death would enter into the world as a consequence for Adam’s disobedience (Genesis 2:16, 17; Romans 5:12). However, because of his undeserved loving kindness, he allowed his son Jesus to die to reverse the effects of sin. May you have faith in his promise of the resurrection of the dead (Acts 24:15).
My heart is sadden in the passing of Brenda. Know that your family is continuously in my prayers.
