Message for Sandra and Carl Merritt:
I am so sorry to learn of Brenda's passing. I somehow missed the notice in the paper, else I would certainly have attended the service for Brenda. Over the years I have thought about the times Brenda and I spent together as schoolgirls. I did not know where she had settled, but would have liked to have kept in touch with her.
My heartfelt condolences to the family. May God bless and keep you in his thoughts. Libby
