Gary, to you and your family I want you to know that your wife/mother was oneof the finest, most capable nurses I ever had the honor to meet in my life. Most of us would punctuate our sentences with a , or a ! or a. or ? but Brenda would always interject that wonderful little laugh somewhere along the line and I don't think I ever saw her without a twinkle in her eye. I am so sorry for this time you all have to overcome. God Bless all. - Posted by: Rick Dolenuck (Hospital CoWorker) on: Jun 28, 2025

My sincere Condolences to my old high school instructor Gary, on your wife Brenda’s passing. Remember her from the days the two of you would come down to my parents greenhouse operation to get your summer bedding plants. Fond memories of your teaching days and your “White Lightning”! Best wishes to you and your family in this difficult time. - Posted by: Albert Bakker (Old student of Gary’s) on: Jun 28, 2025
