I’m just Seeing this About Mrs Brenda!! I worked for her many years ago. And she was such a sweet lady and a workaholic. I was one of her assistants way back when and just was remincing about the times we shared together. Always remember sweet Mrs Brenda!

I hope I'm not repeating myself I shared a long post but I don't think it posted. My condolences to your family and friends. I'm sure Brenda will surely be missed. I meant Brenda on the bus going to franchise school. I was a year younger than her. She was so nice and friendly to me and I remember thinking how beautiful I thought she was when I met her. She was always so kind and friendly to me and she was so talented in different areas. I moved to Houston a few years ago after I had come back to Beaumont I ran into her at Wendy's. After we hugged we talked a minute or two but it was as if Time had stood still. My heart is very saddened to hear that she has passed. I will see you again in heaven my friend. Rest in peace your friend Sandy Morgan Parsons class of 69
