Brenda helped tirelessly in her community and in her family to make sure everyone had what they needed. Brenda and Walters story was one for the ages; she was a dedicated wife and would do anything for her husband. Where you saw one, you saw the other, they would do anything for each other. These two were one in the same, down to the way they dressed.
