Brenda Brands August 18, 2011
While we morn the loss of a dear sister in Jesus Christ, there is great rejoicing, singing, and unrestrained joy in heaven upon Brenda's victory. May God be near to you, Jack, your daughters, and family, giving you the grace for each day. It is hard to
understand why one so young has leave us with what we may think they had so much more to do. All we can do is "be still" and know that He is God, and nothing He does will ever be as evil towards us. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians1:3-4
David Kamps
Our thoughts and prayers are with both the Brands and the Moore families at the passing of Brenda. These are difficult times but your faith thru this has awakened many souls so perhaps that, in itself, was one of Brenda's most precious accomplishments
in this world. Hold your memories of Brenda close to your hearts and rest in the assurance that Brenda will be reunited one day with each one of you. Take care and God Bless!

Jack, Kirsten, Larissa, Caitlin and Family: Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. We may not understand why, but we know that Gods plan is perfect. Brenda has won the victory over death and is now with her Lord and Savior in perfectness,
no more pain, no more suffering. Although we have pain and sadness at her passing, we have the comfort of our Lord Jesus Christ and his salvation for us. May God be near unto you and provide you the strength and grace needed in the time ahead. Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
