It was Brenda's wish for no visitation or services.  A private family celebration of life will be held in the Smokey Mountains at a later date.

The family would like to say a special thank you to the staff of Charter Assisted Living of Hermitage Tennessee and Gentiva Hospice of Nashville Tennessee for their exceptional care.  The family requests that any memorials may be made to either of these two organizations directly.
