I was very sorry to hear of brenda's passing...I had a lot of fun with her in Africa.
Brenda was passionate, funny,
Brenda was passionate, funny, caring & a pleasure to chat with. As a coworker, I was shocked - as we all were- to hear the news of her passing. There were too many more conversations, jokes & laughs to be shared. I keep waiting for her to come around the corner and hear that great laugh. She was embarking on a new chapter of life. Selfishly, I wish it were here with us.
She had too much energy for eternal rest...So, I wish her eternal life.
I will miss you !!!! Jules

To the Hanna and Mowday
To the Hanna and Mowday family, I was so saddened to hear of Brenda's passing. She will always be remembered in my heart as someone who loved to live life and have lots of fun doing so. I will look back fondly on our fun trip to Cape Cod last year to attend the Beach Boys Concert. She was truly a "survivor", in more ways than surviving cancer. She deserves peace.

We meet just over 1 year ago
We meet just over 1 year ago thru a friend at my office. Laughter started almost immediately! In short order I knew we would be friends! Open, positive, friendly, warm, interesting, funny, outgoing. She was a special person! It was an honor and to have know her. After taking care of business, we all spent most of the day together, I enjoyed every minute.....come to think of it, Brenda would not have allowed anything else! I was also fortunate to be invited to a dinner and shared an amazing meal as well as great fellowship. I will miss the opportunity to have gotten to know Brenda even better. More importantly, she loved the Lord and was committed to seeking His will. "Well done good and faithful servant"
We will miss Brenda on our next visit to Pottstown
Dear Brett, Michelle, Alex and Collin,
It was almost a tradition that we met Brenda while visiting you all. She was always very nice to us and presented lots of compliments or advice on how to raise two boys. Luckily she made her dreamtrip to Africa just in time. Very sad though that she passed away so young while have just survived cancer.
We will miss and remember her.
Eric, you have my sincere
Eric, you have my sincere condolences to you and your family during this time of mourning. My own mother passed just a year and a half ago, I know it's tough. May the Lord bless you. May He cause His face to shine upon, and give you peace.

Stunned to read of her passing
My sincere condolances to all in Brenda's family.
Deepest sympathies
Brett, Michelle, Eric, Denise and boys:
You all need to know how very special Brenda was in so many lives, including those of the entire Zimet family. Her professional accomplishments were impressive, but more than that, Brenda was a wonderful person. Happy summertime hours together on the lake are part of our own girls' childhood memories. After we moved to Virginia, Brenda checked in on Dan's dear mother. Brenda had room in her big heart, and made time for, so many people. Remember all the sweet times. You are all in our thoughts, prayers and hearts. -- Dan and Laurel

Our prayers and loving thoughts go out to you all! We have known and loved the entire Mowday Family for many years as we have worshipped together at Cornerstone Fellowship Church.
We will continue to pray and support you!
Remember Romans 8:28 & Psalm 23.

Blessings received from Brenda Hanna
Dear Brett and Eric,
The outpour of so many people paying respect to your mother was just a small indication of the blessings that Brenda bestowed to everyone.
Her kindness and love is going to be greatly missed.She was wonderful to every one, always giving, always kind and definitely wonderful to me and my family. She was my mother's second daughter and I cannot express the pain in my heart that she is not with us anymore.
Brenda was always telling me about the enormous joys that she was receiving being your mother and grandmother to your sons. She loved Michelle and thought of her as a daughter, always grateful for including and sharing lots of happy times and creating wonderful memories for those four little boys.They were precious to her and so were you boys...I can still remember you both at the ages of your sons and how much your Mother loved you and how proud she was being your Mom.
Your mother was spiritual and lived her life for Christ.
She survived very difficult things but never once lost her faith. Brenda was beautiful inside and out. She was very deserving of all the love that was pouring out to comfort you last week and many of those mourners were surprised of her passing and very grateful for the time they had with her.
There will not be a day when I do not think about her, remember her smile or smell her White Diamond perfume breezing into my prayers.
We have to be comforted knowing that God needed her and called her home, but my heart is still broken and words cannot express the loss that I am feeling.
I truly loved that Brenda was determined to enjoy life, that she traveled to far away places and never lost the sight of Jesus Christ. She truly loved life and dealt with all of the problems in the world with confidence and grace. She was such a besutiful and giving person.
Please be encouraged by her love and devotion to her children, family and friends.
You were blessed to have had such a wonderful mother and she was a leader in the community who helped many people with her nursing skills, unconditional love and ability to always find forgiveness, as Christ forgave us.
God Bless You, Brenda and thanks for being my closest friend and an aunt to my children. I will always miss you and love you,
HELEN MANSOR HOPKINSON AND CHILDREN
