I am so deeply sorry to hear of Brenda’s passing. She was such an inspirational, cheerful, positive person. Brenda often visited the Chuck Stop Restaurant, which is where I met her when I managed it back in the day. Chip, my absolute prayers go out to you. What a wonderful couple you two were. You were both so lucky to find and keep each other in this life.
Love and prayers
Chip,Golda,Brent, both Normans and all the family my heart breaks for you. Brenda was such a beautiful soul .She was encouragement and hope for my Shelly and myself as Shelly went through her same tyoe breast cancer...I had talked to her not quite 2 weeks prior to Tuesday. I treasured our phone calls.We talked a long time and she told me about her change in plans about moving back to PA. All last weekend I couldn't get her off my mind. I was going to call her. With health issues down here with my family. I totally forgot. I am so upset about that.My comfort which I'm sure is yours also is that she was ready to go home with the Lord and our family. she told me several times on the phone. Her and my Shelly can actually speak face to face now and both be painfree. Know that I love my cousin with all my heart.i pray our Lord will surround you all with His peace and presence. I love you guys.
RIP sis I Love You! Poppy

Chip, Brent and all of Brenda’s immediate family, I’m so sorry for the grief and sorrow you are going through. I’m praying that God gives you the strength and comfort you need at this time. Brenda always had a smile, kind words for everyone. I remember when we were little and our extended families got together, cracking jokes and running around together. In recent years we kept in touch through texts, Facebook and phone calls. Brenda is reunited now with her loved ones in Heaven, what a reunion that must be. Try to take comfort in knowing you’ll see her again, when God deems it. Love you all and my heart hurts for you.
Always a friendly smile.
Mrs Albright will be missed! I am a Mail Carrier, and she lives on the main route I work. Whenever she would have a package, she would always greet me with a friendly smile and quick conversation. She always made sure I had plenty of water. No matter what she was battling on the inside, she never showed it on the outside. Thank you for all the friendly chats. Thoughts and prayers to Mr. Albright and your whole family.
