Kim, Krissy, Travis and families:
“B” touched so many lives in her years in church and the in childcare outside of church. She is still often thought of and mentioned with nothing but the utmost love and respect. Even when she was going through a painful time, she loved babies, their families and Jesus with her whole heart.
It’s not “goodbye,” just “see ya later.”
Praying for you.
Love, Randy & Rachel Wages,
Daniel(Bree) and Hannah (Bryce)

Dear family, Mrs. Brenda was a precious soul that served the Lord for years by caring for and loving our “wee ones” at Second Baptist . Our prayer is that the Lord will give you His grace and peace during this season of grief. “In sure and certain hope of the resurrection.”

Praying for all that loved Brenda today as I read this with tears in my eyes. She loved my four kids at our church and in our home so well. And they loved Mrs. Brenda so much. I remember her talking about how much she trusted God, especially on hard days. We’ll see you again, Brenda.

Brenda helped raise a lot of Babies at Second Baptist Church, as she served faithfully in the nursery. How she loved my Grandchildren, Brooks, Jacey, MaryKate, and Mallory, and how they love her. What a Happy Day she must be having! Love to her family.

Kim, Krissy and Troy, I am so sorry for your loss, Brenda was a sweet soul. I have known her every since I move to Helena in 1965. We went to school together and she was babysitter for two of my grands. We were a extended family. I know her family will miss her too. Brenda was a second mother to Lori. I will miss her. Sending Love and Prayers to all her family and extended family.
Hugs and prayers Shirley.

Kim Krissy and Troy,
I was blessed to have known your Mother as she had such a sweet spirit and kind soul. Her family, my family and others were all part of a very large extended family that has lost many cherished friends over the years, but we will all remain family regardless of time or distance. My heart prayers and condolences especially to KIm, Krissy and Troy as each of you were also my children in our extended family. May God watch over and comfort you during the coming days. Always remember the good things you shared with your Mother and her loving spirit shall be with you forever.
