My name is Brandy, For some odd reason she popped in my head today.. I do not know why?? Other than God puts people in our hearts and minds to pray! I had no idea Brenda passed away till today. She was a great friend of my mom Linnea for years. I have known John since we were kids. I surely have missed her and him! I was once told by John that he named Brandi after me .. years ago! I truly miss her and him! If you guys know how I can contact him or if you guys want to, that would be awesome! I am truly sorry you guys lost such a great woman. She was a strong and independent woman just like my mom! 
Condolences Brandy

Brenda was my step mother but never treated me as anything but her own. I have so many good memories of her going all the way back to my teenage years. Memories of her, Missy and Johnathan when we were all younger.  She and I always kept in touch and had a very special relationship. She will be missed by all that knew her and loved her. 


If you knew my Nannu, you knew she was a talker. Ill never forget the times she would call me and want to talk for hours. I never thought the day would come when I would Regret every phone call i was eager to get off of. Thats the thing ive missed the most.
And her Fried Chicken. Nannu was the best cook. Every year for Family Holiday Gatherings, she would fry chicken for our entire family (50+). Nannus Tacos were the best also. 
Leading up to the last 5 years of Nannus life, i made it my goal to perfect nannus chicken recipe, so that i too; could pass on the legacy throughout our family. 
I never got to Perfect Nannus Chicken.  No matter how many times i tried it just wasnt the same.I now know that my issue was this: im not Brenda. Nannu poured so much of her love and care into everything that she touched. 
Nannu always told us that she would always be with us in our hearts. 
Since her passing things have been pretty rough. Nannu was more like a mother to Brandi and I then a Grandmother. 
From now on, when i attempt to fry nannus chicken, i know she will be there with me in my heart, to pour all the love and care into the chicken that i make, as she did her own. 
Im thankful for the last 5 years i got to spend with nannu. As you all know, the last 5 years were pretty rough for her, after breaking her leg and wrist.
But in those last 5 years, nannu got to meet her first born great grand baby Presley Belle. We were able to have 3 generations together under one roof. I cannot explain the joy in her eyes when she was able to sit with her son and see him be a grandpa for the first time. We took lots of trips to stay with her for the weekend. Im thankful for the life she lived, and mostly thankful for the influence she made in my life. She taught me to laugh through the hard times and smile even when it seems impossible. She taught me to Dance, when a keith whitley song, or George straight song came on.
  I will always carry her love with me.

My nannu taught me so many things growing up, one of the many lessons of life I will take with me is holding my faith with god, and standing strong in my religion and beliefs. She was the type of woman who would give u the shirt off her back, And would drop whatever she was doing and give her full, undivided attention. She always made sure to express her love to all her grandchildren, I thank god every day for the wonderful memory’s and special moments we all got to share with her, I only hope we all can celebrate the life Nannu lived, remembering the good times we all shared. Nannu made a difference in so many life’s,  I am thankful to have been blessed with a grandmother as great as her. I will forever cary her wise words of wisdom in my heart. 

Those left to cherish Brenda’s memory are her loving children: Melissa Lively and Johnathan Day. Grandchildren: Laura Gentolizo, Amber Gentolizo Caldwell, husband Erickson, Brittany Day, Brandi Day, Brennon Day, and Hayleigh Day. Siblings: Rebecca “Becky” Parker, husband James, Nina Ray Flores, husband David, Beverly Breshers, husband Donald, and David “Jocko” Hanson. Nieces and Nephews: Benjamin Parker, wife Bonnie, Jan Doyle, Rachel Marye, husband Robert, Jennifer Dean, and husband Larry. One Great-Granddaughter Presley and a host of great nieces, nephews and extended family.
