Still miss you every day! Love you ❤️

It has been a year since  you got your angel wings.  Not a day goes by without a tear, a smile, and a great memory of you.  Thank you for all the wonderful blessings you brought to my life.

Our dear sweet sister Benda,  we always had wonderful times together.  Growing up and taking family trips, our family gatherings, watching our boys grow into wonderful men.  Our trips to Bay St Louis and our cruises with Dad were always such fun.  Thank you for being such a great sister and a great mom.  You gave me such a fine example to live my life by.  I will miss you but I know we will be together again one day.  Love you always, Jennifer 

Working in a school you come in contact with many different people, some stand out from the moment you meet them. Brenda was one of those standouts! She was a real life example of loving kindness. There was no child or no task that she wouldn’t take on with a smile, you could always count on her . Then there were those little kind notes that would appear on your desk to give you words of encouragement or a donation to the school for whatever I thought was needed. But it didn’t stop there, even after retiring, Brenda and George would show up with goodies for the whole staff. Random acts of kindness were Brenda’s specialty. My heart goes out to George and their sons and their families, she loved you all deeply . Her face lit up when she talked of you. Please know she has made a lifelong impact on my heart!
Blessings,

Over 20 years ago I was welcomed into the Nelson family, at a time when I really needed their friendship.  During this time, I have been privileged to spend time with them  ... dinner gatherings,  Sunday get togethers, a holiday or two, a family cruise and more.   Each and everyone of them including the in-laws and children always made me feel welcomed and like another family member.  It always amazed me how these four sisters always got along so well and were so loving and kind to each other and everyone.  It was proof of their remarkable parents and of their faith. Through Susan, I met Brenda, George and the boys. Brenda was always kind and welcoming to me, always taking an interest in what was going on in my life.  Little acts of kindness have big impacts on others! Brenda was an amazing woman, daughter, wife, sister and mother.  A truly delightful person to be near, a beautiful angel now! My heart aches for George, the boys, Bob, her sisters and the entire family as Brenda is such an important member of this incredible family. I send my love and know all of you are in my thoughts and prayers! May God grant you strength at this challenging time. Much love to all!

There are so many fond memories of my Aunt Brenda, from attending my grade school christmas program; to this day I still have the inspiring gift my sweet Aunt & Uncle brought to me that night! Then during our teen years when her wisdom, advice, love and encouragement were so needed and so timely for me and my Brother. I will never forget Her encouraging words from her, a mommy, to me, a new mommy, (she was an amazing mom!), when my children were born just a few years after Matt & Nick her words of advice were of course amazing. Brenda & George always welcomed my family with open arms and an open heart. Brenda always knew just what I needed to hear, her Faith was strong and it is evident how the Lord used her to touch so many! Her love, care and concern for her family and friends was covered in prayer. I am thankful for those prayers! Brenda will be greatly missed on this earth but I know she is with her Lord and Savior now, free of any pains of this world! Praise the Holy Name of Jesus! I love you Aunt Brenda! ❤



Aunt Brenda was a gorgeous woman and soul. She was always smiling and always super kind. It is really hard to pinpoint a favorite memory with her when all of them are good ones.  I remember always standing in the kitchen at Papa's at family get-togethers and talking about how school was going for me and about how it was going for her too. I will definitely miss catching up with her every time the family gets together. We all miss hearing her laugh when one of us says something funny, seeing her smile when we come and say "Hi" to her, and miss her singing to a Bruno Mars song. I am glad that she is no longer feeling the pain that this world was causing her, she is free of all of it. Knowing that she is up there looking down on us making sure that we are doing good and spending time with Nana makes me beyond grateful. She is now one of the many angels watching over us and we will all meet again when it is our time. I love you, Aunt Brenda!! I will miss you so much!!

Brenda was a very kind and caring person. I will always remember the times I spent with her and her family as she always made me feel like family. She will be truly missed.

My beautiful sister and lifelong friend.  I am so grateful for the thousands of memories you gave me - I cherish them all big and small.  The way you showed love, concern, fun, and compassion to people was amazing.  I will always remember you with joy and love.
My life shines brighter because you generously shared it with me.
Forever and ever, Amen.

Brenda was an amazing sister.
She was smart, strong so much stronger than I ever could be & full of life!
She devoted her life to her family & she was so very proud of Matt & Nick & all they have become & I will credit the beautiful, strong women in their lives for that too. We all know that behind every strong woman is an even stronger man. Yes, George that is you. You were there through it all. You were her rock too.
We love all of you guys so much. 
Until we meet again my sister...until we meet again. ❤️💕❤️

I wish the Lawson family comfort and peace in this most stressful time. Remember her fondly and she is never really gone...
