Brenda -- so sorry to hear of your passing. In the cases we worked on together, or across the aisle, you were always articulate, professional and wise.

I knew Brenda before she was a lawyer; in fact before either of us were much of anything.  I cared deeply for her and remember her fondly.  I am so sorry to hear of her passing.

I am very sorry to hear of Brenda's passing she was a very nice woman, intelligent, and a damn good lawyer who represented the profession well.

I was very sorry to hear of Brenda's passing. I frequently found myself opposing her in litigation matters and always found her to be very respectful, courteous and professional.  

Rest in peace Brenda.

Brenda was a fine lady, who represented the best in decent, responsible,
and professional legal representation.  I liked her and respected her.  In the
approx. eight years that I worked with her, she never once lost her temper
or her professionalism and treated legal opponents, tenants, landlords,
and clients with respect and dignity. She was able to be both feminine and
strong at the same time, never an easy thing to do.

Brenda, you will always be remembered as one with a big heart and who cared for all that came into contact with you.  You will always be well respected in the legal community and among your friends and community.  

May your soul rest in peace.

It is with profound sadness that I wish you farewell my friend.  You will be missed.

She was always a respectful and civil person, in what is too often a very uncivil legal environment. Brenda will be missed by her friends and colleagues.  My sympathies to her family and loved ones.

Farewell to a fierce and honest opponent. The San Francisco bar is poorer for your loss.

Deepest sympathy. You left us too soon hope sue has greeted you you and Joe were so wonderful to sarah.  And to me;  I hope there are Harley's in heaven love always sandy kron

A loss to the legal community and to her friends and family. A very kind and classy person who will be missed by all who knew her.

You were a class act.  I always admired you - both as your opposing counsel and as a Mediator you used to ressolve cases over the last several years.  You'll always be remembered for your dignity.  -Bob Sheppard, San Francisco Mediator/lawyer

Brenda,
I hope you are riding your Harley in heaven....

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
