Thinking of you. ❤️

I miss you so much mommy. Not a single day goes by that I don't think about you. I miss your smile and your funny jokes. I miss cooking for you and telling you about my day. I miss taking naps in your bed. I miss us watching Perry Mason together. I miss us going to the Goodwill and staying for hours. There are no words to express how much I love you. I will never forget your smile.

So sorry to learn of Brenda's passing. I am retired from Chicago State University and had the honor to work with Brenda and Joe in two theater productions. The photographs of her are so wonderful and I can hear her voice while I study them. At the time, two youngsters, married with 6 children, working, going to school, holding things together AND taking the time to do some theater, Joe an Brenda were inspirations to the rest of the students....and even to us the faculty. I was very fond of them. I wish all in the family the very best, a good and healthy life. May warm memories help heal your loss. Your Mom and Dad were special. Dr. Sherwood Snyder

When

When you came, it was as soft as
a mist,
a vapor,
a fog.

When you were there,
consistent,
reliable,
concerned,
comforting,
familiar.

When you were there,
an ear,
a heart.

When you spoke, it was
beauty,
gentleness, and
forgiving.

Your shoulders were broad, your back strong and your countenance hidden by the mask of Faith.

When you made the declaration, affirming it would make it true, so I didn’t. But you knew.

When you knew the time was near, your words were grace and peace.

So when I see
a mist,
a vapor,
a fog
I’ll know….

In loving memory of my dear cousin Brenda Allen. It was such an honor to know such a beautiful person inwardly and outwardly. I will certainly miss our conversations. I'm so grateful to the Lord for allowing our paths to cross on this side of life. You were such a precious jewel. The Lord loaned you to us. Now you're resting with the Lord. May you rest in peace. Love you forever, your cousin - Sharon Gray Pinkney from DeLand, FL.

It is with deep regret that we have lost a most beautiful family member. However, rather than focus on this negative and tragic loss, there are indeed many positives to look at. Not only was Brenda a terrific person, parent, grandparent, and family member, she had an infectious personality that would be a model for society. In addition, I am sure that down here on earth, she managed to accomplish many positive things, both socially, educationally, politically, religiously, economically, and culturally.
May you rest in peace Brenda.

I was three years old when I told my mom I wanted to play the violin. I stood in front of her and my father, holding two pencils to my neck pretending it was a violin. My mom laughed and told my father. " Well, we have to get her a violin." I was seven years old and I remember vividly, my mom taking me to the music store to buy me a violin. She put me in lessons even though financially it wasn't feasible. Mama always made sure she nutured our interest as best she could. She bought me Itzhak Perlman albums to encourage my love for the violin. Thank you Mama for going above and beyond to make me happy. Man am I going to deeply truly miss you. Kiss grandma for me. I love you 💜🌺💜

Mama! I want so bad to hear you say " Hi Ms. Amy!" one more time. To say I'll miss you is an understatement. I am beyond shocked that you're gone, yet eternally grateful for all the great memories and love received from you. You were the definition of a strong woman and mom. I could only hope to inherit your strength and fortitude. Rest well eternally. I love you so much Mama!

Mommyface, words can never express how I love you so very much and how absolutely devastated and sad I am. I will forever miss your laugh, our jokes, your smile, our many conversations where we chat about everything and I could tell you anything and you would never judge me but always listened and showed me love and gave me amazing advice, or even just gave me an ear when I needed someone to share my feelings with. I will miss your sweet voice and your kind heart. You were my best friend and I'm so proud to be your baby girl. I will take you with me everywhere I go for the rest of my life. I love you so much mommyface, rest well beautiful.
