Brenda was a dear, sweet young girl when I knew her in high school. She was smart, and pretty, and ALWAYS kind……
I believe she led a good and productive life, and loved and was loved by her family.
Peace to a friend and one-time neighbor….long, long ago……
I knew Brenda in high school..we graduated in class of 1969. We became best “buds” in the first year of nursing school at UAMS. We made contact a couple of times after that. I am glad to know she went on to have a family and what sounds like a full life. Brenda was a very kind and giving woman. I am sorry you do not have her with you. I hope you will be comforted by the memories you had with her. A sweet woman is gone. I am grateful to have known her.
Brenda and her family were true Fayetteville citizens and she and her husband Chuck raised some great kids. Rest well, Mrs. Bushong. Heaven definitely gained a star!
