We have prayed daily as Brenda taught us. Initially our prayer was for God to heal her (which he did, but not in the way so many hoped). Now our prayer is for that hedge of protection for the family and that God holds you all in his arms during your time of sorrow and loss.

I didn't have the opportunity to meet Brenda in person, but listened to her often on KHRT on Sundays at noon. She was so inspiring. I loved listening to her sermons, the stories, and always a song she would sing at the end. She often told funny stories, or made a joke, then would laugh at her own funny, I always laughed with her, she was so precious. I will miss listening to her on KHRT. I wish I would have gotten the chance to meet her, but in heaven I will. I am sorry for your loss. God bless you.

Barry and I are sending you our deepest sympathy and our thoughts are with all that knew and loved Brenda.
Brenda was a 'one of a kind' person.. with a ready smile and a contagious laugh, which will be missed alot.
She loved her LORD and life itself, and now she is 'home' safe, happy and pain free in the arms of 'her Lord'.
We the ones left behind have the heart deep in our hearts and tears ready to flow, but we have to remember her as she would want to be remembered.. With a smile and a laugh and to love everyone.
Imagine the wonderful reunion she is having with all the loved ones that have gone before her, and the awesome reunion we will have with her when it is our time.
Look into your hearts, she is there, always has been and always will be.
RIP Brenda

To the Burns family. Brenda was one of a kind. I have fond memories of her back in Northwest Bible College days. Brenda, Vicky Miller, Wendy Daniels, Kevin Fred and myself used to chum around together. She used to make jokes about her "beauty' and then laugh! Funny thing is that she was a very beautiful person inside and out. She has touched many people over the years and her life was well spent. You did great Brenda. Through Jesus Christ will see you someday soon. :-].

My Deepest and Sincere Sympathy to The Burns Family What a true inspiration Pastor Brenda was for me as well as her Mom & Dad Her sister JoAnn Mitch and Jonathan she loved you so very much as well as her companion Balzer.We belonged to a prayer group at Little Flower Church a few year ago along with Sister Genevieve and others that I wont mention here but at that time I was so inspired at how she loved her Lord Our Lord! I was in awe at how she loved the bible. Through Storms of trials and tribulation she was there as a faithful friend, she would listen and suggest but she would never judge! She Loved with her whole Heart and Soul. She was Compassionate, Honest, and the most Giving to all....She was a Saint to me as she loved everyone for who they were, always had time for the young, middle aged and the elderly. Please Shirley Duane JoAnn, Mitch, Jonathan, and Balzer I know you are hurting , I am hurting all her family and friends are hurting but we just need to look up, she will be watching and comforting us from above! We have our own special Angel !!
Love and Prayers to you all Nancy Schneibel

Linda and I are saddened by Brenda's death, yet comforted by knowing enough about her to share her faith in everlasting joy.

Our deepest sympathy,love and prayers to Brenda's family. We were blessed to have her as our little Angel Pastor for the past 15 years. What a blessing! She was of "the old school" as well as the modern age. She treated each Parishioner as if they were the only one. I personally credit her with bringing my son "J.P." to walk with the Lord for the past 13 years before he passed away. And I am sure many others can say the same, she touched many lives. She prayed for her family every week and was so proud of her nephew,Johnathon.
We will miss her very much, but have the comfort of knowing that there was nobody more ready to meet the Lord.
May God Bless and guide her family thru this time and forward.
Love and Prayers, Pat Robbins, Knox Community Church

Brenda will be greatly missed by my husband, my children and myself. She was such a special part of my dad, Balzer's life and through their friendship she became a special part of our lives as well. Her kindness, her laughter and her smile were one of a kind. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
Troy, Julie, Elsie and Cooper Reiten

My deepest sympathy to Brenda's family. Brenda was a bright spirit and her presence will be missed. May God hold all of you close and surround you with love and support during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Brenda's family. Brenda presided over my Mother's, Ethel Church Bauer, memorial services in June 2013 at the Pleasant Valley Church of the Brethren. She wrote and recited the most beautiful poem about my mother's life as an educator that touched us all so very deeply. Thank you Brenda.

Dear Family:
My prayers and thoughts are with and for all of you. Brenda was a friend of mine at Northwest Bible College. I will always remember her contagious smile and funny laugh. Have not heard from her since college days. So glad that she persued her passion in life in ministering to people.
