I was very lucky to work with Brenda at the start of my own career, and stay friends long after we both left. Brenda was cheerful, always colorfully dressed, with earrings, bracelets and lipsticks that perfectly matched the bright clothes. It was something I tried to copy for the first couple of weeks at my new job but I couldn’t keep it up. Eventually when I told her what I was doing she laughed. Brenda was smart (I can still remember the work she did coding graphics functions). Mostly, she was fun to work with, and had a great sense of humor. Outside of work I learned that her colorful personality extended to her ‘landscaping’, with cute lawn ornaments, wind chimes and bright whirligigs all over the deck - it very much suited her. I was really lucky to know Brenda and will miss her.
