    My heartfelt condolences to the family. Brenda and I were classmates in Newport News High School and graduated in 1964. She was a very nice and thoughtful person. I spoke to her several times when visiting the Hallmark store where she worked. I also knew David. What a loss this is.

    I knew both David and Brenda I remember that he was going to take jumping lessons and in preparation of that we jumped off the edge of my roof.
    Brenda was in several of my classes in high school
    They were both really nice people sorry we lost touch over the years and we are all sad for their early departure
