Sherlock here.

It is with great sadness that I post this. Brenda was a wonderful woman. She ran the post office extremely well. She knew everyone that worked with her. She was an amazing woman in our lives. Students, Faculty, Staff, and alumni that visit her often have been touched by this gentle woman.

Please join me in prayer for her family and in the coming days of the funeral services. We will all be thinking of everyone in Gallaudet community as we mourn Brenda's passing.

Brenda, love you with every thing you have done and said. The loss is hard to take. Lots of memories of the conversations we had. May God grant you entry into his kingdom.

Semper FI.
