My condolences to all the Lillo family. Brenda was such a hoot. She talked faster than anyone, I think she always had a lot to say. I worked with her at Buurma's and made everyone laugh everyday. If you ever rode with her in a car you knew she had a lead foot. Anytime that I would see her she still had a smile on her face. I hope you all keep those memories of her close to your hearts. God Bless!
