Brenda Holst Obituary

I just found out recently about Brenda. I couldn't believe it. Just remembering her kindness and her striking smile in the halls all the time. You're in my prayers.

Today, Nov. 24th, I received the devasting news of Brenda's passing. I still can't believe it! Brenda was an amazing girl who gave everybody a chance and never turned her back away. I remember after high school I took a summer school class at Harper and the first face I saw was Brenda's! I was so happy and relieved that I actually new someone and that I wouldn't have to go through this scary speech class alone. Everyday she would put a smile on my face, and everytime I gave a speech I would mess up and everytime she would tell me it's okay don't worry, you'll do better next time. And a simple statement like that would make me feel better! I just can't believe that she was taken from us so soon. I will always remember Brenda and always be thankful and grateful that I knew her. Melody you're in my prayers! Thank you for raising an amazing girl that effected so many people's lives!

Melody,

I am so sorry for your loss. I still can't believe Brenda is gone. I was looking at pictures of her and I together at senior prom, and of course I started to cry. But it also made me remember the good times we had together and what a wonderful person she was. I will never forget her or her kindness. My prayers are with you all.

Melody,

Brenda was one of the most wonderful friends I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her smile and her genuinely positive personality will stay with me forever. I feel privileged that I was able to call her a good friend of mine. I will miss her more than words can describe and I wish her family and friends peace of mind, in knowing she lived her life to the fullest, in the 21 years she was with us. My thoughts and prayers are with Brenda, her family, and her friends, at this extremely difficult time.

Words can not express the deep sadness I feel and for the family. She will be missed and my prayers will be with you.

Words cannot express the heartbreak we all feel that this young lady, so full of hopes and dreams, has been taken from us. May God wrap his arms around you and give you strength during this most tragic time.

Even though we have only talked a handful of times I was shocked when I had heard of your daughter. I will pray that you have the strength to overcome such losses in your life and though we don't understand why these things happen we know that through time, family, and friends we can try to get by.. Fondly, Karen

Mel and family,
