May God comfort each of you. I am sorry to hear of your loss.
Kerry, Bob and family,
My condolences to you and your family on the passing of your mother. It is never easy to lose a parent, no matter your age. I pray for your peace and comfort as you continue your life journey without your mother's earthly presence.

Bob, Kerry, the rest of the Brendel family and close friends,
Your mother was always very gracious to me whenever I was fortunate to be in the area and could stop by for a visit. I have fond memories of cruising down the Potomac with her and your Dad when they lived in Arlington, VA many years ago and visiting them in Lovettsville. I can really appreciate your mother’s community service of coordinating fire, rescue, and EMT services as I was once a volunteer firefighter many years ago, and during my Air Force career served as the base Fire Marshal and On-Scene Commander. She was a very special person. May the happy memories of her life bring you a measure of comfort and peace. I am honored to make a donation in your mother’s name to the Lovettsville Volunteer Fire and Rescue.

The last time our DOS convention was in NJ i was asked to drop off a few things for her on my way home as they knew i drove up there from Midlothian. We had a nice afternoon going down memory lane and had a nice lunch together. She will be miss. To her family.... grief is not a weakness nor a lack of faith, but the price of love.

I remember Chief Brendel as a dedicated and insightful contributor to the Fire and Rescue System. Although our paths crossed late in her service to the system, she made an impression on me and on the work I have done. She will be missed and all her friends, colleagues, and family are in my prayers.

Dear Brendel Family. My name is Earl Harris and I had the pleasure of meeting and working with your mother at Lovettsvile Volunteer Fire and Rescue station 12. We were on Bingo crew 2 together. Your mom was always so nice to me and my son when we joined. She would always ask about my two boys and jokingly tell me I was to hard on my 16 year old. She was a great person to listen to and gain advice from about all sorts of things. I will greatly miss her on Bingo Crew 2.
With great sadness
Earl Harris
