Where to even start, Brenda Karina Malott & I met at pike Highs school on my freshman year, i can still remember what she was wearing, blue jeans and a red zip up sweater. At that moment I had no idea the impact this woman would have in my life. We dated all high school and got married right after, it was rare to see one of us without seeing the other lol. We had our beautiful daughter Janelly Karina Malott at 20 years old. At 28 we had our second child Joniel Amir Malott. If you got chance to meet Brenda you know she was the type of person to offer a complete stranger her meal, last dime and time, Like every couple we had our issues but no matter how bad the fight was we couldn’t go 10 minutes mad at one another, I can truly say we had a unique relationship that no one understood but us . About 2 years ago Brenda and I decided it was best to go our separate ways but that did not affect our relationship whatsoever we still got along in a way no one understood. Brenda was still part of my daily life whenever I would have a bad day she was my first phone call because she always had the right words to make me feel better no matter the situation, I am truly heartbroken their is a big part of me missing at times I feel like I don’t want to be here either if she isn’t here but I know I have to be strong for our kids. I want to thank you for so many wonderful years, because of u I now have a sister a brother a second mom and dad . I love you and I miss you. I truly hope that what is said is true and we will see each other once again. R.I.P mi niña

The first time I saw Brenda, she was seven, and I was eight. It was the summer of 95'. She was wearing a jean skirt, a jean jacket and had short brown bobbed hair. I remember waving hi to her and her waving back. I gave her my name and she gave me hers. We played all day and it was the first of many memories we would share. We got along and we argued. We agreed on many things and not so much on others. She was day, and I was night. We went to the same schools, shared many adventures, had many sleep overs. We were pregnant together, got our first phone together, we laughed ,cried and prayed together. Our hearts were broken and together we helped mend them. Our moms are friends, our husbands are best friends and now are daughters are like sisters. Her passing hit me hard because although we didn't see each other everyday, she always meant a lot to me, and I never got to tell her how much. She's in a better place right now, and I know that someday I will get to see her again and tell her what I never got the chance to.

Brenda was such a wonderful and kind woman. She was full of so much life and joy, and we are thankful to have known her even for a short time.
