    I got to know Brenda as George and I worked through our UNO Engineering degrees. It was a pleasure seeing Brenda’s support and partnership to George, and their wonderful relationship. It has been even more fun to watch their family grow with kids and grandkids. Please accept my heartfelt thoughts and condolences to George and the entire family for the loss of Brenda.
