Brenda was a wonderful mother who loved working in her garden, watching soap operas, taking walks in the orchards and ever since moving up here from Florida, hated the snow.

Brenda leaves behind to cherish her memory, her four children: Phillip (Valerie) Lawson of Bradenton, Fla., Roberto (Meaghan Knight) Espinoza Jr. of Benton Harbor, Cristal (Elex Martinez) Espinoza of Dowagiac, and Victor (Vanessa) Espinoza of Coloma; six grandchildren: two great-grandchildren; the love of her life, Roberto Espinoza Sr., of Benton Harbor; a brother, Buddy Hall of Bangor; her dogs Topanga and Priscilla, who she loved dearly, and numerous other family members and friends.

Her parents precede her in passing, along with a sister, Margaret Bridges.
