Condolence: Julie and family - extending our families condolences to you and your family! It was announced in church this AM (Trinity Lutheran Church in South Milwaukee, WI). We all have so many fond memories of ALL of you during your stay with us many years ago & we all felt blessed by his presence for the few short years that we were blessed to have all of you there. May God bless his memory and may our Lord give you all comfort and peace. He will not be forgotten by our family!

Condolence: Iam so sorry for your loss. I remember Pastor Brende well.He was so patient with young people, most especially my daughter, Karen.
God bless your family.

Condolence: To the Brende family,
Rolf was a very special person to Allen Hospital. I worked in the mental health unit, and I often sat in his chapel time after helping to bring patients to his group. He was gifted in helping patients connect with God as they went through difficult times. He was so respectful of others & honored them with his listening, non-judgmental presence. He had a heart for people and a love for God that ministered not only to patients and families, but also staff and leadership. He impacted many people for good. Just as he helped many patients with their last act of faith as they faced death, I imagine he valued his family being bedside helping and loving him with his last act of faith. May God comfort you and ease your sadness with many treasured memories.

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. Lisa and Heidi, I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Condolence: Dear Brende family,
So sorry for the loss of your dear family member, my cousin. I have many fond memories of him both growing up and as an adult.

May you find peace in your family sharing and memories of a wonderful man.

Condolence: I have many wonderful memories of the Brende family when you lived in Janesville. Heide was a toddler, then came Peter, followed by Lisa. I babysat with all of you. Julie, we "created" so many amazing objects in your kitchen and during the weaving class in Waterloo. May the memories you have of your loving husband, father, and grandfather keep him close to your heart. Mom (Roberta Rockwood) sends her love also. Love to all..Julie B.

Condolence: Dear Brende Family, I am so sorry for your loss. When we lose a love one in death it is never easy. During this difficult time may your family find comfort in Gods word the Bible that soon we will see our love ones again. -John 5:28,29
