I went onto FaceBook this morning and was reminded that today was Brenda Bailey's (cS: november25) birthday. When I went on to her page to wish her a happy day, I was saddened to read this note posted by her son on August 30th: I am sorry to say that my mother, Brenda, has sadly passed away on the 29th of August, if you would like to leave any messages of condolence please do so. Thank you. It took the wind out of my sails to say the least. Brenda was a dear woman and a passionate follower of our space program. I had met her a number of times at Kennedy Space Center when she came for launches or Astronaut Scholarship Foundation events.My condolences to her husband Ted and her son Scott as well as her other family and friends on the Isle of Man. Dear lady at last you know what it's like to fly in space. Rest in peace. |

I had the pleasure to meet Brenda and correspond with her over the years. I am shocked and saddened. She had a great passion for our love of space exploration. |

It's rather strange, as I was looking through some old collectSPACE posts just last weekend seeking some information and I came across one written by Brenda. It occurred to me then that she hadn't posted anything in quite some time for someone so passionate about space history and her astronaut heroes. Very sad to hear this, and my condolences to her family and friends. |

Brenda was a very nice lady. She helped me to get my visit to KSC in 2008 organised. She provided me with lots of information that could be helpful to me. I will miss her letters and e-mail in which she talked about space and her love for her family. I will miss Brenda. My condolences to Ted and the rest of the family. . |

Yes, I sure do remember Brenda and her husband Ted during many visits to the Florida Space Coast, including a couple of visits with them in my home-office here. I am so sorry to hear of her passing and let me also extend my sincere condolences to Ted, Scott, and to other family members and close friends. Indeed, Brenda had a strong interest, passion and enthusiasm toward space exploration and she will be missed here. |

She sent me paragraphs of tips back in October of 2008 after she read on cS that I'd be going to KSC for the first time for the ASF event. I met her at the cS-member get-together in the Rocket Garden, and found her to be just as enthusiastic and kind in person. |

This has deeply saddened me. Although Brenda lived only about 60-70 miles away on the Isle of Man, I last met her at Kennedy Space Center in June, 2007 at the astronaut dinner in the Saturn V Center the day after the launch of STS-117. Under the mighty Saturn V, surrounded by fellow space enthusiasts and astronauts from every mission to fly in an Apollo spacecraft, Brenda was in her element. My sincere condolences to Ted and family. |
