Dear Chantal & hubby, Jason, Ms. Florence, Rita & Nola, siblings & your families, and to all who loved  Sweet Brenda.
I offer you my sad and heartfelt condolences.  I just found out about my friend’ passing 30, July. I met Brenda many years ago when she traveled with my brother to Ohio to meet the family. Our family fell in love with Brenda. We have been friends every since. We communicated regularly via Facebook messenger sharing so many conversations and a plethora of pics of our precious granddaughters (Rita, Nola, and my Nia). Oh how she loved Rita & Nola for sure; she had a wonderful envious relationship with her girlies! May Rita and Nola remember how very much their grandmother dearly loved them and keep her memory so very close to their hearts. I was hoping to lay eyes on Brenda again by making my first trip to Montreal of last year but a car accident derailed me. I am so sorry that wasn’t to be. Today I have just read some of our conversations and I am reminded what a wonderful gift she was to me. Through good health and sickness Brenda remained that same kind, thoughtful, caring, concern, and loving friend. We were sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ sharing our hope, faith, questions, and resolve to believe that “ With God all things are possible”. Brenda shared “she may not be healed on earth.” Nonetheless she fought a courageous fight with love in her heart for Jesus and for those she so dearly loved, cared for, and about.  Brenda remained thankful and happy despite her debilitating illness. I am yet amazed at the resiliency she demonstrated and the faith she exuded to take one day at a time. What courage my friend had. I miss Brenda and I wish she was still here to be there for us all! If I can be just a tad bit the friend she was to me to others I ask that of the Lord for myself.  The scripture says, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord”. I still wish Brenda was here living amongst us. However, I am so thankful our paths crossed!

Sending heart felt condolences to my sister in law, Florence, on the passing of your precious daughter, Brenda.  I remember my niece as a sweet kind person with a genuine spirit. I often spent time with  her on her many visits with her grandmother, Ethel White.  May God conform the family through this difficult time. My thoughts are with you all. Love you all. Aunt Rhoda White. Middleton, NS,

ren , the sister of my heart you are loved and you will be missed ; May God Bless you , may his Grace be with you always

J’ai connu Brenda à l’ARC moi aussi!  Elle était une collègue de travail… belle, gentille, à l’écoute… une personne avec qui il était agréable de passer du temps!  Sincères condoléances à toute sa famille!  Repose en paix ma belle Brenda!  ❤️

Our sincere condolences to Brenda’s family. 
My sister, Jann Després  was a dear friend of Brenda’s. They enjoyed a wonderful history of good times, volunteer work, family gatherings and travel. She was a loyal friend to my sister, especially during Jann’s illness. We truly hope the memories of her gentle soul bring comfort to you all.

I remember Brenda visiting our grandmother, Ethel White, on many occasions. It was so nice to get to know her as I didn’t know many of my 1st cousins. She was a sweet, warm person with a great sense of humour! When I visited Montreal one time she got her mom, dad and her son together and we all had breakfast. Such a nice memory for me. She will be missed! May she rest in Heavenly peace. Sincerest Condolences to my aunt Florence, Brenda’s children, any grandchildren. extended family and friends ❤️❤️.

Dear Jason, Chantal, Debbie, Mother and all the family. I met Brenda at CRA in 1996. We connected so quickly. We shared many things of our work and personal lives. We went to parties and outings together. My mother, Madeline, and Brenda worked together to argue with me and Chantal about our ideas of healthy diets!! Lots of laughs. We had many good times together. The last time I saw Brenda was April 21. She was happy to wash her hair and body that day and we had supper together with non-alcoholic beer. We had a great conversation. She said it was a good day. I planned to return and sleep over next time but time stops for no one and I missed the opportunity to visit again.  Please accept my condolences to you for the loss of your mother, sister and daughter. Paulette.

I am so sorry to hear of Brenda's passing.  I have been honored to call Brenda my friend.  We have know each other since 1986 although I did go to high school with a couple of her siblings.  We met at church in St. Hubert and have shared many memories together from out house parties to spur of the moment get togethers for dinners and best of all our camping trips together.  Although I have moved around quite a bit, every time I was in the area I tried to get a visit in with Brenda.  She has always been an inspiration to me.  A true friend through and through.  I will miss her greatly.  She will always have a place in my heart.  Rest in peace my dear friend.

Montréal means family to me. I didn't grow up there, I've never lived there, but whenever I think of the city, I'm reminded of my grandparents and their legendary home in Brossard. Reminded of my childhood road trips there for Christmas, Easter, and so on, when family, including my Aunt Brenda, would gather and eat and laugh. Most wouldn't consider Ottawa to Montréal a "road trip" but most don't understand what it was like to drive with my mom. I remember visiting my Aunt Brenda with my then girlfriend, now wife, Emily, when I was an early 20-something. I was so nervous. Aunt Brenda was just so cool. Her cool little condo in Atwater, cool insights, cool demeanour. And I always remember thinking that about her, from early childhood to adulthood. So down to earth, confident, composed, smart, clever, socially tactful, nice but stern. Someone who commanded respect. Someone who deserved respect. Someone I respected. I didn't spend enough time with her, and while that makes me sad, I am also happy that those closer to her got to experience, in greater amounts, my Aunt Brenda in all the gloriousness that she was. I love you, Aunt Brenda. You will always be in my heart. Your nephew, Jon

Percy at 2 1/2 and Brenda at 3. A friend of the family took a photo then painted over it to create a painting of them.

Brenda, my friend of 15 years, your life was a collection of moments stitched together by generosity, courage, and an unshakeable spirit. And even now, your presence lingers — in the lessons you taught, the love you gave to family and the countless lives you touched. You are a reminder that a life lived with heart never truly ends.
My most sincere condolences to her family

Irene

I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I will always remember Branda  as a cheerful and hardworking person who brought positivity to those around her. Her kindness and dedication made a lasting impression, and she will be fondly remembered.

My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
