Dear Paige and Hayden, Lara and I only met your mom a few times and very briefly but it was obvious how much she loved you and cared for your futures.She was a very strong person, so some of her strength is within you as well.

I, unfortunately, did not know Brenda well. She started at Black Creek and moved on from there. I do remember for every brief encounter over the years with Brenda, there was always a smile on her face and in her voice.
I pray there be peace and serenity for Paige and Hayden during difficult time and for the days to come. My sincerest condolences.

Brenda was such a wonderful and vibrant person, her positive attitude and strength was admired by all of us. We are so very sad to hear that she has passed away, and want Paige and Hayden to know that we are thinking of you at this time.

Hayen and Paige, we love you and send you much love during this difficult time.  We intend to stay in your lives.  You can count on us for anything.  The love we have for your Mom stays in our hearts.  Much love, Bev, Luc and Zachary.

To me Brenda was a complete person. An effective professional, she promoted harmony & inclusiveness w/ her humour, warmth & good cheer. A gifted listener, her difficult clientele responded to her genuine caring. A devoted mother, her children Paige & Hayden are remarkable & accomplished individuals. Brenda was advocate extraordinaire for them and many, many others. In life she was true to her spiritual community's care & love. 
I shall remember Brenda w/ much fondness & a deep appreciation for who she was among us. She will be irreplaceably missed. 
May God bless her soul w/ our thanks for her life.

Page and Hayden we are so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Although, we only knew her for a very short time, it was an honor and a privilege to have made her acquaintance. She was an incredible woman. 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Affectionately,
Charlotte, Lois, Sonya, Wendy

My condolences to Brenda's children and family. It has been a privilege and an honour to have known Brenda and to have worked with her. May she rest in peace.

From your creativity to your sense of humour, she has always been and will continue to be a part of you always!  I will miss her dearly.  Please remember that we will be here for you whenever you need us.

Je suis tellement désolée d'apprendre la perte de votre maman. Votre maman était une femme très dévouée et dynamique.  Je serai avec vous deux en pensée et en prière ce vendredi et samedi. Malheureusement, je ne pourrai me rendre. Je suis au Québec pour une durée d'un an en sabbatique.  Je vous souhaite beaucoup de courage et je sais que votre maman continuera à vous guider et à vous protéger tout au cours de votre vie. Mes plus sincères condoléances.

Dear Paige and Hayden,

We are deeply sorry for your lost. Your mom was a great human being and an extra ordinary mother.  We will never forget her; she is always in our heart.  

Please don’t hesitate to call us whenever you need us.

Maria, Farshad and Rana Nasrazadani

Dear Hayden & Paige,
I want you to know how sorry I am that your mother has past away.  I first met her just after you were born.  I went to the hospital to meet her (and you too) and that was the beginning of our wonderful friendship.  She was full of laughter, hope, intelligence and determination and we had so much fun together.  I fondly remember our summer vacation at Big Pink where we all spent every evening rolling down the hill together....laughing all the way.  Your mother's spirit lives on in each of you .....and what a wonderful spirit it is.  She will be watching over you every day.  You are both in my prayers.

Chers Paige et Hayden,
La perte de votre maman me touche profondément et je pense à vous très fort. J'ai eu l'honneur de connaître Brenda lorsque j'étais à la direction de GEC. Elle a été un appui extraordinaire pour la communauté. Grâce à ses efforts, cette magnifique structure de jeux continue à faire le bonheur de plusieurs enfants. Votre maman était une femme remarquable qui avait toujours les intérêts des autres à cœur, surtout les vôtres. Ses qualités sont trop nombreuses pour décrire mais je conserve des souvenirs précieux de Brenda. Son sourire rayonnant,ses yeux pétillants et son attitude, toujours positive, demeureront gravés dans ma mémoire. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de courage et je sais que votre maman continuera à vous guider et à vous protéger au cours de votre vie. Mes plus sincères condoléances, mes pensées et prières vous accompagnent. 
«Mme Lynne»

Allo Paige & Hayden,

juste un petit mot pour vous dire à quel point votre maman Brenda et moi avons eu du plaisir et que dire des fourires lors de vos visites à Montréal chez moi,  je suis avec vous de tout coeur et votre maman a été a mes yeux une "championne" a tout les niveaux et elle n'a jamais abandonné, c'était une battante, et elle restera mon "idole à moi" je vous embrasse très fort et je vous aime!
Diane Masson (Longueuil, Québec)

Dear Paige and Hayden,

We're so truly sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I was lucky to have met her a few times and she had the most wonderful smile and positive outlook on life. May you feel the warmth of her love on sunny days, see the strength of her character in rainstorms and find comfort in the tenderness of her arms when others show you kindness. You are in our hearts and thoughts; if we can help you with anything in this difficult time, please let us know. 

Love and big hugs, Rosanne (Adrian Nagy's Mom)

Dear Paige and Hayden, 

Max and I both are deeply saddened. She was your biggest fanclub and every life lesson that she gave you has been precious. 

She wanted you both to love life and enjoy every minute of it. You must do that - you must swim, sing, learn to ski, go to camp. Let the adults take care of you - there are so many who will stand in for your mom and guide you and hug you and be proud of you. 

 You are in our thoughts, Katharine Harrison and Max Setka

Dear Paige & Hayden ... you are in our thoughts and prayers ... God Bless ... Joe, Marion, Megan & Ian Webster

I wish to express my condolences to Paige and Hayden and the entire Keleher Family.  I had the honour of meeting Brenda about a month ago.  She had a beautiful spirit.  She was encouraging and helpful and supportive in a time when I most needed it.  She was a wonderful person. God bless you all in this difficult time.

Paige and Hayden- I can not begin to say how sorry I am about the loss of your mother. I knew your mother as a fellow Probation and Parole Officer and always admired her strength, grace, and fighting spirt!  I know that she will be watching over you and will always be with you through her earthly care, love and lessons of a good mother and now in her spirt. I pray for all that is good and loving for both of you.

Paige and Hayden - I had the honour and privilege of working with your mother. I will forever remember her for her strength, tenacity and sense of humour.  She will be so dearly missed. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.
