I am so sad to hear of Brenda's passing. She was far, far too young. Prayers and love to her family, her work friends.


Deepest sympathy from the Staff, Members, and Board of the Ridgetown and Area Adult Activity Centre.

I'm saddened & shocked to hear about Brenda's passing. I'm so sorry. I only started working with her in July and she was an incredible lady. She made me feel so welcome and a part of the team. I felt like I had known her for years and felt so comfortable in our talks. Her love for her family always came through in our conversations and she stressed to me how important family is and to treasure every moment. I'm keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory that no one can steal"

Memory Lane is a lonely place, where hearts are ever true.
Along the way we often stray, because it leads to you.
We cannot halt the hands of time, nor live again the past, but in our hearts are memories that will forever last.  

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

So very sorry to hear of Brenda's passing. She hired me to work for MCA and our business phone interview lasted 10 mins while the next hour we talked   about our personal lives. She was so proud of her family, through her emails and her voice they were always number one! While the next days, weeks and months will be very difficult, I hope that all your wonderful memories of the time spent with Brenda help to ease the pain.

Dear Whitney-
We are truly sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.  We met your Mom, Brenda, the day we took you away to the east coast for that wonderful holiday.  She was  such a warm and kind woman.  So sorry for your loss. Bert and Barb Groot-McLaren.

My heart goes out to the family, may God watch over them and help them through this difficult time. I met Brenda years ago through her beautiful daughter Whitney. Whitney and I worked together, absolutely a joy to have worked with and to know. Blessings to Brenda for raising such a great young lady. xoxoxox May her soul be eternal.

We are truly saddened to learn of Brenda's sudden passing.
I've worked off and on with Brenda for many years both through Hallmark and again with MCA.  I will remember Brenda as a very hard worker but fun loving and a supportive team leader.  We will miss her.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
Sincerely,

I am very to hear about Brenda's passing as she was loved by all. I had the honour of working with her for many years and was a staple at Hallmark and MCA. A very strong, independant and generous mother and woman. Our condolences to Whitney, Kelsey and Family from Sarah, myself and the Kids. I fly to Europe for business this weekend but will do my best to try to make it to a visitation if possible.

We are so very sorry to hear of Brenda's passing. May you find comfort remembering what a wonderful Mother, Sister, Daughter, Aunt and friend that she was. Sincerely Janet Irwin and family

Our Thoughts And Prayers Are With All Of You.

I was so sorry to hear of Brenda's passing. I worked with Brenda at MCA and she was a great boss and a good friend.  We had many good times working together.  Please accept my sincere condolences.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

It is with profound sadness I feel for the loss of our dearest Brenda. We met , or I should say became phone pals, when she called to introduce herself as my new supervisor at MCA, and we were on the phone 3 hours that day! Brenda had an amazing way of interaction and an engaging way that I took to from the get go. She was an outstanding supervisor, but I will remember most the friendship I gained that first day. We had many, many phone talks over the years about family (that was always 1st), work, and the ups and downs of life....I treasure each one!  My heartfelt sorrow to ALL who feel the loss of such a dynamic lady, but especially her beloved girls, Whitney and Kelsey,  and her heart lights Harlynn and Emery......Brenda I will miss ya Girl! I will choice to believe you are still a call away......love, Lori

my thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.  our daughters were classmates at cartier p.s.  from jr k to grade 8.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Brenda's passing at too young of an age. I was her field supervisor at MCA and shared many a laugh with her on the phone. She will be missed. My condolences to Whitney and Kelsey who she was so proud of, and the rest of her family.

Deeply saddened & still shocked about my FRIEND, Brenda's passing.  She was an incredible person with a great sense of humor. We connected from the very 1st day we met.  A rock solid genuine woman.   I loved how she did not "beat around the bush" but always said it like it was Good or Bad.  She loved her job & her team and would go up to bat for us.  I will miss her whole hearted  laugh & all our phone calls when she'd talk about her daughters, her son in law(the mechanic saviour) & her adorable grand kids...She loves them all so much.                                                                                              I am so sorry for your huge loss, Big Comfort Hugs to YOU ALL, today & always...

Condolences to Brenda's family and friends. I worked with Brenda for many years at MCA, you could always depend on Brenda for lots of laughs at our annual meetings. To young to leave her family so soon. Regards Annette Tchir

My heart hurts for you Whitney and your sister and grandbabies and all your family at this time. I send strength and love to you all. She will always be with you. Xx


Our thoughts and prayers are with Brenda's family.  She was a fantastic person and friend.  You could always count on her for a good laugh.  I am going to miss our weekly calls.  Stefanie and George Czornyj (Sarnia) Ont.

I worked with Brenda for just a short time and actually only spoke with her over the phone and via emails. 
She was lovely. Always kind, patient and friendly. My thoughts and prayers are with Brenda's family.

Despite the fact that I only met her personally only once a year Brenda sudden demise has saddened me.  I always found her to be an engaging and helpful person.  I will always miss her smile and optimism and we all be poor for the lost of her wonderful character.  I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to her family and friends.

My thoughts are with Brenda"s family at this horrible time.  Brenda was my team lead with MCA off and on for the last 13 years.    She was kind, funny,  and supportive.   She will be missed

I am praying for peace, comfort, and strength in this difficult time for Brenda's daughters, friends and family. News of her passing was extremely shocking and saddening.  Brenda truly was one of a kind. A terrific supervisor and a hard worker. I will miss her amazing weekly newsletters in the middle of the night at random times, her emails asking how life was going before work, and I will miss her telling you exactly how it was...like it or not, she told you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.  God bless Brenda.

My thoughts are with Brenda's family.  May the good memories help get you through the next few days.  
Melanie Schoeneweiss

My deepest condolences to Brenda's friends and family. Brenda was a very special lady and brought a smile to everyone's face. I will always remember Brenda's warmth and sunny personality. She will be fondly remembered by everyone she ever met.
