I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with Brenda. She was an excellent nurse, very caring, always smiling and had a good sense of humour. - Posted by: Ramona Sierens (Co-worker at L.M.H. in Swan Lake.) on: Jun 16, 2015

Brenda was the most loving and caring person this world has ever known. She treated every child who walked through her door as if they were one of their own, me included. I'll never forget the love and kindness she showed during some of the toughest years of my life. Nothing ever stopped Brenda from doing the most she could for the people she loved. Not even death will stop her, as I am certain she is watching over all of us, which she will do until we are ready to join her. Rest in peace, Brenda, and know that there was never anyone more loved on this earth than you. xoxoxoxo One of your many adopted daughters, Jessica Gervais - Posted by: Jessica Gervais () on: Jun 11, 2015

We had the pleasure of chatting with Brenda at many of our sons' soccer games. She was always so friendly and such a lovely person. She always cheered McKenzie on at all the games with such enthusiasm and was so proud of him. She will be missed. The Vieira family. - Posted by: Marianna, Paulo and Daniel Vieira (Our children played soccer together) on: Jun 10, 2015

We feel so blessed to have known Brenda. We got to know Brenda when Brooke and our daughter Danielle started school together and remained best friends through elementary and most of high school. There were may sleepovers, trips out of town, carpooling for school activities, concerts...We knew that when Danielle would spend weekends with the Andries' that Brenda treated her like another daughter. We will be forever grateful for this second family and for Brenda, a second mother to Danielle. We will miss her beautiful smile, her optimism and her ability to make everyone feel so special. Our deepest condolences to Ken, Jessica, Brooke and McKenzie. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. -Leanne, Steve, Danielle, and Adam Wilson - Posted by: Leanne Wilson (friend) on: Jun 10, 2015
