In Loving Memory of Brenda
Brenda was a bright light in all of our lives. In the days after her passing, nearly every note we received from friends and family, spoke of Brenda's warmth and kindness. For the last 4 years of her life, Brenda quietly (without a single complaint) battled secondary breast cancer. The support she received from Maggie's and the friends she made there, contributed greatly to her being able to enjoy the last years of her life with her family and friends. For that we are very grateful.
In Brenda's honour we are requesting donations be made to Maggie's, so we can help spread a little of BB's kindness to those who are still battling cancer.

Thoughts
It's now April, the pain is still raw, still real, we are all grieving for Brenda. There's a massive eternal hole in our lives, one which will never be filled. There are stages to grief, now I'm angry, sad, tearful and confused. Confused about what our lives will be without BB, angry she has been taken from us too early. It's a journey I wouldn't wish on anyone, but a journey most of us will travel along at some stage of our lives. Life is so precious, health is too, you really only realise this once you've lost a dearly loved one. Before it's too late, live your life to the full, tell your loved ones you love them, be as happy as you can. We can't bring BB back, how I wish I could I would gladly swop places. Cancer can longer touch you Brenda, I curse the day it did, Willow and I are so lonely now without you...I love you xxx

A loving tribute to a beautiful wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Brenda's light shone on so many, she gave inspiration, guidance, peace and happiness. Life will not be the same because BB is no longer with us, but what Brenda did can never be undone. Her sons, their wives, her grandchildren and all of the people she touched with her friendly nurturing personality, these are a fitting legacy. Brenda was a bright shiny sunny spring day, a spring day that will live in us for the rest of our lives. We love you Brenda.

Beautiful, Radiant, Easy-going, Natural, Devoted, Amazing … that pretty much was our Brenda, to the letter and in a very wee nutshell because she was so, so much more … to everyone. At this extremely difficult time, there are very few words which John and I can say or share which will take away the pain of losing B given the faultless character and pure genuine goodness that was, by nature, in Brenda… there simply are no words … or certainly not enough.
Our dear Brenda, you’ve no idea how much you will be missed, how much the dynamics will change without your smile, laugh and mischievous looks … and how much our hearts will be so heavy without you. Your kindness, grace and gentle ways will forever carry on through your wonderful family.
We sorely miss you already B and I’m beyond gutted Wee Eliza didn’t get to see or cuddle you again.
Rest well now and for Gods sake look after the rest of us down here and send lots of sunshine ☀️ Xox ❤️💐
