Mom’s final resting place

Mom,
It was pretty much just me and you for most of my life. You were the best Mom a girl could ever have. You worked so hard to give me the best life you could. You were the strongest woman I’ve ever met. You taught me so much; how to be a caring and giving person, how to be a good Mom, and how to work hard to provide for my family. You taught me not to take things for granted and to appreciate the little things. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.
I always knew how sentimental you were but I saw it even more this past week when I was going through your house. I found all my little dresses you kept from my 1st pictures, my 1st Birthday, and even my Flower Girl dress I wore in your wedding. You kept every childhood memory; my Cabbage Patch Kids birth certificates, my Grade 3 Friendship Princess sash and crown, my Grade 4 glasses, even some of my baby teeth and my 1st haircut. There has been many tears as I walked down memory lane, picturing you in every moment and knowing you were watching over me and bawling with me with every tear I shed. You had the strongest exterior but the softest heart.
You also kept every Birthday card from all of your friends; near and far. You were truly blessed with so amazing friends. I know how much you loved your phone dates with Danya, Jean, Dar, Clara; just to name a few. Your Minto friends are going to miss you so much at the Corner Store, playing TV Bingo at your house on Sunday nights, or just popping by to visit you for a chat and a beer. But I also know that you are so happy to be reunited with your Best Friend Shirl, I can see the smile on your faces to be together again and Maizie joining in for a group hug. And I know you are happy to see your old friend Sharon. I have no doubt it’s an amazing reunion with so many.
Of all the things I’m grateful for aside from being so lucky to call you my Mom, is that my boys were blessed with the best Nana in the whole wide world. Brendan was your Little Darling from Day 1, Christian was your Little Fart. They loved their time with their Nana. I know how much you loved when Brendan would spend Christmas with you. The boys will miss their Nana so very much. One thing is for sure is that we will never let your ”Chubba” Nora Jo forget her Nana Logan. She will know you loved her dearly. You just loved telling me about her visits.
I’m so thankful for your trip to Alberta. You had such an amazing month visiting Christian and I. I’m so glad you got to meet Dylan and Kwame. I loved the smile on your face every Tuesday (even though you didn’t want me to spend so much on the pasta but you would take some home so you could have some the next day for lunch to make it worth the price). You loved watching cooking shows day in and day out that even I was seeing repeats. Our favourite part was taking you to the mountains, you were in awe of the beauty, your smile was worth every penny. And the night we went for fondue; you were not up for trying “weird shit” as you would say and we tricked you into eating alligator and you liked it.
I learned a little more about you this past week. You would tease me about being the party organizer and throwing surprises. I found letters you wrote to Auntie Ethel planning a surprise Anniversary party for Grammie & Grampy. So I guess it’s safe to say I get it from my Momma.
I also found so many letters that Grampy wrote to me and you, it reminded me how much he loved to write to us and it made me smile to know I get that from him.
I’m beyond thankful for my surprise trip to Fredericton for your Birthday in October. Little did I know it would be your last Birthday and the last time I would see you. But I take peace in knowing I gave you a Birthday to remember. I tried to surprise you but you were too stubborn so I had to tell you I was getting on a plane and I would be there in the morning. I was still able to surprise you with your Best Friend Jean and her husband Neal who you hadn’t seen in over 20 years. And a Birthday breakfast that you were showered with more love. I’ll forever cherish that visit.
I know you hated 2022 and were so excited for 2023. I never imagined I would be standing up here doing this for you in 2023. But I do take great comfort that you are with Grammie, Grampy, Uncle Bob, and most importantly Auntie Linda. She was not only your sister but also your Best Friend. I know your heart was broken when she passed. I know the two of you will watch over Uncle Donnie and Uncle Wayne.
My biggest struggle is that you were so excited to meet Chris. You couldn’t wait to see us this summer. It took me forever to meet such an amazing man. I know you could tell through our phone conversations and FaceTime just how amazing he is to your pride and joy. I know you have been watching over us in the past week and can see he’s been by my side every step of the way and he’s been my rock.
Something I am taking comfort in is that with living away I always wished you were better with technology and social media. That when I would post on Facebook and friends wouid tell you things or when Chris and I would do something and he would ask if I sent it to you or when I’m on one of my many adventures I would always want you to see. You no longer need technology or social media, you are going to have a front row seat. You will get to see for yourself the amazing life I have, you will get to see the boys live their lives, you will get to watch Princess Nora grow.
Mom our hearts are forever broken. A piece will forever be missing. You didn’t suffer, you are at peace, you are “tits up” for the final time.
First my Mother, forever my friend.
I love you Mom

I was so sorry to learn of Brenda's passing. I remember her visiting her Aunt Ethel on O'dell Avenue many years ago and my younger sister, Sharon, would play with her and her siblings. I met her once, in later years, and I thought she was such a sweet person. We are distant cousins and I was so pleased to chat with her. My sympathy to all the family as you mourn her passing. Sincerely, Diane Gorman Flynn

Brenda you will be forever missed. I always enjoyed our phone conversations. I was looking forward to this summer when you were going to come home and help Wayne go through Linda’s stuff. We were going to get together. You were so thoughtful and always checked in to see how the kids and I were doing since Bob passed. I am grateful to have had you for a sister in law.

Brenda was a godsent to us and the boys especially. She was so good with them , she even had Derek trained at the age of 2. They loved her and so did I. I knew my boys were happy to be with her. Jody did a lot to help her mom , so the boys loved her too. After moving to Fredericton, we eventually lost track and I am sorry for that, because we never forgot her and often talked about her. RIP Brenda
Paulette, Gerard, and the boys (Derek & Terry)

Her heart beats on Jodi in you and the boys and little Nora Jo will grow up knowing how much love she gave. We all know Jodi has Tons of pictures (lol) for Nora to never forget her ❤️

Q: What will you never forget about Brenda?
A: Having known Brenda for many years, there are many fond memories...youth group at Highfield, our time at Trimble, even a month of sharing a trailer in White Frost when Jo was a baby. Wing nights at the Little Rock were not uncommon in later years. Then we reconnected after Brenda moved to Fredericton, which resulted in many assorted shenanigans...including line dancing, shooters and seeing Joey Knight at the Country Corral. Spending time with her and Jo...even visits for tea with Ethyl and Helen on occassion, spark memories that still bring a smile. She is remembered fondly and will be missed. My love to Jo and the boys and their families...

Brenda was one in a million. She was a wonderful friend who will be missed dearly. We appreciate the blessing of having the time that we did. Brenda blessed US with her friendship, it was our good fortune of having such a loving, caring and thoughtful presence to illuminate our times together. Thanks Brenda for being as awesome as you were. A star in the sky placed forever. Our deep and sincere condolences to the family.

There are so many memories, but one that stands out to me is when you came home for your 40th, and surprised her. To see her in tears of joy, and hugging you so tight. She loved you with everything she had, and she will hold you tight in the tough days. Love you!!! ❤️

Oh the memories of being the little
girl living next door on Morrison St all of those years. I remember many laughters, your mom yelling “Sasha go home” haha. She treated me like her other daughter, and didn’t even care that I’d come over at wee hours in the morning, haha.
Brenda had a heart of gold, and her love for her Jo (jodi) was so large and felt.
When I think of Brenda I have many memories that run through my mind from being that little girl next door, and I also think of turtleneck sweaters, Brenda loved her turtleneck sweaters, lol.
Great memories for sure. She will be missed. Xo

Bren and I shared so many great times in our younger years. She was the best friend one could want. Even if it was awhile between chats or visits, we could just pick up where we left off. There is now a void in my life. Will truly miss her. Jodi and boys, know you were her life and love.
