Condolences
Whether it was Brenda's visits to Montreal or when we visited her in Saskatoon, the memories were cherished and will always be remembered. I feel fortunate to have known such a wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers for the Serpentini and Dean families.
So very sad to hear of Brenda's passing. I have fond memories of visiting our wonderful cousins on the great prairie of this fine land. It did not take long to understand what a warm, bright, and engaging soul Brenda was. My brothers and I were quite struck with the news. To all, please accept my condolences for the loss of Brenda to this world. I am certain she has landed in the arms of eternal peace.
My love to all,
Darrell Broad
My condolences to Brenda's family. I moved into the neighbourhood in 2003. Over the years I got to know Brenda through our front lawn and alley chats and a few home visits. I remember Enzo and Brenda popping over for a bonfire or two in the past and laughing a lot and good conversation. I helped Brenda with some of the clearing out of the garage and selling some things for her on Marketplace. She was always so gracious and grateful. I was used to seeing her little car passing by in the alley and when I was outside, there was always a conversation to be had. I will miss seeing her and miss our alley chats. She was beautiful, kind, generous and patient. What a beautiful soul. Our thoughts are with you Lia and Gino. I watched you two grow up from across the way. Take care of each other.
Lia, Gino, "Momma Dean", and her extended family.
We all lost someone we loved very much - Mom, sister, aunt, cousin, friend. I can only believe that Brenda is up with Enzo, and looking down at us and smiling because she is now complete, she is free and and at peace. We will meet again, Brenda, and I will have back my "sister from another mother" as we always called ourselves. We had many laughs together and I know we will have many more when we meet again.
Hugs and much love to all of you who loved and miss Brenda but rejoice in that her love is still here with us, surrounding us each and every day.
Gone, but not forgotten.....

I am just so shocked to hear this news I only spoke to Brenda a few weeks ago on the phone and though she had had some recent health issues she sounded all right. I have many fond memories of our get together‘s as I move to Calgary shortly before her and we spent many times out at fun places over wine and drinks and I also spent many times at her home when I would be in Calgary on business after moving to Winnipeg. I am just so terribly sad to lose such a wonderful friend and my condolences to her children Lia and Gino and the rest of her family. Theresa Collins Nelson
My sincerest condolences to you Lia and Gino on the loss of your mother. You both meant the world to her and perhaps you can take confort knowing she is now at peace and once again reunited with her beloved Enzo for whom she missed dearly .
I met Brenda on a Contiki tour of Europe and we formed a lasting friendship for 30 years. We had talked of doing a big trip together to celebrate her 60th but sadly it never came to fruition due to her failing health.
I have many fond memories of our times together and long telephone conversations over the years. She was one of my dearest friends and will be missed.
I am sorry I wasn't able to make it to the service but please know you can reach out to me if you need help with anything.
My thoughts and prayers for you both.

My sincerest condolences to you both, Lia and Gino, on the loss of your mother who's love, spirit and energy brought beauty and wholeness to your lives. Wherever you may go and whomever you will become in your lives, she will always be your foundation and her proudest gifts. May her memory be a blessing to you both. Respectfully and with deepest love to you both - Mya Myllykoski
Dearest Lia and Gino, it is with such sorrow that I write and offer condolences on behalf of our family. I know your mom was an amazing and loving mother and wife. Brenda treated our daughter Sophie like her own daughter. Brenda was so kind, loving adventurous, funny, intelligent and patient. Through many sleepovers and play dates, she worked hard to make her and Enzo's home a welcoming place. I'm sure over the years she acted like a loving Mom to many of Lia's and Gino's other friends over the years as well. To me, she was a great friend and I loved her very much. I pray for you both and that your family be lifted up by God's tender grace and know that she rests in peace with her beloved Enzo. Hold tight to all your beautiful memories of your mom and how she had a profound effect on so many people's lives and how her easy smile brought so much joy to many hearts.
- Marni, Paul, Sophie and Alisha Lemay
