Dear Brian and family,
We were totally shocked to hear of Brenda's passing. Please know that you are in our prayers as you go through this deep dark valley. We pray that God will give you strength to make it through today, and that He will cradle you in His arms when you need to be held. Remember, His grace is sufficient!

Brenda is an extraordinary individual; someone whose character and benevolence has continued to influence my life; even with 20 years since our last exchange.
My deepest condolences; and my best wishes to her family.

To Brian,
I am Brenda's cousin and although you and I have never met, I have been praying for you daily over the last few months. I will continue to pray for you and your children as you begin to heal from the deep wound left by the loss of Brenda. May God go with you on this journey of healing.

To the Gaida & Thamer Families:
This scripture verse comes to mind when I think of Brenda.
Matthew 5:16..."Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Brenda was such an example of Jesus hands and feet. What a beautiful daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend to all. May Brenda's Christ like way continue to shine through her family and friends. In God's grace we rest.
Praying for all of you.

Dear Brian and Family,
I can't tell you how sad I am to hear about the loss of Brenda. Though I haven't seen you guys in years - I have only great memories of laughter and friendship from you both. My thoughts and prayers are with you & your family. I wish I could be there in person to pay tribute to Brenda!

Mr. Gaida,
I am so sorry to hear about Brenda's passing. I just wanted to let you know that your family is in my thought and my prayers. I can remember many great moments with you and Brenda camping with youth. On Oct. 17th we lost a great person but gained an angel, and one day when our time comes she will be there to welcome us.

My heart aches for you as you learn to live life without Brenda by your side.
I haven't seen you since our Lone Prairie Camp days but have such crazy, happy memories! I remember Brenda always smiling and laughing.
I am praying that you have a real sense of God's presence, peace and His strength in the coming hours, days and weeks.
With love and prayers,

Brian, Timothy, Renee, Jamie, Joshua and family,
We are so very sorry for your profound loss. Brenda was one of a kind. We will never forget the special way that she cared for our daughter Christie when she was a baby. We will also remember with a smile how patiently she put up with her husband’s idiosyncrasies. We hope that you will find strength and comfort in the presence of family and friends in the days to come, and we pray that God’s Spirit grants a peace that surpasses human understanding in these most trying of times.
- Greg, Carol, Christie, & David

My heart skipped a beat this morning upon discovering the notice of Brenda's passing...and I'm left hurting for all of you.
I didn't know her. But remember a little girl, 37 years ago, presented publicly at Rebel Band (Jasper Place High) concerts, so carefully turned out in an immaculate little uniform matching her Dad's...and now I wonder now if it was her?
What I do know is that she was a gift from God, a product of your love, your chosen Faith and solid Christian values. What seems so painfully obvious is that this was a mother and wife, vibrant, playful, hard-working, loving...now gone much too soon!
Glenn, since my gr.10 days in your classes our paths have crossed only occasionally, yet each was a great pleasure and encouragement for me. As a dad and grandpa, I'm struggling to imagine your great loss.
My wife Melody and I now serve as staff pastors here at Evangel Assembly. We've come to hold a deep and reverent appreciation for the precious privilege of being close to those who experience loss like this. In our journey and after all our experience, the only wisdom we learned, the only thing we find to do that's truly meaningful is grieve.
There's a sacredness in it. Tears say far more than words. They speak of overwhelming pain...but as well of an unspeakable love... and a Glorious Hope!..so we pray you will somehow 'feel' the substance and evidence of His loving comfort through our prayers for all of you!
