As a child who worked with Brenda 8 years ago, I feel sad knowing that she has passed, especially as she will never know that I went onto train as a social worker myself. She gave me the template and the knowledge to explore this profession, and I will keep everything that she taught me in mind with the young people I work with in the future.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Brenda. May the memories of her wonderful personality and many contributions she made to helping children and families be celebrated and never forgotten.
So now faith, hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
