So sorry to just hear about your mother Karen and Derek. She was one of the coolest mothers I knew when I was in high school with Karen. She always was so much fun. Sending you both my condolences.

Jayne Eisler, Qualicum Beach BC.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine your pain and grief at this time. I wish I knew the perfect thing to say to make it all better, but those words don’t exist, all I can say is that Maureen you and your family are in my prayers.

Brenda was a bright and cheerful person who always had a smile and a warm welcoming manner. My wife (Cathy) and I came to know Brenda through our daughter Jennifer’s relationship with her grandson, Jesse. We were immediately impressed by her willingness to participate in events and games…Brenda was not a shy or timid woman. Our sincere condolences to the entire Buchholz family. Know that our relationship with Derek, Maureen and Jesse was strengthened by Brenda’s gifts of love and acceptance.

I first met Brenda B almost 30 years ago when I was a rookie in the gift industry. Fortunately I was able to ‘stay in touch’ through Derek and Maureen. I truly enjoyed seeing their pictures and Brenda B enjoying life. I sought after and learned from her sage advice. Her loyalty, honesty and wisdom and especially her sense of fun has stuck with me throughout my life. She was one of a handful of people who helped me make the decision to move to Thailand. All I had to do was think WWBBD? Thank you and love you Brenda B.

Dear Brenda, always chipper, bright and changing her hair colours to reflect her mood. A lovely lady having a life well lived. We’ll miss seeing her come and go and a wave over the hedge. Rest in peace. Sincere condolences to Maureen, Derek, Jesse and all the family. Patti Mathews

Dear Brenda, I feel very lucky to know you for 9 years. You're amazing human beings.We have a great memories together and I'll remember you till my last breath. RIP and all my respectful to you and love you. Thank you to Maureen for everything.

Brenda was one of my favourite people. She stood on principle and was never shy to share her opinion! Her presence was always felt. She shone throughout her life and her strength endured during her lengthy illness. She made life more colourful and is undoubtedly in debate with one of the saints as this is written. The heavens glow a bit brighter since she walked through the gates to a welcoming crowd!!

Dear Buchholz family. I have been fortunate to have known Brenda B for approx 30 years. During that time we spent many Christmas’, Birthday and Special occasions, golf course events etc together. Brenda will always be forever a young spirit, that always shared laughter, family and Joeco’s special “fun” times together complete with hats and dress ups. She will truly be remembered by me and my children. Will miss you and love you always. Joe

Rest well Brenda… such a kind and warm spirit ❤️
