“Brenda was such a warm and caring person and she will be missed by so many people. I worked closely with Brenda at TI as we developed programs and services for young Inuit children and their families. She was full of compassion for others, with a fierce drive to make things better. I am so grateful that we were able to have a lunch together with a few others before Covid hit. I will forever remember her as the beautiful and radiant woman who touched so many lives. Rest in peace now”

“My condolences to the family. Brenda helped me when I was younger by letting me stay with her for a summer while I found my way. I was happy to see her at Inuit events and I spent some time as a board member at Tungasuvvingat Inuit, an organization that she dearly loved. I'm quite sad to hear of her passing, she was a wonderful, loving woman with so much passion and grace. My thoughts are with Eric and the rest of her family, I hope you find peace in her passing and know she was loved by many.”
