Sandra Globerman wrote a sympathy message

“I am very saddened to learn of Brenda's passing. We knew each other as children, both Tweenies who sat under the mushroom earnestly obeying Brown Owl. Later at camp as Juniors we shared a cabin, and were great childhood friends. In our teen years we were reunited as Councillors-in-Training. It was then she met the love of her life. To you, David, and to your family, I send my deepest sympathy. May her memory be a blessing to you all.”

“My deepest sympathy to the Saxe Family May you have comfort in your time of grief. Dr. Saxe was a more than just a supervisor. She helped me develop, provide meaningful work & support for many refugee claimants. Brenda fully supported the work I did & encouraged me through the many years we worked together. There are no words to describe the shock we are all feeling I was very touched by the loving tribute her grandchildren gave for her. I have been lucky to have had her in my life. Nataxja”

“For Brenda and All who loved her. Today, I will be with you in spirit. For myself, I had a 14 year relationship with Brenda as a Supervisee in private practice. She was an unfailing support for me in my work; a constant with thoughtful and wise advice. More than this, she was a safe haven, as we went through so much pain in our family related to our son's mental illness, while I worked full-time. She shared my joy in his hard won recovery . I love you and will never forget you. Andria Robin”

Joanne Nyland wrote a sympathy message

“My condolences to the family of Brenda. I had Brenda for a trainer at St. Paul back in 1998. I learned so much from her. I still often integrate things I learned from her when I am working. She was a great combination of soft, gentle compassion and bringing in the difficult things when needed. She has contributed to the wealth and knowledge of so many therapists in Ottawa. She will be greatly missed.”
