Very sad to hear this news. Brenda was an inspiration to many. I will pray for her husband and family. Sleep well, Brenda, you have gone to a better place but will not be forgotten by the people who knew and loved you.

I am so sad and sorry to hear this news. I don't post very often but read the posts frequently and it is clear that Brenda has been an inspiration to so many.
My sincere condolences to John and family.

I would like to add my voice to the chorus of sadness at Brenda's death. I only knew her from this site, but it is clear that despite facing very difficult times during the last few years, she proved very supportive to other patients and the Mouth Cancer Foundation as a whole. My condolences to her family and friends.

Poor Brenda, hope she is free of pain in a better place now. Hope her husband John is o.k. and has loads of support from friends and family.

Dear All

Thank you for your kind words about Brenda. I have just received details of her funeral arrangements:
quote:
Vinod

Here are the details of the funeral arrangements. We would be delighted to see you but don’t feel an obligation:
  • 1) 10am service at St Edwards on Saturday 28 June in Whitley Bay
  • 2) 11.15am(ish) at the Whitley Bay Crematorium (all welcome)
  • 3) 12 noon - 4pm (ish)reception at The Grand Hotel, Tynemouth (“Brenda’s treat”)


Brenda has asked for
  • 1) No black if possible (but she would, no doubt, have forgiven those who need to)
  • 2) No flowers, donations to the Mouth Cancer Foundation. For further information contact Carol Nesbitt, 34 Willoughby Drive, Woodburn, Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, NE26 3DY, tel 0191 2524092
  • 3) Please come to the Grand Hotel, Brenda wants it to be a celebration and it’s “her treat”. A celebration may be difficult but we will try.


Take care

John


If any member wishes to attend please contact Carol Nesbitt and also let me know. I will be attending to say farewell to Brenda and will convey the good wishes of all here to John and family.

Best wishes

Unfortunately I cannot attend the funeral, It's a fair way from me and work/finances dont allow. I will be thinking of Brenda on the day though and will have a beer for her after work to celebrate her life. If you could pass on my regards to John and her family I would appreciate it too Vinod. Thanks. Hagg.


12 years and still kicking it.

I'ts so sad to hear that someone that fought so hard lost the battle.

She'll be sadly missed. The MCF has lost a fine asset to it's cause.

Dear Dr. Vinod,

Wish I could be there with her family. Very sad to learn about her passing. Please convey my condolence to John and family. I have lost a friend here in Malaysia and today is his funeral.

May their souls rest in peace.
