Brenda, such a beautiful person. You’ll be greatly missed. I had the opportunity of meeting and worked with you. RIP my dear friend.
Mike
RIP cuz , lots of good memories of you when I was younger in Ontario. Memories that I will never forget. My kids had the pleasure of meeting you a few summers ago in Newfoundland, they were pretty shy and Brenda by the end of her stay had them talking up a storm with her. I think it’s safe too say that if you had the pleasure of knowing her you are a better person because of it. Mike, Joanne, Breanne, Jarred Parsons

I come to this page often and start to write and then stop, because I can’t find the right words to express how much the Coutures mean to the Gibney family. Reading all the heartfelt condolences that have been left here is a true testament to the wonderful friend you have been to so many people. Brenda I knew from the day I met you 17 years ago , that we would be forever friends.I love that our kids grew up together and that our friendship spilled over to them. You are so many things to so many people and you have left a mark on all who have been lucky to have met you. Your strength, compassion, friendship, and love is truly inspirational and amazing to witness, and I am blessed to have had you as my friend. We miss you terribly, but we are also happy that you are no longer in pain, and are reunited with Joan and Harvey. Sleep well Brenda and looking forward to the day that we get to talk, laugh and hang out again, love you always. My deepest condolences to Dave, Matthew, Brandon, Andrew and Justin. The Gibneys will always be there for you xoxoxo

Brenda was an inspiration to our Dialysis family. She always had such a positive outlook. It was a great pleasure to spend time with her and Dave. Brenda will be missed greatly by everyone here. My sincere condolences to Dave and the boys, and her family.
Tanya Lavigne
David & boys,
Each of us wish that we could be with you across the miles. We hope it gives you some comfort knowing we are all with you in our hearts & spirit. There are just no words that give justice to the women Brenda was & what she meant to us all.
We are thankful every single day that you brought Brenda into our family all those years ago. She simply was not just married into this family. She was born to be a part of our lives and the relationship she had with us defies any understanding from anyone that didn’t have the honour of feeling that bond.
Brenda we have seen you “adjust your sails” so many times over the years and it was truly awe inspiring to see the stength you had inside you. It was as beautiful as seeing an angel spread her wings!
“She stood in the storm, & when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails. You cannot change the wind, Simply adjust your sails”
This quote reminds us of the kind of person Brenda was and we are lost without her but, we know something in our hearts. She, more than anyone we know deserves to have all her suffering vanish. This will help us when we feel lost without her. Knowing she is an angel in heaven, pain free! Her beautiful smile will shine down on each of us……especially shine on you David and her precious boys.
Please know guys that we are with you tomorrow, heart & soul.
Love
The Couture Clan
Sue Kelly
To Wonderful David and your amazing boys, I’m so sorry for the loss of Brenda (Mom) in your life. She loved you all so much while she was here and I know that she is still sending you her love from heaven and will always be walking with you even though you can’t see her.
I think about all the wonderful times Brenda, Patty and I had when all the kids were young. Meeting up at each others condos, going to playgroups, going for walks and to the park. I am so grateful to have had those times together of caring, support and love. My thoughts and love are with all of you.
