Although I only had the privilege of meeting and seeing Brenda a few times, I know she was a wonderful Mother, wife, and friend to countless people. I was best friends with her biological mother and my deepest sympathies go out to Ray, Alex, and Zoe. Cherish the memories and all of the great times. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Brenda’s family and friends.

Today, I learned the heartbreaking news of this beautiful, infectious spirit's passing. I was a proud co-worker of Brenda here at Stewart for ten years. Before me becoming a remote employee, there was a point in time where she was my manager and we worked closely on Freddie Mac contracts No matter what kind of day we had while at work, she always made time to joke and always made me laugh. Anytime you walked into the office, you would always hear her cheerful energy that was so contagious. There was always something about her that always made my day better. When I moved over to Vendor Management, I was always excited to have Brenda on my vendor or software training calls. Leave it to Brenda, she would always manage to get a joke in and when she laughed, it was so unbelievably contagious. All parties on the call would always leave the call in laughter. I will forever remember her love for Halloween and I was always excited to see what she would dress up as. More importantly, remember her infectious cheerful spirit who always inspired me to better. She taught me so much and I will forever be grateful. No matter what you are going through, always take time to laugh and you will feel Brenda's presence with you. Rest well beautiful angel. Stewart now has an angel looking over all of us.
Brenda was one of the first people to introduce herself and welcome me to the Stewart family when I started back in 2013. Brenda was overly cheerful and excited to have someone new on the management team. Her bubbly personality and excitement was something I was not used to and initially I thought she seemed a little crazy (turns out I was right but in a good way hahaha) and I wouldn't have changed a minute of the time I spent knowing, befriending and working with Brenda. We made a pact to each other to do our best to get out of the office each and every day for lunch. We almost always went together because it was our little escape from the crazy workday. Sometimes we would talk about work struggles, personal issues or just giggle and laugh until we were both crying or couldn't catch our breath. I am sure some of the servers and people around us thought we were crazy but we didn't care. She used to call me her work husband and luckily Ray knew without a doubt that he had nothing to worry about with me! (lol) Brenda was always energetic and full of life. I have missed having her around over the last year or so and was super excited to have her come by and visit from time to time so we could catch up. Brenda was one of the good ones and is gone way too soon. I know she is in a better place sharing her happy spirit with those around her. Brenda please know there will always be a seat open for you at the table during my lunch breaks. I will miss you a ton!!! Thoughts and prayers to all of Brenda's friends and family.
In Loving Memory: The short time you live in the QC's (many moons ago) I enjoyed the time we got together . I remember one Christmas you gave me a shirt w/hood and was so comfy. Just to let you know I still wear it and will always think of who gave it to me. Rest in Peace Brenda - Ellie
