Brenda GALLEN Obituary

Gone too soon Brenda. RIP dear friend

I often remember Brenda, her beautiful smile and her sense of humour May you be at peace All my love Susie

I will miss Brenda's quirky humour and quick wit, the beautiful smile and her wonderful nursing skills. It really is too soon to say goodbye to her. My heart goes out to Barry and family on their loss. Words cannot express one's feelings at this time. Thinking of you Barry.

We are shocked and saddened to hear about Brenda. We were so lucky to become friends with her during our years in NZ, and both loved her company. She made work a nicer place to be, and, after we moved on, we loved our curry nights with Brenda and Barry. Our thoughts are with Barry, their children, family and friends. She will be missed by many people.. love from Andy Bullock & Karen White

To Barry, David, Daniel, Tim and families,
Thinking of you at this difficult time. Love and prayers to you all.

Dear Barry and all the Gallen and Phelon Families.
I am stunned and disbelieving as I read of the death of Brenda.
Jack and i have had a long association with her through her parents and were always impressed y her beauty and her quiet loving manner.
This is just a quick expression of sympathy and prayerful consolation and will contact you personally later.
With loving, sincere and prayerful sympathy .
