BRENDA MAXWELL Also known as: BRENDA ROULSTON HANKS MAXWELL ZOGRAFOV Brenda's soul winged its flight graciously up to the Realms on High on the early morning of Wednesday, December 2, 2015, after a valiant fight against glioblastoma multiform, stage four cancer. These are Brenda's own words from her Will and Testament: "In the name of Bahá'u'lláh the Glory of the All Glorious. Soaring in the heavens on the wings of eternity, moved by beautiful and stirring melodies, inspired by the burning desire to heal and bring to ecstasy the myriads of harassed and drooping souls living in a world of illusion, a candle sharing His radiant light with all." Brenda's immense compassion and sensitivity touched every heart that crossed her path. "It is our hope that our encounter may never be forgotten nor effaced from the heart by the passage of time, but rather that, out of the seeds thus sown, the sweet herbs of friendship may spring forth and remain forever fresh and verdant for all to behold." - Bahá'u'lláh.

Almost a year has passed since dear Brenda winged her flight to the Abha Kingdom. I did not know of her struggle did just recently so am only now sending prayers and deep love to her family. Brenda and her family were a big part of my childhood memories when our family with 5 children would descend on the Hanks equally large family. I have fond memories of the entire family and remember many wonderful moments basking in the sunshine of Brenda's laughter and beautiful smile. Many years later I was again blessed with a visit from Brenda and Alex at my home in Shawnigan Lake. There is much peace and warmth in my heart as I think of Brenda and her entire family at this moment. Much Love, Celia - Posted by: Celia Tikka / Schmalenberg (Friend) on: Nov 04, 2016

We sat at Assinibonne Park on a blanket, the afternoon and the day was beautiful and something eternal was in the air, this was when i was about 10, I was impassioned by your strictness, judgement and fine character, I wish I could have stayed by your side, I needed a big sister so badly ... forgive me for any grief I have caused you, I love you ... - Posted by: laura lynn mccculloch (dear Baha'i sister) on: Feb 11, 2016

Offering my sincere sympathy and condolences in the loss of your dear wife and also for the children, grandchildren and parents & extended family. May God give you strength and comfort Alex during this difficult time. My husband, Victor passed away this year. We were going to come to your invite Christmas meet; but my husband took a turn for the worse that day (he was not one to admit that he was feeling worse); therefore we could not attend. I miss him terribly! But God heals the brokenhearted & comforts & gives strength. - Posted by: Gwendolyn Ewert (neighbour - 57075 Murdock Road) on: Dec 12, 2015
