Dedicated to the memory of Brenda 'Daisy' Bellis
Brenda was our much-loved wife, mother, and grandmother – she was also a sister, an aunt, a friend, colleague, and teacher. She was passionate about music, nature, reading, and education. Her work in teaching and in support for learning meant a huge amount to those who benefitted from her patience and support, and many of us were inspired by her dedication to this work. Most of all, she loved her family.
We would be grateful if you might leave a memory of Brenda or a few words, and if you wish to you can donate to one of the charities that represented some of her passions in life - her love of nature and birds, of Orkney, and of music.

A beautiful celebration of a beautiful person - inside and out. Brenda would have been so proud of all her family today as they all remembered her in their own special way. God bless.

For my lovely, gentle, kind, wise and thoughtful friend Brenda; for Rob and all the family:
A Gaelic Blessing
Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep peace of Christ,
of Christ the light of the world to you.
Deep peace of Christ to you.

Our lasting memory of Brenda is her kindness and concern for others. I am sure that she touched many peoples hearts because of this.
Bruce Coville summed it up beautifully
"Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can't hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they've touched you, if they're inside you, then they're still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart." She will be in many hearts.
