Condolence From: Graham Oliver
Condolence: Glenn, Bev and Heidi ... both Marjie and I would like to express our sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom and Grandmother. She was a one of a kind. I only met her on one occasion at Tim Horton's on a very wintery, January afternoon when she was an ambitious young lady of 102. She was sitting down having a tea and a chat with you folks and Terri Lynn and Roland when I strolled over to meet her. Shortly after I was introduced she suddenly jumped up with great exuberance and announced, "Terri Lynn, let's go shopping!" It had been snowing quite heavily and the sidewalks were knee deep with powder. Terri Lynn politely asked, "Shall we take the car Mrs. Kirby?" Without hesitation she replied, "No let's walk!" To be vibrant, both physically and mentally, until the age of 107 is indeed a gift. It was a privilege to have met such an amazing woman as your Mom and we will be thinking of her as you fondly celebrate her remarkable life. Graham and Marjie

Condolence: I remember my father mentioning this lady often. Sorry to hear of Mrs. Kirby's passing. Condolences to your family. Not sure but I think she was the last of the 9 daughters of Stephen (1860 - 1948) and Elizabeth Pritchett Vaters (1867 - 1938) of Middle Brook.

Condolence From: Joy Williams
Condolence: Glen and family: So sorry to hear of Aunt Gladys' passing. I have many fond memories when I was a little girl of stopping at Aunt Gladys' house on my way home from school. She would always let me "play" her piano and send me on my way with a cookie or two. To echo Monty and Joyce, indeed with the passing of Aunt Gladys an era has ended - the last of the exceptional sisters.

Condolence: Glenn, Bev, and Heidi. I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a lively soul. Cicero said that "the life given to us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent is eternal." She's left you with an eternity of memories - keepsakes.

Condolence From: JM Marsden
Condolence: To Glenn, Beverley & Heidi I know that words are never enough to convey feelings at a time like this but may you find comfort and strength in your memories. Your mother was a remarkable woman, Glenn, who lived a remarkable life. I was always so impressed with her intellect, astuteness and ability to carry a conversation about almost anything. I will always be forever thankful that you introduced us. Remember, the ocean recedes - but always leaves behind bright jewels in the sand. Your mom was one of those rare jewels. May you cherish the wonderful memories forever. With heartfelt sympathy... JM

Condolence From: Wayne Gould
Condolence: To Glenn and Beverley, What a wonderful life your Mom lived in all those 107 years. I remember when I was at the Gander Reunion, I passed by the house one day and she was out back, sitting in the sun, with her straw hat on, looking radiant. She was only 105 years, then! What a wonderful neighbour, wonderful Church partner, and a wonderful lady! She was a legacy for Gander. Glenn, you should be so, so proud! Gladys, May you have a wonderful journey to the other side. St. Peter has waited for years to welcome you! God bless!
