Dear Irene, Kim and family, i wish to extend my sincere sympathy on the loss of your mum. Gwen was a gal with a sense of humour, an interest in the world, and a wonderful curiosity. She and Ross were a great couple. We never seemed to say one name alone. It was always “Ross and Gwen”. It is sad that she had to leave us but she has earned a rest. I like to think that wherever she is she is with Ross again. Love and condolences from Shirley Brown, Michelle and Keith.

I was quite sad to hear of Gwen's passing. My parents, Doug and Doreen McLeod were long time friends with Gwen and Ross. I remember Gwen making us feel very welcome when we first moved to Calgary, she was a wonderful person. I will pass on Gwen's obituary to my Mom who will be saddened by the loss of her long time friend. On behalf of my Mom, we pass on our condolences to all the family.

Dear Kim, Barry and family,

We are thinking of you all at this sad time. It was really nice to read about the things your mom loved to do. Our deepest condolences to you all.

Edwin and Kenda Riggs

Thinking of you, Dr. St. John, and your family during this time. She sounds like a wonderful person. Im so sorry for your loss.

Kim,

So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. A beautiful obituary indeed. I think your Mom and I would have had fun crafting together. Love the make something for someone else. Please know that I'm thinking of you, your sister, and family, and praying for lots of fond memories and peace.

Sending condolences to you Kim and Irene, I remember your mother and father very well. They always showed interest in our little family when they would visit with you, and your mom would be very interested in my sewing and crafts, she gave me some of her patterns and some advice to go along with it! I still have them tucked away with my older collections.Hold on to all the precious memories, they were very special people. Take care of yourselves and take time to grieve, love from us, Bill and Barb.

Sending heartful condolences to Kim and her family. What a beautiful obituary. I can truly picture your mom's spirit and how wonderful she was. Thinking of you and hoping happy memories bring comfort during this difficult time.

Sending condolences to Gwen's family, especially Kim - a former colleague. As I get ready to celebrate the 91st birthday of my own mother on April 24th, I cannot help but think about how lucky I am to still have her...my iron frypan. I have such great respect and admiration for this generation - they grew up in hard times - the great depression and WWII. They knew what it was like to make do with very little and appreciate the simple things in life ...my mother talks about receiving a box of apples at Christmas time from an uncle in New York and how excited she and her 9 siblings were to receive the treat. They worked hard, wasted little and valued civility. They are the people that smile and greet you as you pass them on the street. I fear we shall not see their kind again. A great generation indeed. Rest in peace Gwen,
