    Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother.
    I remember going into the restaurant as a child after the milk truck run to St. Marys and getting a coke. This is when I got to sit on the seats that spin. Your mom would always stick her head out of the kitchen to say “Hi”.
    May you cherish the memories and know that we are thinking of you during this sad time.

    The Gagan name is always remembered. Many many years ago when your family lived in Parkhill we visited your farm.. Buck Gibbs visits with us and we remember the “good old days”. We hope you will cherish your memories of your mother. I remember her being at the barn helping to milk those cows!

    I worked at the Wildwood Care Centre a few years back when Birdie was a resident in the retirement section. I always enjoyed looking after her and listening to her stories. May Birdie rest in peace and her family cherish their many memories of her.

    What a great lady. Of course, we will miss the wonderful pies.
    But whose sofa are the amaryllis going to creep out from under now? Thinking of you.
