Condolences
It is with sadness that I learned of 'Aunt' Gladys' passing. She and my mother, Dorothy Berg (Weitzel), were cousins so I'm surmising that would make Gladys a first cousin once removed to me. I remember mom fondly relating the great times she would have with Gladys, Lorne, Gord and Kay. Even before Gladys started teaching she would lead all the cousins in whatever activity they cooked up. It all sounded like so much fun. The attributes of a good teacher showed up early on and were still with her after she retired. I distinctly remember knowing that I had to be mentally quick whenever I had an opportunity to visit with her. She had a wonderful curiosity and loved to engage with people. It was a privilege to know her and I offer my deepest condolences to the family. You are in my prayers. Margaret

I was so happy that you could be with us at Homecoming last summer. It was our honour to have you there! You were truly one of the best teachers ever. Angie and I will surely miss you. Please know that your family are in my thoughts and most certainly my prayers. Rest peacefully dear friend. Debb Cameron
