My thoughts are with the Kirk family. I really enjoyed getting to know all of you, and had great respect for Mrs. Kirk. Sincerely, Jennifer Missere
Dear Lynn, Jim & Family: I was very sad to hear of Evelyn's passing. Yesteday I was mourning the 30th Anniversary of my father's death October 30th, 1980 at 72. Now back living in Wasaga Beach, my wife and I pass by your old cottage and the 'Big Rock' each day when we take our dog Gracie for a walk. I can still hear your Mother's distinctive laugh and voice and I know that Evelyn, Gord, Edith, Grieve and Isabelle are sitting in the 'dip' out of the wind enjoying a good conversation and Gord is pointing out and laughing that my father's 'morning dip' is occuring past noon most days. Those were the good ole days. I know Lynn that you were there when it counted to help your parents and I know you will help Norm through these difficult days and months ahead. Love & Best wishes, John & Marjorie Robinson
Dear Norm, Lynn, Jim and Family, Evelyn's passing has brought back so many fond memories, both of her and of our years together at Wasaga Beach. It seem back then like we had so many parents. I read John and Marjorie's condolence and I hope that Evelyn is joining the others for a chat in the dip. I'm sure Harold and Marjorie are there with them, laughing and enjoying them. My thoughts and prayers will be with you on Saturday. Love Maureen Magee
