My thoughts and prayers are with Barb, Bob and their families. I know how loved she was. May her memory live on in the stories to our children. Sending hugs and love.

We were very sorry to hear of Gladys passing on Valentines Day in her sleep. A blessing for such a gracious, gentle 94 year old Sweetheart.

We met Gladys and Gerry in Toronto as Gerry (Regina) and Doug (Winnipeg) worked together at Safeway's new head office (Toronto). We became close friends and have wonderful memories of our family times together in Georgetown/Brampton areas - hiking, picnicking, exploring, swimming in their above ground pool, eating from their fabulous gardens and many other fun activities. We visited with them in Calgary after they moved there. It was like we had never been apart. Our friendship remained strong over many years.

The Kennedys have been an example of a loving, smart, "play hard, work hard" and down to earth family who have coped together over the years with many of life's difficult challenges. We know at this sad time that you will support each other with much T.L.C (tender loving care).

Thinking of all of you,

Love,

Donna and Doug Auld

My deepest condolences to all of you. Gladys was so easy to like - I enjoyed many interactions over the years. Mostly dinners ~ at Barbs, at Swiss Chalet, Birthday dinner at age 92, and Christmas dinner one year at the retirement home. She was always sweet and cheerful - I hope I end up in that state of mind when I am 90! Barb - you took such great care of her- I always admired your commitment and devotion to your mom. She was lucky to have you so near.

Just two weeks ago I thought to myself- I hope I get to see Gladys sometime soon. I called Barb and as it happened they were nearby at Weaslehead park sitting in the sun in the car- looking out over the beautiful view. I jumped in my car and went over to join them and we had a lovey little visit. I think she had her fall the next day, and by the following week she had left us. So glad we had that last encounter. May she rest in peace. Lots of love to all the family.

Gladys Kennedy's family - I am so very saddened to hear of Gladys' passing. It has been many, many years since I last saw Gladys. I worked with her husband, Gerry, for many years at Safeway. Gladys was always such a kind, wonderful soft spoken lady and she will be greatly missed by her many friends and her family. My sincerest condolences to all.
