Dear Grandma,
You will always be special to me and all the memories I will hold dearly. Your kindness and giving heart was always present and you taught me how to appreciate the things in life we tend to take for granted. I love you Grandma and you will will be in my thoughts forever.

Your grand-daughter,Alicia

My Grandma Kirby,

She was an exceptionally caring and loving grandmother. She always would have a smile on her face every time I came to visit, and of course, a deliciously prepared blueberry pie waiting on the counter. I will miss her dearly and I will hold her memory with me forever.

Love,
"Her Grandson" Brian Allen

Dear Kirby family, I am so sorry to learn of Mildred's passing. One very bright light at St. John's church will be gone now. I enjoyed Mildred so much and have been involved at St John's on many projects with her. She was certainly one of St John"s leading ladies! I worked on the dinners and lunches with her and also the food giveaway. She was a joy to be around. I will truly miss my dear Mildred. Shirley J. Herson

Dear Kirby Family,
It was an honor and a true pleasure in taking care of Mrs. Kirby and getting to know her family. She was one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I have taken care of in my nursing career. I will miss her smile and the twinkle in her eyes.. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerly, Julie Prentice

Jeff and Reenie. I am thankful for the time that I was able to spend with Mildred. Mildred's smile always brightened up the room. I will always remember the way she would pat my hand and tell me it , "It will be alright". Mildreds love of sweets and crossword puzzles will always be with me. Thank you for allowing us at Clare Bridge the honor of caring and loving your mom. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Marilyn, Jim, Jeff and families,

Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of a truly kind and loving lady. There are countless wonderful memories that come to mind when I think of your mother. First and foremost, she was my favorite Aunt. She and Uncle Bill were a mainstay at all family get - togethers. Her smile and her warm personality will be truly missed. As a little girl, I remember that she always gave the very best birthday and Christmas gifts!! Even though...

I am very sorry to hear of this loss. My prayers and wishes go out to Mildred's family. She was a wonderful loving and caring woman. I took care of Milly at Clare Bridge Cottage and she was one of my favorite residents there. She had a beautiful smile and warming touch that was felt by everyone there in her presence.
