Bernice Davey Giddens

Thank you for sharing so much of Betsy's spirit and energy with us. It is a pleasure to read these memories of her and celebrate a life lived fully. Betsy's quick wit and joy of life live on in her children and the many people that knew and loved her.

Thank you for sharing so much of your Mum in this beautiful tribute. Please accept our love and condolences for your loss. We are thinking of you and sending hugs to you and your family. Love, Leslie, Earl and Shayna

As a young man in my first real job, I had the great fortune to work with Bernice. My future wife and I once went to a dinner party at her house. I still remember the night. What a life. And how many people have been touched by this generous, witty, life enriching spirit

Hope you will find comfort in knowing how proud Betsy was of all of you...During book club meetings and then on that memorable Mexico-Guatemala trip I heard much about you and her wonderful life. My sympathy.

I remember Betsy very fondly even though I lived only briefly in Toronto. I particularly remember eating, drinking, smoking and laughing with the family on the deck. Reading her life story it really is a case of a life well lived and lived to the full. My sympathies to all the family.

I remember Betsy very fondly from my brief time in Canada. Mostly sitting on the deck with the family eating, smoking, drinking and laughing! My deepest sympathy goes to the whole family. Reading her life story I'm left thinking; that was a life well lived!

Our deepest condolences to the family of Betsy for your loss of mother and grandmother. Reading her obituary was a journey in itself, an adventure in living life to the fullest. We will keep you close in our thoughts and memories.
Love, Brian and Nina

What a beautifully written tribute to a full life well-lived. It is evident Betsy's "larger than life" spirit will live on in all who had the privilege of knowing Betsy, no one more than her four children. We appreciate the belly laugh at the end of her obituary...no worries we will not be donating to the Conservative Party. Hugs to all who are celebrating Betsy's life and grieving their loss. <3 Nancy and Marc Duykers, (Winnipeg)

It sounds like your mother was a wonderfully intelligent, vibrant woman with a big heart. Please accept my condolences on your loss.

She is well remembered by many who knew her only a little, as is her family's loving support through her most difficult times. Wonderful to see such good traits get inherited.
