I want to extend my condolences to the family of Theresa Gibbar. I meet Theresa when she lived in Queen of All Saints Parish. We worked together on a few parish projects. She was a sweet woman who worked hard and always had a big smile for others. It was my pleasure to know her.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Karen, Tim, and Jane; You and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. God be with you in this difficult time. I can easily visualize Aunt Theresa's smile as if I can still see her today, that I will always remember.

Karen, Tim & Jane- You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Although, it has been awhile since I've seen your mom, I can
hear her contagious, wonderful laugh. I always loved
seeing her at the "ol house in Oakville!". Love to all of you at
this difficult time

Dear Hearts, Between Theresa's last hospitalizations she completed the information on the Gibbar part of the Powers family tree. Along with that information she sent me two book markers. One was the Irish prayer and the following one which is what I would like to share because I believe it is what Theresa wanted and shared with us all."When you are lonely, I wish you love. When you are down, I whsh you joy. When you are troubled, I wish you peace. When things are complicated, I wish you simple joy. When things are chaotic, I wish you inner silence. When things are empty, I wish you hope." Thank you Tim, Karen, Jane and boys for taking such good care of Theresa these past few years. She loved you all so much. Love, Aunt Re

Tim & Lisa, Karen, Jane and the wonderful grandsons, We extend our deepest sympathy to all of you on the lost you have suffered. God made only one "Theresa" and she was loved by all the members of the Gibbar Family from the very first time we met her. Her faith in God, her smile and her laugh was something that we all will remember. I will miss her phone calls. She was a wonderful person!
February 10, 2012
Dear Tim, Karen, Jane, Lisa and all four grandsons: We're all sad about the loss of Theresa, but what you'll always remember is the guidance she gave, the friendships she shared, the sacrifices she made, the example she was, her beautiful smile and the way she laughed, but what you'll always feel is her love. My sympathy to all of you. Love, Aunt Mary Elmendorf
