DRYER, Amy Nora (nee Biddle) October 9, 1911 July 2, 2007 With a strong will and peaceful determination, Mom died on Monday evening July 2.

She leaves friends of all ages throughout the province, continent, and United Kingdom. Her husband Gordon Ernest Dryer and a sister Irene Coleman predeceased her. She was a member of the Eastern Star. Mom was born in Vancouver and lived in many BC communities, the last two being Merritt and then Sicamous. Mom moved to Casa Loma Seniors' Residence in August 2003 and loved being in the Comox Valley. She went to as many concerts and cultural events as possible. She played a mean game of Scrabble. She often said, Well, there is always something to learn," and her favourite conversation opener was, What do you think about ?" which was the latest local or international situation. Throughout her life she encouraged many people to determine what they wanted to do and said, Then get on with it." Paraphrased comments about her include: She had a quiet but firm presence and a gentle often mischievous smile when we talked I enjoyed the bantering your Mom and I did; she was a bright and engaging lady I wish I'd had more time with your mom She sorted through quarters to find the ones I needed for my collection" And from a man who knew her when he was a child, Give her a big hug for me, and whisper to her that I love her." She leaves this earthly life taking with her a brilliant mind and giving rest to a tired body. We wish to thank all the people who cared for her so lovingly: the staff and residents at Casa Loma; the Home and Community Nurses; Doctors Wiens, Winter, and Aldis; and many family members and friends. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, August 11 at 1:30 pm at Comox United Church, 250 Beach, Comox, BC. Retired Lay Chaplain of the Comox Valley Unitarian Fellowship, Lynda Pesklevits, will conduct the service. All who knew Mom are invited to attend.
