DRYER _ Amy Nora (nee Biddle) October 9, 1911 to July 2, 2007 With a strong
will and peaceful determination, Mom died on Monday evening July 2. She is
survived by daughters Amy Alma (Brydon) and Walter Yakimyshyn, and Gwyn Opal
Dryer. She leaves six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Marion
Virtue and George and Thomas; Grant and Cathy Brydon and Alex and Marika;
Ross Brydon; Louise Brydon; Goewin Demmon and Joel Shaw and John and
Charlie; and Shannon Demmon and Mallory. She leaves a brother Charles Biddle
in Surrey, a brother-in-law Lorne and Joyce Dryer in Victoria, and nieces
and nephews. 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. Mom asked that in lieu of
flowers contributions be made to support the Highland Secondary School music
program. Cheques may be made out to School District #71, memo: Highland SS
Music and mailed to Secretary-Treasurer Len Ibbs, 607 Cumberland Road,
Courtenay, BC, V9N 7G5. Receipts will be issued from the School Board
Office.

McGIRR _ Francis (Frank) Arthur died peacefully at Vancouver General
Hospital after a brief illness at the age of 90. He is survived by his wife
of 60 years, Emily, daughter Elaine Bartley, son Robb McGirr, brother Bill
McGirr, along with grandchildren Brian, Jackie, Kyle, Joey, Julie, Stephen,
and David, and his eight great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his son
Gordon (2003). His life was a testament to his strength and endurance. Born
in Midland, Ontario on September 20, 1916 he struggled with his mother and
two brothers through the poverty of the depression. He served briefly with
the Royal Canadian Airforce as a flight engineer. He began a career in
newspaper advertising with the Vancouver Province in 1947. His dynamic
personality served him well in the advertising departments of the Province
(1947-1962) and then at the Calgary Herald where he served as senior
executive Advertising Director until his retirement in 1982. He was a fierce
competitor who was never afraid to get his hands dirty and will be
remembered by the many who worked for, and with him, as a man who was always
aware and willing to help those in times of hardship. His memory of poverty
and his endless energy ensured his family enjoyed a life that was both safe
and secure. Memories of him walking the alleys on a bitter cold Calgary
winter to literally give the coat off his back to a homeless person planted,
the seeds of caring in his children that would follow them through their
lives. His retirement was filled with travel, yachting, and watching his
family grow and prosper, and slowed gently, over the years, to his daily
pilgrimage to the neighbourhood pub in Kerrisdale to have a "pint", with his
eclectic and ever-expanding group of valued friends. His death, like his
life leaves us with the memory of a man who "beat the odds" time and time
again, with dignity, strength, and caring. Our special thanks to Dr. Lutsky,
the staff of Pacific Spirit Health Center and Vancouver General Hospital for
the extraordinary care you provided. An informal memorial to his life will
be held at the Point Grey Golf and Country Club, 3350 West Marine Drive,
Vancouver on Wednesday, July 11 from 1 pm - 3 pm.

McLEAN _ Muriel Agnes It is with deep sadness that the family announces the
passing of our mother, grandmother and friend. Muriel Agnes McLean was born
on December 19, 1926, in Calgary, AB to Sydney and Mary Hopkins. The eldest
of three children. The family moved to Burnaby, BC in 1928. Muriel married
Doug on April 14, 1951. As a young couple they moved to Black Diamond, AB
where they farmed. They returned to BC. Shortly after, settling in Newton
for a brief period of time, then finally making their home in Aldergrove, in
November 1957, where they remained. Muriel was a keen participant in
naturopathic healing and lifestyle. Carrot Juice was a particular favourite.
Mom battled back from four significant challenges to her health, an
indication of her determination to live and her courage to pursue
non-traditional treatment. Muriel held strong religious beliefs and was a
member of the Hillside Community Church in Aldergrove where she had many
valued friends. Muriel is predeceased by two children and her husband of 44
years, Douglas R. McLean. She is survived by 7 children and 17
grandchildren. She has now gone home to be with her Lord Jesus. We will all
miss her very much. Love you mom.

MITCHELL _ Grace Isabell (nee Watson). Born in Goodwater, Saskatchewan, June
29, 1913; died in Coquitlam, B.C., July 2, 2007. Grace was predeceased by
her brothers, James, Mel and Jack, sisters, Pearl, Clara and Myrtle and by
grandchildren, Rebecca, Michael and Nick. She leaves her husband, Gordon,
daughter and son-in-law, Heather and John Wingert and grandchildren Marc
(Aireen), Karla (Brian) and Josh. Grace grew up in Vancouver, graduated from
Normal School as a teacher and taught until her marriage to Gordon in 1941.
After raising her family, she returned to teaching at Sir Guy Carlton School
until she retired in 1975. In retirement, Grace and Gordon traveled, enjoyed
their grandchildren and, in later years, met regularly with their friends
for lunch at the casino and for coffee at the Lougheed Mall. Grace will be
remembered by those who knew and loved her as a remarkable woman. In her
youth, she enjoyed sports. Golf, tennis and softball were among the
activities in which she was involved either as a coach or a player. She was
an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable woman, with wide-ranging
interests and was an astute judge of character. In spite of, or perhaps
because of these gifts, she remained a modest, gentle, loyal, compassionate
person with an abiding sense of humour. During the last several years of her
life, her eyesight failed. This must have been a source of great frustration
to her as she had been a voracious reader. However, she met this adversity,
as she had others, with equanimity, courage and a positive attitude. Grace
was blessed with that most fortunate of events, a 'marriage of true minds'
that lasted for almost 66 years. Family and friends who loved her and whom
she loved, will miss her. There will be a memorial service for Grace at 1:30
PM, Tuesday, July 10th at St. Laurence Anglican Church, 825 St. Laurence
St., Coquitlam, BC. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, a donation to
the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in her name would be appreciated.

NODA _ Alisa, sadly and unexpectedly was taken from us much too soon July 3,
2007. Born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, September 14, 1956, Alisa grew
up exploring the coastal waters of British Columbia on her father's fishing
boat. She graduated from Gladstone Secondary School at the age of 16, after
spending her school years in a program for gifted learners. After graduating
from SFU, Alisa traveled to Thompson, Manitoba as a public school teacher
but returned as an advocate for the First Nations community. She immediately
pursued a law degree at UBC and was called to the bar in 1985. Eventually,
through her practice, Noda and Associates, Alisa became one of the foremost
authorities in negotiating Aboriginal Treaties and providing legal council
for the First Nations communities of British Columbia and the Yukon
Territories. Equally committed to changing the world through her volunteer
life, Alisa worked tirelessly with Westcoast LEAF, a non-profit organization
that works to make Canada an equal place for all women. The Nikkei Centre, a
hub of Japanese culture and archives, was also fortunate to have Alisa's
contribution as a board member. Recently she accepted the role of President.
Alisa was a world traveler, which fuelled her love for music, ballet, food
and art. Her joyful appreciation for beauty infused every aspect of her
life, from Monet paintings to crayon drawings on the fridge. Gardening,
entertaining, singing and listening to opera, were among her many passions.
She treasured quiet weekends at their cottage on Mayne Island with her
husband Mark and beloved dog Juba, where she enjoyed her last day, walking
the beaches and relaxing with friends. Alisa was first married to Roberto
Toffolo, who later lost a battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband
Mark, mother Akiko, sister Rika (Duncan), brother Dwight (Stephanie), and
brother Mark. Indulging auntie to Jessika, Tasia, Evan, Jenna, Gareth,
