Jane Gregory My dad, Grant Brewster, was a cousin of Nan’s. He introduced me to her in 1999 at her Oak Bay apartment. After meeting her I wished I had known her sooner. She did phone me a few times, she was a very interesting, warm person. Hold your memories close to you. Thinking of you, Jane.

Neil Drewry Kind regards to Myrne, also to Paul & Muriel.
I worked with Bert for years; he took me to First United, now First/Met. We attended each other’s retirements.

Maureen Stebeck Nan was a lovely lady who loved life. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a way of turning everything into something to laugh at. She was a delight to be around and I truly enjoyed the times that I got to visit her. She will be missed but her daughter will carry on with the same zeal for life and laughter and caring of others.

Stephen Howell Myrne and Daryl: Judith and I were very sorry to learn of Auntie Nan’s passing when Betty told us on Monday. I have very fond memories of your Mom as a wonderful, warm and gracious woman. She was a beloved member of the Beere/Howell extended family, and such an important part of our big family gatherings at First United and elsewhere. I’ll be seeing my Mom and Dad this weekend in Comox and I know your Mom will be a part of our conversation. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you say goodbye to her. Love and best wishes, Steve Howell.
Myrne,
Doreen just phoned to tell me of your mother passing. I was sorry to hear of her passing
I did not know her well but through the years, I have fond memories of her. Especially when Grandmother Townsend was living at the home of your mother and dad.
The last time I was in Victoria and Doreen and I were able to have lunch with you and Nan, was a good memory of our visit.
Love,
Bobby.
