Debbie Kaplan Miss Bramley-Moore was my Grade One teacher at Queen Mary Park School in Edmonton, AB 48 years ago. She was my very first teacher and one that I have remembered fondly after all these years. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Cynthia Cordery I was saddened to hear of the passing of Gladys and on behalf of the Royal Over-Seas League, London, UK and members of the Edmonton Branch I would like to offer sincere condolences to the family. I have known Gladys for some 45 years and she was a staunch member of the Royal Over-Seas League for some 30 years. Although she moved to Victoria, Gladys travelled to Edmonton to attend the AGM for many years. She contributed much time and energy to the League and she will be fondly remembered by her many colleagues and friends at the Edmonton Branch. Gladys was a very interesting woman who had an opinion about everything and always had lots to say. She was always at the centre of any discussion and once told me that if I wanted to live as long as she had I should laugh a lot. I will remember her fondly.
