My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to a wonderful family. My heart is breaking for all of you.
Mrs. Kirby (Kirk) was truly one of a kind. I will always have such have great memories of her warm, caring ways and her sense of humor - that is really unforgettable. She often had something funny, yet light hearted to say and would have everyone laughing right beside her! Always laughing, happy and smiling.
She had that way of always making me feel welcome with her great pastas and that snack pantry!! She was incredible.
I feel blessed to have known her and every time I see a blue bird or an angel, I will remember all of this and smile because of her!
May your hearts be filled with great memories and joyful times together as you celebrate a truly wonderful woman and a live well lived.. Salute❤
