Gill is a scientist and knows much about genetics. She was always keen on having grandchildren. She bought crib quilts and she made rocking horses, all for her grandchildren. And she was always enthusiastic and interested in the other Gull Bay Group grandchildren. She always took our granddaughters on a special excursion, which they loved, but it did not take the place of her own. She was talking about her grandchildren long before her boys were even married.
Tonight we had dinner at Mary and Clif's home to welcome Gill's son and his wife and daughter to Nova Scotia once again. It was a happy occasion. Sierra is a happy little girl just over 18 months old. We did laugh. Our granddaughter Kate is in college with Sarah just one year behind, while Sierra is yet to go to nursery school. But Gill is younger than us even though her boys were just a few years younger than our boys. No matter the time or the age, we all celebrated the joy of Gill's granddaughter visiting us all in Nova Scotia. I just wish Gills husband Alan had been with us to join in the event, but he died of a brain tumor in 1981. He would have loved to be part of the action. But it was a joyous occasion celebrating the next generation of another of the Gull Bay Group.
