<div itemprop="description">GARDNER, GREER<br>February 10, 1944 – August 8, 2016<br>In Her Own Words:<br><br>I have left my world to embark on a new and joyous journey. My absolute devotion to special children brought me so much gratification and love for 35 years. Teaching was my passion and the students with whom I worked presented a very significant purpose in my life. I loved them all.<br><br>My total, unconditional bond with my animals brought me unbelievable peace in my retirement years. Felines, canines – it didn’t matter – but very special mention must be made of Paxi, my westie, whose love was palpable.<br><br>To you, my devoted husband and my fascinating and extraordinary friends – and you know who you are – I thank you for the inexpressible comfort of never having to weigh thoughts nor measure words. You permitted me to pour them all right out, just as they were, chaff and grain together, certain that your faithful hand would take and sift them – keep what was worth keeping, and with a gentle breath of kindness, blow the rest away.<br>May you all know my peace and pass it on, one day at a time.<br><br>At my request, funeral and interment are private. Contributions to the Ottawa Humane Society would be sincerely appreciated.<br><br><br>Sharing memories and condolences may be left at www.arbormemorial.ca/en/capital<br></div>
