Condolences to Deb, Laurie, Brian, all who loved Bev Irwin. Years after the time spent at your house on Orchard I had the privilege to see her again during visits to Centennial Place, shining her smile for all. Such a lovely lady who lives on through you.
Seeing Beverly’s picture brought back many memories of three young cousins, Margie, Beverly and myself spending summers at Pretty Beach on the shores of Lake Ontario. Oh those days were the good times of our childhood.
Dear Brian,Laurie and Deb , So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Childhood Memories stand out when it comes to your Mom , she was always kind and Loving ! She will be dearly missed and Loved by all those who knew her Love Leslie xo
Bev Irwin was, and is, a true earth Angel. Growing up, our parents were best friends & Bev was like a 2nd Mom in our home. While Bev’s known for her bright smile & positive attitude; it was her loyal courage & authentic integrity, her purity that made her a hero of mine as young girl & still today. I’m grateful too, for growing up surrounded by Bev & Doug and my (our) parents’ wonderful humor, their dinner parties, silly improv & music. Healing condolences from the Oliver family to Brian, Laurie, Debbie, Robbie (in Spirit) and all family. Rest in Grace Momma Irwin, may you be carried in the highest Accord of Divine Love.
It has been a number of years since we last saw Bev, her warm smile and those blue eyes that were also Rob’s. We send our deepest condolences to Bev’s family. You have so many wonderful stories to share.
Debbie & families: So sorry for your loss. I worked with your Mom @Scotibank eons ago. She had a smile for everyone she met. Thinking of all of you at this sad time.
So sorry to hear of Bev's passing. Such a lovely person. Her dear mother Jessie lived in our apartment building for many, many years. Loving condolences to her family.
To Bev’s family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Bev always talked about her grand-children and children with a story and a laugh, she had the sweetest giggle. She’s now reunited with the 3 men in her life who she’s missed terribly and I’m sure telling them her cute tales. Our little Beverley will be very missed.

We are sorry to read of Bev's passing. We had not seen Bev in a lot of years, but she was one of those people you are just drawn to - a wonderful personality and a great smile. Our sincere condolences to all who loved her.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Bev/Nanny Bev. She was an extraordinary woman whose kindness, warmth, and generosity touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Bev opened her door and her heart to us when she met Keith Ferguson (our Dad/Grandpa), blessing us with love, laughter, and memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Rest peacefully, Nanny Bev.
