Obituary
BEAR — on Friday, December 31, 2004 at London Health Sciences Centre – University Campus. Gladys F. (Gilbert) Bear of London in her 88th year.
The definition of success–To laugh much; to win respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give one’s self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm, and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived–this is to have succeeded.”,0

Michael: Please accept this message of sympathy in the loss of your grandmother. I have heard you mention her many times and I know how much you will miss her. If possible I would be at visitation but I am currently helping Judie to look after Betty Lou.
Sincerely, Marilyn Taylor.
I will remember Mrs. Bear as a gentle soul with an ever-present smile.
Judy and Bonnie, please accept my deepest sympathy at the loss of your Mother.
Dear Judith, Michael, Marcia, and Melissa — I am sorry that I cannot join you at this time to celebrate the wonderful life of your mother and grandmother. If any of you have talked with Scott, you will know that Marilyn and I have been splitting the care for my mother since her major coronary. To all of you, I remember your mother/grandmother most for her gentleness — and in this world, there can never be enough of that. I think the departure of a person who quietly approaches life and people leaves a silence that often surprises the survivors, but that, in time, it is softened by the laughter and love that speaks volumes more than words. I hope and believe that Gladys’s life, well-lived, will outlast her death, so that as so many who follow Judaism believe, her immortality will be assured by the generations that remember her. Love to all of you….. Judie and crew
