My husband and I used to go to nursing home as Eucharistic Ministers and pray with Ms. Kirby. We recall how she loved to say Lord's prayer in French. Truly a blessing to have met her. May she rest in peace. Prayers for the family. Chip and JayMarie

Maryanne and Leeward , family and friends, my thoughts and prayers are sent to all of you. Aunt Kirby was the last Aunt left on Mom's side of the family. I used to visit her when she lived in Erath, and sorry I didn't get that chance to see her in Texas. I will always remember her sweet kind words and beautiful smile. Rest in peace, Aunt Kirby.
