You will be missed Mrs. Bridges. I still remember the homey smell of your house and doing theory at your kitchen table. It was a pleasure to be your student, and also your friend.

Brenda and all the family . Thinking of you all at this difficult time your mom was a wonderful lady and great neighbour she will be missed by some many. Love Always The Bailey Family!!!!
Tom & Brenda and families
Deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. She was inspirational to her community, with her musical talents and teaching abilities. There are likely at least three generations in our community that can be thankful that she taught so many to play the piano. I know within my own family, my mother and my daughter had the pleasure of Kathryn teaching them to play. Such a kind lady who will truly be missed. May all your memories give you peace.

My thoughts and prayers are wiith you. Your Mom was a woman who helped others and was a wonderful teacher. I will always remember her fondly for being my piano teacher as well as driving me to church when I was a kid. God bless her. Bonnie (Wright) Kershaw
So sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. She was a delightful lady in every way. Linda Brown (Core) and I were glad to visit a few years ago and reminisce with her. Our sincerest sympathies are with you and your families – you will all miss her very much! Lots of piano lessons over the years! Warmest regards, Cheryl (Brown) Gibson.
Tom, Brenda, & Families,
Our deepest sympathy to you at this time of loss.
Kathryn was definitely a mentor to me during my growing up days at B&E. We have fond memories of seeing her continuing to play the organ and piano whenever we have returned for special services at B&E throughout the years.
