Dear Twyla’s family - My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. I have many fond memories growing up on the 7th just down the road from the Kents and all the fun times we shared together. Your mother was a lovely woman who was always generous, kind and welcoming to me. What a blessing she was to our neighbourhood and community. May she rest now in peace.

To Brenda, Doug, Shirley, Dave, Ron, Sandra and families -
Growing up right across the road from your family, I remember your mom so well. She was always so kind to us and always had a smile on her face. She was such a busy lady – working in her garden, baking cookies, etc., and it appears that she stayed that busy for most of her life. You were blessed to have her as a mom for so long and those who knew her were blessed as well. Wayne and I send our deepest condolences.
Emely and Wayne Bennett

So very sorry to hear of my neighbour Dave's mom's death. I know what a kind and patient man Dave is, and that her family loved her. It sounds like she's more than earned her spot in Heaven with her jobs and years of volunteering. Sending condolences to the family. RIP Twyla.

To the Kent family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked for Chatham OPP Detachment while your mom worked for #1 District Headquarters. She was such a lovely lady, always friendly, helpful and smiling. I enjoyed the United Church luncheons we would walk to every so often on our lunch hour. We always made sure to get tickets from her. Every time I would run into her at the mall or wherever, she always made a point to chat and catch up. She will be missed. My sincere condolences.

We were saddened to learn of the passing of Twyla. She was a wonderful, caring person who always had a smile for everyone. We got to know her through the many years she attended Park St. United. Twyla and the "Unit 7 gals" were always busy helping others, but they mainly formed lifetime friendships. Twyla will be missed by all who knew her. Hugs and love ❤
