Met in high school in Kelowna but as Gary was 2 years older it took until Denise was in grade 12 for him to take notice.Gary was Denise's grad date in 1979 and married in 1982.Have 4 girls Tianna,1983, Kirbey, 1985, twins Shanaya and TaLeah 1995.

Pastor at First Baptist in Kelowna from 94-2000 then Lead Pastor at Summerland Baptist and now he is pastoring Lee Valley Bible Church in Ireland. While at Prairie our second daughter was hit by a car and recieved a serious brain injury and to this day remains quite handicapped although she can walk and talk and is sure a part of the family.Tianna married in 2004 to Luke Riemer and lives in Summerland, and gave us our first grand daughter Danai Kirbey on Oct 26/06.

They are both so beautiful and photogenic. I will have to get her to show me her photos.
Beautiful. I am totally jealous that she has a professional photographer!
A random PS: I watched a few episodes of Little Britain and thought of Gary and his warped sense of humour.
We miss you all!
HI!!! All the way from Chilliwack,BC
What a beautiful set of pictures. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little "pebble" from Mr. and Mrs Stone. :)
I check your blog almost daily and pray for you as much. You two and your family were such a blessing to us while you were here. And now you are all a blessing to us in Ireland. My prayers are gifts God gives me on behalf of you there. Hugs and again... what a beautiful daughter and granddaughter.
Hugs
