I was sorry to learn of Gert passing. I always enjoyed her stories she shared with me about the great memories she had of my dad... she left me with the impression that she really liked him... If there is any relief of someone passing, is that there is many great loved-ones on the other side waiting for you and the pain and suffering they may have had is now over.##imported-begin##Ralph E.

so sorry to hear about cousin Gert,she did have a hard life but did not seem to let things get the best of her.I agree with Ron about what he said about her memory, I could not figure out all those relatives she would tell us about, she sure was interested in the family tree and collecting old photo negatived and haveing them developed. rest in peace Gert##imported-begin##marlene ojeda##imported-end##
It was always great to see Gertie, although she had much to suffer from and much to complain about she was always full of fun.
And she always knew so many people, could confuse me in a hurry talking about cousin so and so and I find its the third cousin of the second son of the third wife of someone! How she could keep it all in her head always got me.
We talked about being of the oldest generation and Gertie was not afraid and looked forward to being with family and friends in the hearafter. Love ya gal. Cousin Ron##imported-begin##Ron Margetson##imported-end##
I'm very sorry to hear of Gertie's passing. She helped so much during my family research a few years ago. And it was enjoyable speaking with her by phone. She was born on the same day as my mother and we enjoyed comparing information like that. My condolences to her family.##imported-begin##Beverly Boor##imported-end##
Sorry for your loss. We lost touch with Gert when she moved up north. I was surprised to see she passed on my mom's birthday(Elsie)Gert certainly was a postive person with all she has been trough in her life. She had a strong faith which I am sure helped her trough many rough times. Prayers are with you all. Nancy##imported-begin##Nancy Collins Raab##imported-end##
