Dear Uncle Red, Thomas and Teresa, and Wayne and Ann,
Please accept our condolances and our sympathy in this time of deep loss. Aunt Gertrude is in our prayers and is fondly remembered.
She is now at peace, free, and released from the chains that bound her so tightly, these past few years. She lived a long and fulfilling life and left us all with treasured memories.
Some of my earliest childhood recollections are of Mom and Aunt Gertrude, telling stories, in the backyard at our house on Harding Street. And, those two could really swap some great stories. It was a fine and rich history they shared.
It is regretable that we could not share some of her family's recently discovered history with her. She would have enjoyed it so. But then, now she knows, doesn't she? And, we can take comfort in that.
Love from all of us,
David, Zita, Donald, and Amelia##imported-begin##David W. Lasser##imported-end##
Uncle Red and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Gertrude. I was hoping to be able to see her next month when I come home. I wish I was closer so I could be there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.
Love-Diane##imported-begin##Diane and Marvin Reed##imported-end##
