Gertrude was certainly a memorable person from my time at Sacred Heart Parish. I will have a Mass for her here at the hospital in La Crosse.

Dear Bob & Katy,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Gertrude. She did a wonderful job of living. I can only hope to do, to some degree, as well as she did.
I hope the two of you are doing fine. I am still hanging in there.
Much love and well wishes to you both and your family.
