Lil,Bunny,Maddie & Rich...you are all in my thoughts & prayers. Some of the best memories I have are from D street, we all grew up together, we
were all neighbors. Surrounded by family and relatives it was awesome, never lonely. The Christmas parties
that Uncle Gerry & Aunt Gert had were the best, especially when they all took out their instruments & spoons, the broom dancing. It was fun. Aunt Gert is at peace now, in heaven ..free of illness & pain. God rest her soul...love Shay.

Bunny, Debbie, Madeleine, Lillian, Richard and Kerry--

So many, many fond memories of good times growing up with family and Aunt Gert always at the piano or playing spoons (she taught us) or the harmonica or dancing the "balais"--this is the picture I keep in my heart. I know you will all miss her dearly in your everyday lives, but now God has called her home. I will keep you all in prayer--God will comfort you. Love,

Remember the Holidays at 19 D: The folk music, food. Pies everywhere! It was fantastic. Christmas gifts piled to the ceiling it seemed. I always looked forward to Aunt Gert playing the piano. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
