Not sure what to say?

I apologize for my tardiness but I too was so saddened to hear of Gerd's passing. I worked with Gerd at Nordstrom for many years and had the pleasure of bumping into her on her visits back to Seattle. I will always remember what a wonderful and happy spirit she was. And a go-getter in her own right as well. She still brings a smile to my face.

Gerd was so gracious; she always made me feel special and welcome. Thank you cousins, for sharing her! Love you, Brita

Gerd was a great person. My Mom Carol Swerk worked with her for many years at Nordstrom's and they were very good friends. Gerd always treated my sister and I like grandkids. I have fond memories of spending time with her when we would pick her up and go to lunch at the Coffee Stua along with seeing her for the holidays and birthdays. I wish we could have been at the memorial service last week but we were out of town. Gerd will be missed greatly by the ones that loved her but I know she...

Conversations with a dear friend have come to a close for now, but memories live on. Times in the church kitchen making soup for the Lenten soup suppers and other church functions come to mind, Also fun times cheering on the Shorecrest basketball team in the Tacoma Dome and the women's and men's basketball teams at the UW, and while visiting Gerd in AZ cheering the Mariner's on at spring training. Gerd was recognized over and over by other fans in the stands. She enjoyed so many church and...

Gerd was a good friend of my late mother, Helen (Holly) Ness/Oien Sacha, a fellow Norwegian. I have warm memories of visiting the Bjorseth Bellevue home as a child in the late 1950's. I recall being treated royally to wonderful cookies and I was made to feel so welcome whenever greated by my mother's friend. As an adult, I would drop by to say hi and visit briefly with Gerd over the many years she worked at Nordstrom's (I also worked downtown for several decades). It was always cheering to...

Aunt Gerd was a GREAT aunt.

We were sad to learn of the recent passing of Gerd. Gerd was one of the first residents our mother, Marthabelle Paulson, met when she moved to Aegis just over three years ago. Gerd remained a lovely friend and my sister and I enjoyed talking with her in the lobby of Aegis, or at the many activities we attended while mom was there. We send our deepest sympathy to your family. We know how difficult it is to say goodbye.

Marthabelle's...

I read about Gerd's passing in today's Seattle Times and feel very bad that I will be unable to attend the service on Friday. It's so difficult to say goodbye to those who have been such an important part in our lives. My thoughts are with you all.
