Not sure what to say?

Dear, Phillip and Amy, Although I never knew Gertie personally, I felt like I did through Susie. She loved him so much and shared who he was with me. I know she still misses him and I miss hearing about how special he was! Love to you, suzie Gavin ALTENBURG

Philip and Amy,
I am deeply saddened by the news of your loss. You all are in my prayers and thoughts.

Dear Amy and Phillip,
I never had the pleasure of meeting Gertie but I feel that I knew him through Susie. I know he was so special to her and that she loved him dearly as so many did. I can't imagine the pain that you must be experiencing but I can only hope that you somehow get to the other side of your grief. Ted and I are hoping that the light that Gertie was to so many will shine on as he passes to another place of love and fulfillment.
Love,
Suzie and Ted Altenburg

Dear Amy and Phillip,
I never had the pleasure of meeting Gertie but I felt like I knew him through Susie. She spoke so often and so affectionately of him. He was a brave and bright soul. Susie will miss him so very much. My heart bleeds for you...I have no idea how difficult this time must be for you but I can only imagine the depth of pain you must be feeling. Ted and I are thinking of you and hoping that with the help of family and friends you will somehow get to the other side...

Amy and Philip,
I know Gert was so special. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that I am thinking of you at this most difficult time and all of you are in my many thoughts and prayers.
Love and Blessings,
Laura

Amy, Philip and Liesel, We are so very sorry for your family. We are praying for all of you.

Phillip, Amy and Leisel,
We write you with heavy heart on the passing of Gert. But this earthly door that has closed has opened one in a much better, heavenly place where he is truly free. No struggles. A place where he can see and we all know he is hunting and eating his chicken wings! We also know he is with a special friend named Margot. They are truly called special for great reason.
With love and admiration,
The Schenks
ps we will pray for you, but not for Gert...

Dear Amy Phillip and Liesel, How saddened we were to hear of the passing of your dear son Gertie, He was so nice to this crowd from Va. when we all met in St. Louis we loved him from the start. If ther are 4-wheelers and tractors in heaven then I know he is driving all over with Mici hanging on. God Bless him and your family. With love Harry and Deal

Phillip and Amy,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Gert. From what I've read and heard about him, he was quite a kid. My niece, Liz Sommers McNamara sent me an article from 2008 when he bagged a 10 point buck. I was impressed. I've been hunting for quite some time, and I've only had a shot at one, but he got one. That is great.
I say the Rosary before Mass every Sunday and pray for my friends and family members who have gone on to their eternal reward. I also remember Dr....
