I love you so much Grandma. I always feel you around hugging me whenever things feel off. I know your watching. I wished I could of been around more. I always will remember how you've always told me I was special. You've always reminded me that gods love is so strong, with him I can overcome anything. I miss you so so much.

It has been an honor to know Gertie, Jack and their incredible family! We will all miss you Gertie!

Gertie was such a blessing to me and my family. We will treasure our memories.

I loved listening to your accent and always asked you to say things over. You thought I was...

Aunt Gertie, you were an amazing, loving and caring woman with whom I loved spending time with. You have given me so many memories that I will keep with me forever. You are the perfect example of a Christian and Jesus has taken you home. You are now at peace. I love you!

I miss you Grandma!
