Not sure what to say?

Sorry, G. Louise, I'll miss you.

God Bless you Joe and Ric my thoughts are with you guys. I loved your Mom and have some great memories at the bowling alley with her.

Gertie was a dog's best friend (& she thought people were "OK" too). I'm gonna miss my adopted Grandma Gertie & her warm hugs. Scott

What a beautiful Woman Gertie was I have some wonderful memories of being with her and Joe. Joe she will be in your heart forever Such a loving couple. You are both loved by so many people.

To the family:

May you find comfort in God, the "Hearer of prayer", during this difficult time. (Psalms 65:2)

Gertie when I saw your picture today it brought a smile to my face. It's been sometime since I last saw you, but you're forever in my heart. I gave you a tiny yellow rose bush once, and you thanked my many times over for that small gift. You brought me bread and told me tales of your travels. We all knew of you passion for rescuing animals, and your efforts were appreciated. Your smiling face is all it takes to remind me of the wonderful soul within. Thank you for touching my life. My...

Grandma was a delightful soul who always went above and beyond for her family. She always loved to show her family a good time. She loved her friends and rescuing animals was her passion. I will never forget the times we had together and the things she did for us. You will be missed Grandma! I love you.

Salty & sweet...I am blessed to have known her all these years & I will remember Gertie as both family & friend. She had a passionate, generous, caring heart & was so much fun! Gertie was an incredible asset to the animal rescue community & will be missed & remembered for her commitment to saving lives. I see her running on the beach with Rags! Love & hugs.

I remember Gertie as having a great passion for the animals. She was so passionate, that she might tell you things you didn't like to hear, but she meant well and never found an animal she didn't like. Gertie was a wonderful baker and would bring in cakes and desserts. Her heart will live on in those that knew and loved her. My thoughts and prayers for her family at this time of loss. Remember you carry her with you at all times. Rest in Peace Gertie...till we all meet again.
