Our condolences to the family.......Dear Gertrude, We talked about Emma, your cousin several times. I enjoyed meeting you even if it was through phone conversations. It was delightful to have talked to you and also have shared memories about Emma during the time she lived in Austin, Texas. I will miss talking to you and learning about all the different topics we talked about! May you rest in peace.

Aunt Gertrude and Uncle Glenn were such role models. They believed in the love of God, country, family, home and each other. They will truly be missed but always in our hearts. Love, Janet.

I'm sorry for your loss. Growing up, I have such fond memories of your mom and your whole family. I always looked forward to drinking Grapette pop, playing the piano and putting on recitals for your mom.
She was a fabulous baker, and I always looked forward to her baked goods and Campbell's chicken noodle soup made with milk. She even made a banana cake for my brother, Flip. She was one of my mom's closest friends, and I'm glad she stayed in touch with me after my mom died.

I also wanted to share with you a reflection I read yesterday. "Take heart for God loves your dear departed more than you can imagine. Trust that in His infinite wisdom God has chosen the proper time to call her home. She is forever safe in His hands where she will be free of pain and suffering for eternity." We...
