Not sure what to say?

I have many memories of working with Sister Gunnel during my years as a Lutheran parish secretary. Most vivid are the times of receiving her personal support shown along with a dose of her sense of humor and kindness. I am sure God smiled when he welcomed her home, well done good and faithful servant.

I knew Gunny from St Peters Church Sorry that I was unable to attend the service. I am sure in her manner she understood She was missed when not in church she was a woman of great faith

blessings and prayers

The loss of a loved one is one of the hardest things in life to endure just remember memories are the treasures of our minds never to be forgotten....
Memories for me come to mind of all the time we spent as tour guides and also singing in the Choral Society, and other things her and I were part of, all of them pleasant and happy times.
My prayers be with you

So many fond memories of working together at Muhlenberg Hospital Center...even though I only saw her occasionally in recent years, she still holds a very special place in my heart...I will miss her!

Gunny was a character! Enjoyed the many years we sang together in the Cathedral Choral Society.She always took time to say hello and share many stories and jokes. Many good memories. Lois
