Selma R. Gienger

Uncle Al, Loren, Patty, and all the family.

My first memories of Uncle Al and Aunt Selma's place was romping around in the basement with all the kids. It must have been on a Sunday afternoon, because it took a long time to get there in those days. Ginny played with Patty, Ed & Larry with Clayton, Loren and I. Was I 4 or 5? It was a real special treat to visit someone I could play with. Most of our Aunts and Uncles only had "girls"! There was either a big mattress down there or we had...

My SPECIAL Uncle Al, Cousins Patti and Loren,
Selma is going to be SO missed, we also know she had a wonderful life here on earth, she was so very special to me. I could write a book on the many trips to Washington to visit for so many years. Then the wonderful hospitality and the best food ever was enjoyed by John and myself just three years ago on our visit there. The extra special time we had when Al and Selma came here to Missouri to visit us two years ago, such a memorable time. ...

Dear Uncle Al, Patty and Loren,

We are saddened by the loss of Aunt Selma. She will be greatly missed. She has been such a kind and warm person to us over the years. It has always been such a highlight in my life each time I was able to travel to Washington since my childhood to spend time enjoying her wonderful hospitality. !Wow! What a tremendous German Mennonite cook. Barb and I count it such a blessing to have spent some time with her just a year ago while on our missionary...

A big family reunion is now taking place in Heaven with the whole family there. We will miss her so much, she was so special to us and a blessing beyond words. We love you all.

To the all the family members of Gigi. She will be missed by many. I remember when the first time I met her, she treated me like I was already part of the family. I will never forget her and all the good food she always made during the holidays. She will be missed so much. I wish I could be there with u all but I know she will be watching over me while I'm in Iraq. Sorry for the loss of such a special person. Love u all and see you when I return.

Loren, Adele & family: May God comfort you today in your loss!

Al / Patti / Loren,

Selma had a special place in my heart. I will always remember when we moved to Washington from Perryton and we stayed with you for a time. Selma never complained, but was gracious and helpful. She will be missed, but that will only be temporary. We will all see her again. Butch
