We are so shocked when we found out about Gerdi's death. Gerdi and Peter were friends with my parents, Doris and Georg, for over 50 years and visited us in Germany almost every summer. They were part of our family and we have countless wonderful memories with them. We loved her very much and will miss her. We are so thankful for this long lasting friendship. Our deepest condolences to her family.

Loosing Jean is a great loss for me. I will miss her dearly. Jeff and I spent many years visiting with Jean, doing errands for her, setting up her Christmas decorations and bring her the barrels of beer she enjoyed so much. Just a quick fact about Jean, she was a child during World War II and worked for the American Soldiers translating as she had been taught English. The American's paid Jean with the leftover food from the Soldiers. This is how Jean was able to make sure her family ate. She was a very strong women.

We are so sorry to learn about Jean's passing. I worked for her at Concord Answering Service for several years. She was one of the kindest and most gentle employers I ever had. We had a lot of fun working for Jean.

My mother, Lucille Caswell, worked for "Jean" and Pete for years at Concord Answering Service. My mother always spoke so well of Pete and Jean. They both came to my mother's calling hours in 1999 and re-introduced themselves to me. My mother would have been so pleased by their attendance. I will let the rest of siblings know and want to pass on our condolences to the Wonson family.
