Germaine was a wonderful woman. She was so caring and kind and always helped others and had two shoulders for friends to lean on. She helped my Aunt Jo for years. And in turn, she helped me. She touched my heart forever. I cherished our friendship. She will forever missed.
God bless her family!!

I am so sorry - What happened? Haven't been able to reach Germaine, didn't hear anything back from correspondence. I thought she moved. Today something inside me told me to check Legacy. I am heartbroken to find out she's gone. Wish so much I was able to say goodbye. Germaine was one of the most incredible woman I knew. She had the biggest caring heart and so much love to share and didn't have a selfish bone in her body. She loved her family so deeply. She forever touched my life and will be in my heart forever. I know God is rewarding you in heaven Germaine.
Thank you for everything you taught me.

Today I received a phone call from my sister, Kim, informing me that our cousin, Germaine, had passed away. She had just found out from Dave Przybylski when she happened to call him today. I certainly wish we had been informed. We had spent many holidays and I had spent many times in Wild Rose, Wisconsin with Germaine and Yvonne and Aunt Clara & Uncle Ben. They were all great times. Please accept my deepest sympathy and I will keep all of you in my prayers.

How wonderful to think that you have crossed the finish line in the race that we are all in, Germaine. Heaven welcomes a terrific new addition. I think of all the laughs we shared in our Bible Babes meetings, and how we needed to close the door so often! Say hello to Joanne and Marie for all of us Bible Babes! Rest In Peace, my friend.
