I will always remember Gerty as having a heart full of gold. She was always so loving and fun. She was a selfless woman always willing to do for others. She was a role model to all of us growing up with her quick-wit and loving embraces. She was one of our "favorite moms" and will be missed greatly. We love you Mrs. Bobka. May you rest in peace and be greatly rewarded for all that you´ve done for others.
