To my Wellenstein cousins, I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Gertrude was such a lovely person, who I have such sweet childhood memories of. Even though we only got to see her (and your father) once a year when we would trek from Maryland to the mid west, she always made me feel special, comfortable and loved. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could be there for her funeral, but will be there in spirit. Sending love.

To Kathy. I was sorry to hear about your mom. I remember all the stories you would tell about your trips with your mom. She is now back with your dad and they are both watching over you. Nancy Thorpe

Dear Jane. I have just heard about the death of your mother and wish to send you my condolences. I recall the times you talked about your experiences with your mother and it was clear you were an attentive, caring and loving daughter. I wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and your family. Sincerely, Susan Peterson

To Kathy and her family. My condolence to you on the passing of your mother. My name is Kathy Wellenstein Conn, my father, Adolph Wellenstein was a cousin to Henry Wellenstein. This past spring, 2013, my cousin and I, Mary Ann Dondlinger Flynn, met you after her daughter Lori Flynn talked to you over the phone. WE had a nice visit this spring and I am so sorry to hear of the death of you mom.

Hi Everyone,
I just learned of Gert's passing to a new life. I am happy for her, though it is always sad to let someone go. I am sorry that I haven't seen her for a while. One thing is certain, she no longer has a hearing problem, which she struggled with for a long time. Please know that she is in my thoughts and prayers. Many Blessings on all of you.
Peace!
Fr. Greg
