I loved spending time at Gertrude´s house as a child. Feeding lambs
With a bottle, she gave me two
Little Banty hens which I raised as pets. Coming to Green Bank always involved a Visit to Gertrude´s house. Such a warm and loving lady. Dear dear friend of our family and special friend of my mom and dad. Blessed
To have know this beautiful soul!
