Dear Family,



You are all in my prayers during this time of grief. I was so blessed to have had the honor of knowing your mom these past many years. She never ceased to amaze me at her ability to discern the true heart of every person that she came in contact with and to minister the love of Christ accordingly. I feel it a priviledge to have known such a godly person. Her humor,love, and the twinkle in her eye will not be forgotten. What a wonderful example she left for all of us!

Dear Kathy, Freddie,Danny & Jhonny,



I have been very blessed to be included in the Bolding, Payment and Schert family. Many, Many happy memories from childhood and till now, starting with my godparents Uncle Chuck and Aunt Ruth. Then life unfolded to included the Boldig's and the Scherts. I have truly been blessed. Last time saw Aunt Alice and you Freddie was at Uncle Chuck's two years ago. She always made me feel so loved, appreciated and blessed each time saw her or talked on the phone. She never left anyone without a prayer over you (rather you knew it or not) or laying on hands. We can all look forward to seeing her again in heaven. My heart goes out to you all and I am glad you all got to share such a longtime with such a wonderful Mother and through your Dad and Mom she got the blessing of so many other loved family.

Dr. Schert,

It is so hard to see the passing of a life. Especially a loved one such as your Mother. You did several surgeries on me some years back and I will never forget your prayers for God to take control of the procedures and for His comfort. I now pray for Gods comfort for you and your family. With all the kind words I read in this book, she was a wonderful and loving lady. God Bless You and your family.
