It was always a pleasure to see Gertrude during tax season. If we discussed interest rates, I had fallen into her trap because she followed things financial very closely and knew more about treasury rates than I. Quite a remarkable woman.
Her tax accountant and friend.

I referred to Aunt Gert as my Aunt, however, she was actually my Great Aunt. She will be missed greatly. I will always remember visiting her house at Christmas time and sharing in the creation of the craft of the year. I will think of you especially at Christmas time when we decorate the tree with many of the crafts we made at your house.
Although your passing is sad and you will be missed, we are comforted by the thought of the many friends and great family around you.
God Bless
