We miss you Mom. You almost made your 88th birthday!Love, Bonnie
I send my heartfelt condolences and prayers to all of you during this time.
I will miss you Gertrude??. Your a fun and a funny lady with lots of humor. I`m sad that you left on this earth and didn`t get a change to spent your summer her with me. May you rest in peace till we meet again. I love you and love your southern accent.
It was great to have been able to spend the last chapter of her life together.. She was an amazing woman who filled out days with witty punch lines and old sayings that will never be forgotten. I`ll cherish all the memories we`ve shared for the rest of my life. You will always be missed Grandma and never forgotten. Love always and forever- Rob
Dear Vickie and Family,You are in my thoughts in the loss of your Dear Mother.Love and prayers .
To Gertie`s Family,I will so miss talking to Gertie. She had so many stories about all of you and voiced her love every time I visited her. I will miss my visits and her sense of humor and one liners that she always had. She always was grateful for every thing that was done for her. I think of her reunion with her loved ones that she has met on the other side. I am grateful so the short time I got to help take care of her. I will miss her greatly. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Gertie but I know if she raised Bonnie and put up with Benny, then she must have been a very special person. All my love to the whole family. There is never a right time to lose a mother, no matter how old we get, but in this case we can take comfort in knowing she had a full, rich and loving life.Elise
To Gertie`s Dear Family,My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May you find comfort in the wonderful memories of the past and in the hope of being reunited with her in the future. It was a privilege for me to have such a fine friend as Gertie. I will always remember her smile, even in the last few weeks of pain and suffering. I am grateful that the Lord has blessed her with the opportunity to come unto Him and be once again with loved ones who have gone on before her. She has blessed my life in so many ways. Until we meet again, I will miss you my dear friend, Gertie.
To Vickie, So sorry for you and your family- it is so hard to loose a parent. Stephanie Bojokles, Seton Class of `67.

Dear Bonnie and family,I am so very sorry for your loss. Gertie always had a smile for me along with a hug and a kiss. I loved our visits. She is missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am grateful to have known her and have had her as my friend. May the Lord bless and keep you in the hallow of His hand.Love, ~Kelly
Dear Pessagno Family, Have comfort in knowing she was richly loved on Northern shores. Perhaps living in America`s Last Frontier was a bold move but her pioneer spirit and love of family steered her on. Rest well Gert………your pioneer spirit is now on a new venture.Love,Kris Shine
