Gertie holds a dear place in my heart. In the little time I knew Gertie, she taught me how to be strong in my decisions, witty and sharp. I aspire to be just as healthy, funny and sharp at 102 as Gertie was! I am thankful I kept in touch with her after she moved to NC from California. Before her move, I told Gertie she and my daughter were almost 100 years apart! My daughter was born on 3/29/14 and she offered to take us out to brunch! It was the sweetest time and I remember her saying "It's nice to have lunch with someone who is 100 years younger than me," and we laughed. I lost communication with the family after the move, however I am thankful this site still has her obituary up! She passed on my birthday a couple years ago, and it's so cool to have known her here on Earth! See you again, Gertie!
