Charles, Donna, James and family,
We extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother. She leaves a legacy of a large wonderful family with many friends. Her service as a nurse, caring for and helping others, takes a special quality we all admire. This was instilled in her family as well. I have memories of Gertie as a young Aunt at Sturm family gatherings when I was young. We continued to visit with her occasionally at those events as our families grew. She was always at every event helping and visiting.
May God bless and keep each one of you as you celebrate and remember her life today and in the years to come.
David and Carol Minze
Deepest condolences to the family.
