Ms. Gertie, I will miss you terribly, you were like a second Grandmother to me, Christy and Michelle. I remember you would keep my girls all the time and made them feel just as special and loved as they were your own grandchildren. Knowing you most of my life I feel as though a piece of me is gone too. I know you are up in heaven with Mama, Daddy and Pat and I know y’all are having a party telling tails. We will miss you a bunch. We love you , Christy Weeks, Cindy & Steve Parent
So very sorry sweet lady

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Aunt Gertie. She was always so good to Grandma Ruby & Grandpa Cullen. Praying for you all at this time.
Sorry to hear of Mrs. Tisdale’s passing. She was a very unique & interesting lady. I was amazed at her sharp mind when I first met her 4 years ago. I always enjoyed visiting with her whenever Miss Freckles & I went to Rky Mt Rehab. She even made a beaded necklace for Miss Freckles. She did believe in telling it like it was, and that always made me laugh. RIP
