  1. Oh how I loved Gertie Mae❣️She was always one of my favorites and I have many fond memories of her from childhood to adulthood. She is such an example of Christlike love to ALL. She was a beautiful woman on the inside and out. I was blessed to visit her in her later years in the memory care center. She is forever stamped on my heart. ♥️ These past few days will forever be remembered and I am fortunate to have been a small part in her transitioning into the next life with Pam and my Mom Ann Gregg. Heartfelt hugs to Pam, Stu, Craig and Chris at this time especially. Gertie will be missed tremendously. I can’t wait to see her again, and rest assured she is having a wonderful reunion on the other side She is a beautiful Angel for many now.

  2. Hi to my “Sutton” cousins,

    I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Gert’s passing. She was one of the sweetest and most caring people I knew. Every moment spent were her and
    Uncle Jim are treasured memories. I lost my mom in 2014 so I know how hard this is but knowing that she is with others who loved her is of great comfort. What a reunion that was! Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Dear Pam, Stuart, Craig and Chris, My love goes out to you all. Your mom ( my aunt Gertie) was a wonderful lady. One never really becomes accustomed to having their mother gone. You will always miss her. Knowing she has gone home to a loving Heavenly Father brings a measure of peace. Remember her and all she taught you. Until you’re with her again, may you find comfort and peace in knowing she loves you still and yearns for your happiness. Love and prayers to you all.

  4. Pam – I only met your mom a couple of times, but I loved her sweet nature and shining soul. I am so glad you got to have special quality time with her before she passed. You were such an angel to her during her long journey of dementia care and I know she was able to enjoy more days of strong health and sound mind than most in her condition thanks to your love and herculean efforts in overseeing her care. She was blessed to have you and my heart goes out to you and the entire family as you grieve her loss. I know she will always be in your hearts and may her wisdom and happy memories carry you forward.
