Hi Dougie, Gloria, Aileen & Family
We are sorry learning Gertie has passed despite a full life. She left us with splendid memories and many lessons. Any return to Port Morien included a visit with "Gertie and Howard". I was guaranteed a warm welcome, stories about our relatives, their family, and grandchildren who remain precious.
Visits included a serving of delicious home-made bread and treats during our tea together. I recall getting out of school on a miserable day to find your Mom waiting there to drive us home. She remained young (in my mind) because she always looked and acted "cool". During our last visit with Gertie at Seaview Manor, my daughter (Natalie) mentioned what a great sport your Mom was recalling stories about "Dougie and Gus". I was proud of telling her about Gertie and Howard's love, and respect, for each other. True friends who were devoted to their faith, family, community, and friends. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest sympathy,
Gus & Shirley McDonald
