My heartfelt sympathy to families and friends.
Lost of loved ones in death and coping with the big adjustments that such a great loss brings is never easy. Jehovah God will be our secure refuge knowing that He felt what we feel. The resurrection hope found in the Bible helps you to gain an inner calm and strength.-John 5:28,29.
May you find comfort now by meditating on the prospect of meeting your loved ones again.

I worked with Gert at Blodgett OB. Those were the best of times. She was always smiling and laughing and made work fun. The moms and babies were given wonderful care by her.
She was very proud of you her family and we heard many stories of you growing up! My deepest sympathy for your loss.
Her "Blodgett Family" will never forget her.

I have fond memories of working with Gert at Blodgett OB. She was always upbeat and we could always count on her to do a good job. We also had a few fun parties at her home. God's blessing and my sympathy to her family.
