Bob, Carol and family, Our family is thinking of yours at this time. I will never forget the extreme kindness your mother showed to us every time we saw her and to me that of course made her my favourite aunt. She will once again be reunited with the love of her life. I still miss Uncle Henry's great smile. Kindest Regardsx- cousin Rick Wiens - Posted by: Richard Wiens (nephew) on: Mar 26, 2015

Hi Carol and Bob. Condolences to you and your families at the passing of your mom and grandmother. Hopefully the memories of her healthy years can over shadow these last few difficult years. I have the pleasure of inheriting one of her large Poppy needle points that mom asked her to do. You know the one. It hangs in my dining room and reminds me of both mom and Auntie Linda. - Posted by: Marcia Steckler (Krahn) (Neice) on: Mar 23, 2015

Dear Family of Linda Gerbrandt, I have had the privilege to visit and get to know Linda through the WEFC Congregational Visitation program. She was truly a special person who told her story by showing off her hand work and photos of her loved ones. Her warm and friendly character despite serious health issues has inspired me to be a better person. I will miss her but am happy for her to have completed her journey. - Posted by: Anne Guenther (Church Family friend & companion ) on: Mar 22, 2015

I had the pleasure of meeting your mom at the St. Norbert Nursing Home as my mom is a resident. In fact your mom and my mom arrived on the same day and shared the same dinner table. I also had the privilege of looking through your mom's memory book on her great achievements regarding quilting. In fact when I finished a quilt I would bring it to your mom for approval. Your mom was very much a lady, and I know my mom will miss her terribly. May you and your family have comfort in knowing how very special she was. - Posted by: Sharon McDougall () on: Mar 21, 2015
