Guestbook

  1. Tim and Page and families, Sorry to hear of your loss. She was always so nice to me and i wont forget her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Sincerely, Jerry Hamill

  2. With my deepest regrets and sympathy. She was a great and funny lady. I always enjoyed talking with her. She had so many interesting stories.

  3. Small world. I am from the San Gabriel Valley, in California. Have been here now for 24 years. A friend of mine I have known since 1956 resides in Escondido. Bob Heygood and family. God bless Gertrude and all of you, her family.

  4. Some people are just naturally “special” -that was always my thought about Mrs. Lyons. Mrs. Lyons sat in front of us at church – and I often saw her as I took a daily walk past her home – and always looked forward to greeting her. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Patricia Austin
