Gertrude Seifert will be missed. I was lucky enough to be able to spend time with her through my years as I grew in Weirton. I enjoyed spending time with her and her grandson Ray. Gertrude was like another grandmother to me.
Dear Ray, Wendy and Ray, I’m sorry to hear of the passing of your mom and grandmother. My prayers are with you and your family. In Christian Love, Shirley
Ray, sorry to hear about your mother. As a coincidence my father was born and raised in Wilkinsburg, PA. Never knew that about your mother. I know how proud she was of you and what you achieved with your many talents. My kids still laugh when I say that I was in the choir for five years. You had much patience.
Ray, I was very sorry to see that your mother passed away. I did not know until today (9-18-06). She was a very kind and thoughtful person and I’m sure that she will be missed. I know, though, first hand how hard it is to deal with alzhemer’s. Deepest sympathy to you and your family. Tam & Hoop
