May Aunt Gertie rest in peace. She was always a delight to visit with. Her and Uncle Bill were so much fun at family reunions. I’m sure there is quite a Northouse reunion in heaven with all the siblings and her parents greeting her to paradise!

My deepest condolences to the entire Fielder family. I am so sorry for your loss. I have many wonderful memories of visiting Aunt Gertie and Uncle Bill every time we were in Lancaster visiting my Grandpa Norm and Grandma Marion. Thinking of you all and sending prayers for peace, comfort, and strength.
