Gertie was a Cousin I never knew. She was quite a bit older than I. But I knew Her Mom and Dad. Isola was Dad's older sister and he loved to visit with them on Sunday afternoons. I enjoyed those times and will keep cousin Gertie in my prayers. Her mother ##imported-begin##John David Rene Hollier##imported-end##
