    Steve, Sue, and families,
    My sympathy to you on the loss of your mother. She had a good life and a wonderful family. The last time I ran into her was when she and your dad were having lunch at V’s Grill in Winsted. Your dad was having health issues at that time. We had a very nice little visit. It is always so much fun seeing and visiting with friends from the past! I hope you are all doing well!

    Always enjoyed visiting Gerry through the years. I remember seeing her either walking or riding her bike to or from town to get her mail. Away she we go! Liz

    I loved Gerry! I got to know her best in her “Golden Years.” She would walk or bike by my townhouse (next to Donny Splettstazer’s house) on her way to walk on the school track. We had so many nice visits. She old me about growing up above the hardware store. Then, once she got married, they built a new house. When she & Elmer got married & built their house, she thought it was practically in the country, it was so far away from the “action” in downtown LP. (The town caught up with them slowly, one house at a time.) We would sometimes go to concerts together through the Glencoe Concert series. She enjoyed them all. I know she’s now singing in the concert to praise our Lord…with Elmer at her side/ My sympathy to you, Steve & SueAnn.

    Steve & Sue so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother.
    She was the sweetest lady, enjoyed visiting with her at Glenfields. I used to say ” Hello Mrs Hoernemann, and she would say “Who’s calling me Mrs Hoernemann ” LOL
    Wonderful lady.

    Your dad, Elmer, and my dad, Milo Kubasch, worked together for many years at the Lester Prairie Post Office. I got to know both your mom and dad at parties my parents would host for the area postal employees. I just loved spending time with your mom and dad. Your dad had the best sense of “dry” humor, and your mom was so mild mannered and kind. I have fond memories of both of them. I extend my sincere sympathy to your families. As time passes, may the wonderful memories of your mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa bring peace and smiles.

    Steve and Sue and your families–we love your mom. She’s a cousin, but because you two and my brothers and I played
    with you when we were young, she also seemed like an aunt. We saw her at all the Jenneke family reunions, up until covid.
    I sent Gerie books and devotions and she was so sweet and called to visit and say thank you until her sight did not
    allow her to read them anymore. We loved hearing that she rode her bike and kept walking for many years. We always
    enjoyed her sense of humor. What a blessing that it worked out that we got to spend an afternoon with her and with you,
    Steve, a few days before she died! We loved visiting with you again and we will always treasure that special visit with her.
    May God bless you all with beautiful memories of your time together and give you His strength, peace, and comfort in all
    the days ahead.
