Dear Bob,

I was sorry to hear of the death of your mother.My memories of her are seeing her in church at H.O.C.

and her calling you and Ken in for supper as we played softball in the street, not an easy job. She was a strong religious woman,qualities we don't see enough of today.She was from the "Great Generation" and will be sorely missed.I hope all is well with you and yours. Please forward my sympathy to your Dad,Ken and all the other Gilberts.



Warmest Regards,

Helen Krueger

As a Boy I looked up to Mrs. Gilbert as a wonderful mother. As a man I looked up to her as a beautiful mother, wife, grandmother.

An example of someone we could all learn from. May she rest in peace.
