Gertrude Kline Obituary

We'll miss you, Gertie ! We had many great and memorable times together at family gatherings over the years. Our hearts and sympathy are with your family and loved ones.

Aunt Gertie always had such a uplifting and fun personality to be around, which will be missed my me and a whole lot of others. I have always been so impressed by Aunt Gertie's ability to raddle off any family members' birthdate, by her incredible memory.

We will miss you very much.

Love Always.

Dear family of Aunt Gerti,

I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I was always very fond of her, and it brings me great sorrow. I wish you all God's blessing in this time of need.

Even though I was just her Daught-In-Law, for over 35 years, I loved her as if she were my Mother. When ever she wanted to go some where, she new all she had to do was call and (snap) just like that I would be there for her. I loved her with all my heart and I will miss her very much. She is at peace now, playing the slot machines with Aunt Margie and rolling triple 7's every time and always a Winner
I will see you later Mom

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
