To the Kaul & Alprin Family,



I'm so sad to hear about Aunt Gert's passing. She lived a long & wonderful life. Aunt Gert's now with Uncle Harold.



My special memory with Aunt Gert was after my Grandparents and Uncle Harold passed. We went out for dinner together at her favorite Thai restuarant in Royal Palm and just talked. It was just shortly after my Grandmother passed away and she told me that the memories of what my Grandmother looked like before passing would fade away with time and that the warm memories that I had would come back. Aunt Gert was right! I will never forget those words.



My thoughts and prayers are with you all.



With much love,



Jon
