My condolences to Gertrude Klassen’s family.
I was a young girl when Mrs Klassen taught me the “adornment” of a quiet and peaceful spirit found in 1 Peter 3.
Later when I was engaged to be married, we walked through her bountiful flower garden and her words were “you can have any
and all of these to decorate the church”.
They also generously loaned us their farm truck for our 3 week honeymoon to Ontario, during harvest time.
With profound gratitude, Debra Tessier

Anita was right when she spoke at the funeral, “Mom would have been glad to see you all here today”. I smiled in Vancouver because I know Aunt Gertie would have been glad I was there too, virtually. That was one thing about Aunt Gertie, she was always happy to see me when I visited her the last few years. She wanted to know when I was going to be in Grunthal next and if I made it to her place, her warm smile and welcome awaited me. She liked hearing what I was up to in Vancouver and I liked hearing her stories. Thinking of my cousins Ruth, Herman, Leonard, Greg and Anita.

On behalf of our family, I am sending you hugs and sincere condolences. It is with sweet memories, that I think of the wonderful times Gertrude allowed our South Oaks grade 2 classes to experience the amazing collection of antiques in her house. She always beamed with delight seeing the children and being able to share special stories of the past. Her generous heart and her joyful smile will be remembered forever.

Mrs Klassen was one of the most nicest woman you would every have met. She made the best napoleon torte. She made one for my husband's birthday one year. I have many beautiful memories of her. Thank you for giving us Anita.
