My deepest condolences to all the Tribos. I know that my Mom & Dad (Dr. Bennie & Rose Kraus) are playing bridge with Joe and Gertie with the Good Lord looking over them all (and my husband, Dave, standing by with a gleam in his eye). God’s blessings to all, Sharon (Kraus) Masterson
Dearest Friend Lisa, as well as Janet, Judy, and Guy, I am grieved to hear of your loss. I have so many memories of you Mother’s many kindnesses (as well as Mr. Joe’s) to me at your Fleur De Lis Cove home. Especially while in grade school, she always made me feel welcome and like an adopted daughter.I pray for her eternal happiness, and that you all will find peace.Sharon Tillman Tubay
Gertie will be missed. She was my friend. I loved her dearly. I enjoyed playing golf and bridge with her. Her stories were second to none, much laughter when Gertie was around. I send love and prayers from me and the Tennessee Golden Girls. May God give your family peace in this time. Judye James
Gertie was a wonderful friend and mentor. Her life touched so many in a multitude of ways. She will be missed. Ronnie Smith
