So sorry to hear about Gert. I have very fond memories of the entire Carpenter Family. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
I love you, Mom-Mom.
Dear Mom-Mom ~
Thank you so much for the years of love, support, guidance, and French toast!
You were such a sweet person. I miss your warm hugs and kisses.
I remember the nights when I begged to sleep over at your house, and the mornings when you treated me to a home-made breakfast.
I remember the trips we made to Kennett Square, Dushore, Almost Heaven, and World's End State Park. I remember the trips to Muddy Run, Harry's Hot Dogs,
Park City, and Macy's.
Most of all - I remember you, and your awesome love.
Thank you for being you
~ Steven.

She was such a lovely lady.
She was such a lovely lady. My prayers go out to the "Carpenter" family, one and all. Especially to one of my oldest and dearest friends and a super daughter to Mrs. C. Nancy I know you are hurting. I love you.

I remember my friend Gert...
I remember my friend Gert....I remember daily walks to Harry's...and ceramic classes....and morning coffee ....and roller skating classes that I talked her into attending (well, actually only one class--because Gert fell and hurt her knee)....and swimming classes to which Gert accompanied me so that I could learn to swim (well, actually only one class: I never got past the low end of the pool, but Gert (who said she knew how to swim) moved with the rest of the group to the 8' level and had to be pulled out of the water because she failed to rise to the top after diving...and I never learned to swim...).....I do remember my friend Gert.
Jack and I feel very fortunate to have had Gert and Frank as neighbors.

Gert, you were a great person to know. I knew you professionally as your eye doctor. I always looked forward to your wit. You always had a unique take on the world.
You were always chipper and up beat, as shown by the comments made by your friends. My wife and I extend our condolances to your family. You will remain in our thoughts. We shared a love of flower gardening, I will see your face as I continue to do my gardening. You won't be forgotten. May you rest in peace and look over your family from above.
Sincerely,
Dr.& Mrs. John Vilcheck
