She treated me like her own and will miss her. my thoughts and prayers to all. Jerry Moore #6 from: Rebecca George Richwood Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 2:23 PM   Gertrude was always a good neighbor.  Once when we both lived on the corners of Pearl and East Ottawa, I took her something I had baked and she wouldn't bring back the container until she had baked something in return.  As a result I still have her recipe for "Coffee Sheet Squares."  It's a little faded but I think it is worth a try again.   She blessed many, now may she rest in peace.
